Please help!

Need to find a boys name i love as much as my first son, [name]Max[/name].

so far we like:

[name]Leo[/name] - ive been seeing this a lot lately. is it trendy? i think of it as sort of a classic, just dont want to give my son anything that will become too popular.
[name]Eli[/name]
[name]Theo[/name]/[name]Teddy[/name] - nickname for [name]Theodore[/name]? I dont really like [name]Theodore[/name] though - so probably just [name]Theo[/name] on its own
[name]Jonah[/name] - husband isnt really into this one
[name]Jonas[/name] - he likes this one only a little more than [name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Tucker[/name] - nn [name]Tuck[/name]
[name]Sam[/name] - I dont really like [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Grady[/name]

middle name will be [name]Michael[/name]. Last name [name]Brown[/name].

what names do you like the best? what sounds best with big brother [name]Max[/name]? michael is a family name - so its more important to me to be used regardless of flow or how it may sound. ( i say this because nothing seems to sound good with either names!)

i need help! i dont feel like anything is “right” so any other suggestions are welcome! :slight_smile:

thanks so much!

I think [name]Theo[/name] stands well on its own and I love [name]Tucker[/name]! What about something like [name]Samson[/name] instead of [name]Samuel[/name]?

I like [name]Leo[/name] and theo and though I never thought I’d say this… [name]Teddy[/name]! I reFIFA book recently where the main character names her son [name]Theodore[/name] but he is only called teddy. It grew on me

thank you! and i like [name]Samson[/name] as another way to get to [name]Sam[/name], thanks for the suggestion!

I think [name]Grady[/name] goes the best with [name]Max[/name].

I think [name]Sam[/name] and max is very cute,

My favorite from your list is [name]Theo[/name].
[name]Leo[/name] is cute and goes great with [name]Max[/name]. It’s gaining popularity but I think of it as more old fashioned rather than trendy.
[name]Eli[/name]- I really like this name.
[name]Tucker[/name] rhymes with a swear word, so to me it’s just setting a kid up for teasing.
[name]Jonas[/name]- It just reminds me of the [name]Jonas[/name] brothers.
[name]Sam[/name]- I like it as a nickname for [name]Samuel[/name]. Seems kind of plain on it’s own.
[name]Grady[/name]- don’t like it
other ideas-
[name]Levi[/name]
[name]Trent[/name]
[name]Josiah[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Trevor[/name]
[name]Wyatt[/name]

With [name]Max[/name], I like…

1 [name]Theo[/name] - A spunky name that can stand of its own. [name]Max[/name] and [name]Theo[/name] sound like “natural” brothers to me.

2 [name]Leo[/name] - I love this strong and handsome name. It has a long history to back it up too (saints and popes). [name]Max[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] are a three-letter sibling powerhouse!

4 [name]Eli[/name] - A Biblical gem and I like [name]Max[/name] and [name]Eli[/name] together.

5 [name]Sam[/name] - this name goes well with [name]Max[/name] but having a [name]Max[/name] and [name]Sam[/name] as siblings is kind of predictable. [name]Sam[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Brown[/name] would be a pretty common name too, wouldn’t it?

thank you!

harvey is actually another name I liked.

love luke/lucas but cant use it because of its use by a close family member.

I agree that [name]Max[/name] and [name]Leo[/name] or [name]Max[/name] and [name]Theo[/name] sound like a great sibet - these are probably my two top names. thank you!

I think we have the same naming style! I have a [name]Teddy[/name] ([name]Edward[/name]) and a [name]Max[/name] ([name]Maxwell[/name]), everyone always comments on how their names compliment each other, so my pick would have to be [name]Teddy[/name]! I also have an [name]Gus[/name] ([name]August[/name]) and everyone loves the three together as well. But my opinions on all your names:

[name]Leo[/name] - I think this is very classic, and yes it is becoming more common but not too common…It’s near the top of my list to so I love it!
[name]Eli[/name]- I like this as a shortened name for [name]Elijah[/name] but not really by its self.
[name]Theo[/name]/[name]Teddy[/name] - I’m not a huge fan of [name]Theo[/name]…but I adore [name]Teddy[/name] obviously.
[name]Jonah[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t love it but I like it much more than [name]Jonas[/name]…I don’t think it goes with [name]Max[/name] that well.
[name]Jonas[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like it at all really.
[name]Tucker[/name] - This is really cute…my third pick.
[name]Sam[/name] - I don’t really like [name]Sam[/name] on it’s own but [name]Sam[/name] and [name]Max[/name] sound ok together.
[name]Grady[/name]- My least favourite of your choices.

[name]Hope[/name] I helped a little bit…other names that I am considering that might work for you could be:
[name]Harry[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Liam[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]
or even [name]Gus[/name] ahah :slight_smile:

[name]Just[/name] suggestions hope you find the perfect name for your bub!
[name]Polly[/name]

I love so many of your choices. I think [name]Leo[/name] is a great match with [name]Max[/name] as would [name]Theo[/name]. I also think [name]Jonah[/name] would work as a brother to [name]Max[/name]. [name]Sam[/name] works but it is almost too matchy. I also like [name]Grady[/name]. You have so many good choices, you really can’t do wrong :slight_smile: I also like the suggestion of [name]Henry[/name].

love your boys names!! [name]Edward[/name] would be a great way to get to [name]Teddy[/name], as im not totally sold on [name]Theodore[/name]. thank you!

thank you! it might come down to bringing 3 or so names to the hospital and see what works :slight_smile:
