I just wanted to add we would like to name him ideally before [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] when we are with family…

I know you say you’re not too sure you’re keeping [name_m]Henry[/name_m], but it is actually my favourite of the bunch. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] has a nice vintage feel, and fits with [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] beautifully.

If [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is to be eliminated, my vote would go to [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u].

I voted for [name_u]James[/name_u] because you said you’re uncertain about keeping [name_m]Henry[/name_m], which makes me think it isn’t your top choice and therefore should be nixed from the list, in my opinion (to make it easier for you!). [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] is nice, but [name_u]James[/name_u] is a little more timeless to me, a name that could work at any age and any time, and [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_u]James[/name_u]/[name_u]Jamie[/name_u] sound really nice together.

[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] (I prefer [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] with nn [name_u]Sam[/name_u])
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]

Congratulations by the way! Maybe on [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] the right name will come to you and you can tell him someday you named him on the holiday. But if it doesn’t come by then, don’t rush to pick a name out of pressure. I know that is MUCH easier said than done, but better to pick the right name a little later then regret it down the road! Good luck.

I agree with the previous poster. I like [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] the best personally, however, for your family, I think [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] seems to be the best bet. Good luck! All are lovely names! You won’t be able to go wrong here. :slight_smile:

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is brilliant! [name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_m]Willam[/name_m] would be my second choice

7

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is my pick.

8

I voted for [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u].

Though I love the name [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u], if you’re not sure you want to keep [name_m]Henry[/name_m] as a possibility, I thought best to vote accordingly.

In order of top choice to least favorite:

  • [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] ("[name_u]Sam[/name_u]") & [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (tied)
  • [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m]
  • [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
  • [name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] (I don’t know why, but I’m not a huge fan as a nickname as a first name)

My brother is [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] “[name_u]Sam[/name_u]” so this was my choice. He was also a [name_u]December[/name_u] baby! (The 17th)

10

I think [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is the most interesting name. I like it with your daughter, [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]’s, name. Second choice would be [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]

11

  1. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]; so handsome and classic!

  2. [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] (love the nickname [name_u]Jem[/name_u], is that an option?)

  3. [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]; very sweet!

  4. [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m]; very distinguished but also a bit plain

  5. [name_u]Sam[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m]

13

With sister [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] for sure! [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] would be my second pick. I do like [name_m]Henry[/name_m] a lot, but it’s not my favorite with [name_f]Lauren[/name_f].

I voted for [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. What a wonderful classic. [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] and [name_u]Sam[/name_u] make a great pair!

Yes, I agree with others that say [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is great. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is a classic as well but currently it’s becoming a trendy classic as everyone seems to love it now (as you can see). [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]/[name_u]Sam[/name_u] is a true classic, in my opinion as it’s not driven by sudden trends. I’ve always love the simplicity of the nickname [name_u]Sam[/name_u]. I just think it’s a perfect choice for you.

[name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] work beautifully as sibling names to [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]. To my ear, [name_m]Henry[/name_m] doesn’t work quite as well and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] makes me think of the author. Good luck with your decision!
