Super excited to be expecting baby #2! We don’t know the gender yet, but I’m too excited about names to wait. I. have. no. clue. on boy names. I have a list of ones I like, but I’m not sure they sound exactly right. So I’m looking for suggestions, as well as opinions. This is like 90% so I can take a well thought-out list to my hubby. I’ve included some names he hasn’t been opposed to as well:
These are names that my husband and I have both said we like well enough:
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_m]Edison[/name_m]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
[name_m]Orson[/name_m]
[name_u]Reign[/name_u]
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
[name_m]Roland[/name_m]
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u]
Some he likes, that I don’t particularly:
[name_m]Altair[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Cassius[/name_m]
[name_m]Dieter[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]
[name_m]King[/name_m]
[name_u]Rain[/name_u]
[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_m]Watson[/name_m]
Granted… we made this list while we were trying, and now that there’s an actual baby, he might not be as excited about some of them, haha. Now that I’m looking at it, there are some pretty big style differences… this is gonna be difficult!
From your list of agreed upon names I really like the sound of [name_m]Edison[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f], [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f], [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f].
Looking at names your husband likes but you’re unsure about, here are some suggestions that you both might find some agreement on.
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m]/[name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Langdon[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Belvedere[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_u]Holland[/name_u] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Abner[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_m]Voltaire[/name_m] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
I like [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_m]Roland[/name_m] best from your list with [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. They have a similar European and vintage vibe. [name_m]Orson[/name_m] and [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] also work. [name_m]Rhett[/name_m] I think is too close in sound to [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] feels a little too exotic. [name_m]Edison[/name_m], [name_m]Holden[/name_m], and [name_u]Reign[/name_u] too modern, and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] too casual. From [name_f]Brittany[/name_f] I like [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] a lot, as well as [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_u]Tristan[/name_u].
I love [name_f]Colette[/name_f] and [name_m]Orson[/name_m] is one of my all time favorite names. What an amazing set that would be!! A lot of other great names on your list too. Let’s see if I can come up with more to add:
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_m]Montgomery[/name_m]
Orwell
[name_m]Wilfred[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m]
Good luck and congrats!!
From your lists, my favorites are:
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] and…
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Orson[/name_m]

I would lose bc too modern w/ [name_f]Colette[/name_f]:
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Edison[/name_m]
[name_u]Reign[/name_u] or [name_u]Rain[/name_u]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]
[name_m]King[/name_m]
I would lose bc they rhyme w/ [name_f]Colette[/name_f]:
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
I would suggest:
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]
[name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
