Rufus, Beau, or Graham for Baby #3

We are expecting our 3rd child this [name_u]November[/name_u]. We have 2 daughters [name_f]Lilla[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. We have [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] picked for another girl and are now putting our attention towards figuring out a boy name.

[name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m] Cook - DH favorite
I like that this starts with and R like DH name, both of his grandfather’s names also started with R so this is kind of fun.
I worry that this is more GP than real life, I love the idea of [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] as brothers if we were to have 2 boys. DH says he’s brave enough for the both of us.
**[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] is not in the running for this baby

[name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] Cook - My favorite
This is a new addition. I have always loved [name_m]Beau[/name_m]. [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] has been a GP for me but I feel like it works perfectly in the middle. DH name is one syllable so it doesn’t bother us that [name_m]Beau[/name_m] and Cook are both short. I love how southern this combo feels.

[name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Cook - DH second pick
Solid name, very classic.

[name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] Cook - My second pick
I like that this name shares the first 2 initials with my dad, GE. [name_m]Graham[/name_m] also has that southern feel.

We both like all these names it’s more of an issue of which one to actually use. Thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Thanks!

I think [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m] Cook gives you the best of both worlds. It includes two names that you both really love. I think [name_f]Lilla[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], and [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] make for an awesome pairing! My second favorite is [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Cook. I think you have an amazing selection of names, so whatever you go for, it’ll be great!

I also really like [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]. I don’t think it should be seen as a GP name…you might also like Rufio or [name_m]Rufino[/name_m]. But I love [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]!

DH is definitely going to be happy about the [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] support.

I love [name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] the most:) but all of your names are good so you can’t go wrong with any of them!

!.) [name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
2.) [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
3.) [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]

I love [name_m]Rufus[/name_m], but as others have said you can’t go wrong.

More love for [name_m]Rufus[/name_m]! I like how graham grounds the combo

Personally I think of [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] as kind of silly sounding, not aging well, and a pet’s name.

[name_m]Beau[/name_m] is nice but always seems too short and a little pretentious to me (growing up in the north east it seems very WASP-y).

[name_m]Graham[/name_m] would definitely be my top pick, handsome and charming and ages well!

[name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Cook is my favorite, but I like the shared initials from [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]. [name_m]Graham[/name_m] is my favorite first name of your choices by far. [name_m]Beau[/name_m] and [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] are not my style at all. Seems like [name_m]Graham[/name_m] is a good compromise as well since it’s the second choice for both of you.

I really love [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m] Cook & [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Cook. Both are very handsome names, familiar without being overused. I especially love [name_m]Graham[/name_m] because of the wonderfully adorable nickname [name_m]Graham[/name_m] Cracker! So cute!

I love love love [name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. I like all your other choices as well, but [name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] really stands out to me. Second to that I like [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] is a refreshing choice, it’s a bit more grounded than [name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], but has its own spunk to it.

I really like [name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] with your daughters’ names!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Beau[/name_m] and [name_m]Graham[/name_m]. I’ve always seen [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] as dorky and goofy, I have a hard time picturing it on someone. Sorry, I don’t mean to be harsh, just wanted to give my honest opinion.

I don’t know whether you’re interested in other suggestions but I really love the sound of [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] Cook! But of the combos you already have I like [name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] the most.

All the names a pretty good though, you really cant go wrong here!

Team [name_m]Rufus[/name_m]!!!

I love [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]/[name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] with your sibset. They both just sounds so crisp and grounded but still not overused

Thanks berries for all the support. DH is over the moon for all the #teamrufus. I still love [name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] and [name_m]Graham[/name_m] is just such a solidly good choice.

[name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] or [name_m]Graham[/name_m] [name_u]Elliot[/name_u].

your favorite is the only option I would use
