I never really liked the name [name_m]Russell[/name_m] but its kind of growing on me. Everyone in our family has middle names beginning with R. This is purely coincidental. If i have a girl next I’ll most likely break this pattern. But it got me thinking what other R names I even like (not many - I like [name_u]Remy[/name_u] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u] okay but don’t love them). [name_m]Russell[/name_m] seems like such an autumn name like the word “rustle” which gives it some appeal. It might sound too dated though?
Also what first names go with [name_m]Russell[/name_m]?
On my list I have:
Marshall- doesn’t work
Teagan [name_m]Russell[/name_m]- maybe? Dont love it
Tavian [name_m]Russell[/name_m]- I do kinda like this
Leonardo [name_m]Russell[/name_m]- this could work but im naming son to be born in [name_u]December[/name_u] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] and I know some say [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is a nn for [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] so not sure if [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] would still be usable
Lionell [name_m]Russell[/name_m]- doesn’t work
Grant [name_m]Russell[/name_m]- sounds too surnamey with [name_m]Grant[/name_m]
This is a question mark!

I’ve never been a fan of [name_m]Russel[/name_m] as a first name, but I think it’s a name with a lot of character and could therefore bring a lot of personality to a name.
I agree that [name_m]Tavian[/name_m] [name_m]Russel[/name_m] sounds quite handsome! I also think that you could use both [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] and [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] in a sibset. [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m] [name_m]Russel[/name_m] is also very pleasant to the ear, but [name_m]Tavian[/name_m] [name_m]Russel[/name_m] is my favourite.

Tavian [name_m]Russell[/name_m] is a gorgeous name.
I too fell in love with [name_m]Russell[/name_m] and we named our unborn son [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Russell[/name_m].
There’s an [name_u]Anne[/name_u] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables connection, plus as you say, [name_m]Russell[/name_m] suggests the breezes rustling the leaves.
I wouldn’t choose it as a first b/c of my antipathy to [name_m]Russ[/name_m], but I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_m]Rusty[/name_m], which sounds like one of Beaver [name_m]Cleaver[/name_m]’s school chums.
