Our baby boy is here, and still nameless! We have 2 boys already, [name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_m]Colin[/name_m].
We are deciding between
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m],
what do you think?
Congratulations!
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] are obviously similar, but [name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] overlap slightly too.
I think [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] flow and match better as a set but I personally like [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] a little more than [name_m]Miles[/name_m] because I find people swallow the name and [name_m]Milo[/name_m] is too cute for me. But it is cooler than [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] while [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] is more sturdy and handsome.
Hard choice but at least you can’t go wrong! I personally think it’s best to pick the name you like best over the perfect sibset. That might mean you pick [name_m]Miles[/name_m] or [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], not to sway you there, but just as a reminder that for most our lives we rarely introduce ourselves with our siblings’ names!
I think [name_m]Miles[/name_m] fits better with his siblings
Thank you! I appreciate your advice, you made some really good points! Why is this so hard?
I prefer the name [name_m]Miles[/name_m]. It’s really handsome! [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] feels dated to me since I grew up with a bunch.
I would choose [name_m]Miles[/name_m]. I like it more in the sibset and individually. They might not introduce themselves together often, but you will probably introduce them together/ say their names together all the time. “My sons, [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Colin[/name_m], and [name_m]Miles[/name_m]/[name_u]Ryan[/name_u].”
Congratulations! I prefer [name_m]Miles[/name_m] as well for similar reason as pp have mentioned. [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] feels too similar to me, while [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] seems more unexpected.
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]! I know way too many Ryans. And I think [name_m]Miles[/name_m] goes better with your other kids names.
[name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Colin[/name_m] & [name_m]Miles[/name_m] are awesome together. [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] just doesn’t fit with the brothers. I always thought of [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] as a not-so-masculine name (though I don’t think it’s appropriate for a girl.)
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]!
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u] feels dated to me and I think its sound is a bit too close to [name_u]Owen[/name_u]'s.
Thanks again for all the advice!! We decided on [name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]! [name_m]Just[/name_m] need to stop calling him [name_m]Colin[/name_m] by accident!
