We’re team green, and took over a week to name our son [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]. I’m stumped on another boy name. The only one I like in my hormonal daze is [name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augusten[/name_m]. I’d like to have more than one. Last time we had 5 with a top two at the end.
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Augustin/name_m with [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]. I think they are the perfect sibset.
Awhile back I saw someone on the forums with sons named [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] and [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] (called [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] - he might have had a formal first name and [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] as his middle name, I don’t remember).
Some other names that may fit well-
[name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] (called [name_m]Wolf[/name_m]?)
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m]
McAllister/Macalester ([name_m]Mac[/name_m]/[name_u]Cal[/name_u])
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] (called [name_m]Penn[/name_m])
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Casimir[/name_m] ([name_m]Cas[/name_m])
[name_m]Rainier[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucien[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
I like [name_m]Silas[/name_m] as a first name as well! I hope I could help. Good luck from one team green mom to another!
You have a nice list and I really like [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m]. They are strong names to stand up with [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]. More suggestions you may like…
With [name_m]Silas[/name_m] as a middle, I would cross off [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_m]Otis[/name_m], and [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. I would also cross off [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] with possible middle [name_m]Finlo[/name_m]. Out of preference I would get rid of [name_m]Torin[/name_m] and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. So that leaves
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Ivo[/name_m]
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] – probably my favorite
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Finlo[/name_m]
[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] – a lot of S’s, but I do like it
I prefer [name_u]August[/name_u] over [name_m]Augusten[/name_m].
For different reasons we can’t use [name_m]Silas[/name_m] as a first, [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Phineas[/name_m], [name_m]Thayer[/name_m], [name_m]MacAllister[/name_m], [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m], Matthais, [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m], [name_m]Lucien[/name_m], [name_m]Graham[/name_m] or [name_m]Oscar[/name_m].
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] is kind of perfection. Although we’d use my maiden name as a second middle to connect the kids.
I love [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], husband says no way.
[name_m]New[/name_m] Questions:
I also like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]-- could the nn be Caz?
Is [name_u]Everett[/name_u] too close to [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]?
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]-- too rough a third syllable? It’s usable? (Pold isn’t a beautiful sound on it’s own either.)
[name_f]Glad[/name_f] you like it! I do think [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]/Caz is fine. I don’t like [name_u]Everett[/name_u] and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] together. [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] is still my favorite and I do think it is completely usable.
My favorite firsts with [name_m]Leopold[/name_m]: [name_m]Augustin[/name_m]/[name_m]Augustus[/name_m], [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m], [name_m]Maxim[/name_m]/[name_m]Maximus[/name_m]/[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
My favorite middles with [name_m]Jack[/name_m]: [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Harris[/name_m], [name_m]Harry[/name_m], [name_m]Hugh[/name_m], [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
@esita Aww! Thanks! I think sometimes I’m way too out there with my names. They resemble “guilty pleasure names,” but are the only ones I like! Thanks for the validation.
@apollonia- Thank you! We are for sure going with a double middle ( 2nd being my maiden name) and 1st middle being an honor name. [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_m]Wolf[/name_m], and [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] are all options on the table. I love all the [name_u]Max[/name_u] names, husband, not so much
I’ll present [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] (this is close to my mom’s name) and [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] to him and see what he thinks.
It feels like most names are taken at this stage, or too close or…but more suggestions of anything I might be missing are always welcome!
