[name]Hi[/name] all. You helped us last time and we need your help again name aficionados! We just found out we are expecting another boy. While we are thrilled, we’re having a hard time with the name. Of course, we had a girl name picked already, [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Kate[/name]. So far, this is our short list but we are open to any and all suggestions.
[name]Brooks[/name], [name]Lawson[/name], and [name]Warren[/name] are family names and one of them will probably used as a first or middle. Ocias is also a family name that DH is open to but I just can’t quite embrace it. Maybe [name]Cy[/name] though?
From your list I really like [name]Brooks[/name], followed by [name]Sawyer[/name] and [name]Grey[/name]. A nice combo would be [name]Brooks[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name]. Other ideas for you: [name]Carter[/name], [name]North[/name], [name]Carson[/name], [name]Cassidy[/name], [name]Bram[/name] / [name]Abram[/name], [name]Axel[/name], [name]Dane[/name], [name]Devon[/name], [name]Atticus[/name], [name]Alaric[/name], [name]Ellis[/name] [name]Fox[/name], [name]Quinn[/name], [name]Riley[/name], [name]Roland[/name], [name]Roman[/name], [name]Sidney[/name], [name]Tennyson[/name], [name]Weston[/name].
I’d go with [name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Grey[/name], [name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Brooks[/name], [name]Warren[/name] [name]Grey[/name], or [name]Warren[/name] [name]Brooks[/name]. I understand if you want to prioritize family significance over sound or style, but I like those combos best overall. [name]Love[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] [name]Ford[/name], by the way!
[name]Beckett[/name] [name]Ford[/name] is so modern! Very cool!
For the mn, [name]Brooks[/name] would be my pick.
I am sensing that you like surnames.
Suggestions:
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Langley[/name]
[name]Lennon[/name]
[name]Bingham[/name]
[name]Brogan[/name]
[name]Vaughn[/name]
[name]Nash[/name]
[name]Tate[/name]
[name]Cy[/name] is cool, but Ocias is way out there. If you like [name]Cy[/name], use [name]Cyrus[/name].
Thank you for your suggestions! We’ve been mulling them over and we both love [name]Brooks[/name] as the first name. Our hesitations are that we would now have two B names, but we don’t plan on having any more so I don’t think this is too much of a problem. Also, our last name ends in s ([name]Collins[/name]). Would this deter you from using the name?
Brooks Collins might pose a little bit of tongue stumbling, but I don’t think it’s a huge deterrent.
Grey is overwhelmingly my favorite of the names you listed, but two one-syllable names as first and middle bug me personally; and Sawyer was my second choice, but you run into that weird dental stop or risk “Brooksawyer,” so I can’t suggest my favorites - but I do think Brooks Lawson or Brooks Warren would be very handsome choices.
BTW, I just adore the name Beckett, and Beckett and Brooks is a very sweet sibset
[name]Beckett[/name] [name]Ford[/name] is such a handsome name. [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is also gorgeous. I personally don’t like the name [name]Brooks[/name] and I don’t really like it with [name]Beckett[/name] because they both start with B. From you list I like [name]Sawyer[/name] the best and I feel that it has the same surname styl that [name]Beckett[/name] has. Good luck wit your new baby boy arrives.
[name]Beckett[/name] [name]Ford[/name] is a great combo, very handsome. I love [name]Brooks[/name], though not a fan of it with your last name. I love [name]Wilder[/name] for you. [name]Beckett[/name] and [name]Wilder[/name] would make a fantastic sibling set.
Thanks all! We are still stuck. Sigh. Here’s the amended list.
[name]Brooks[/name] - We still like it, but don’t love it.
[name]Lawson[/name] - still a faint possibility.
[name]Landry[/name] - I love, and he’s warming up to it. I do worry about it being too feminine.
[name]Grey[/name] - Still love, and may use for a middle.
[name]Sawyer[/name] - It pairs so nicely with [name]Beckett[/name].
[name]Canyon[/name] - Family hates it, but we still like it.
[name]Warren[/name] - like it, and we’d be honoring a great man who helped raise dh.
[name]Cy[/name] - We both love it. It feels like a nickname to me, but I don’t love Ocias, [name]Cyrus[/name], or [name]Silas[/name]. Any other ideas?
[name]Bodhi[/name] - dh loves, but would want to spell it [name]Bode[/name]. I can live with that and it’s growing on me.
[name]Dean[/name] - a good middle.
[name]Jameson[/name] - [name]Bode[/name] [name]Jameson[/name]?
[name]Scout[/name] - a guilty pleasure for both of us. Too bad the girls have taken it over.
[name]Salem[/name] - I love, he doesn’t.
[name]Anson[/name] - love, but can’t use.
Shouldn’t this list be getting smaller rather than growing? I’m coming to terms with the fact that we’re not going to both fall in love with a name and just know it’s the one, but I’m still having commitment issues.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] curious what you picked? Funny enough we have a [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] and are heavily leaning toward [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] or [name_m]Brooks[/name_m]!
