Have a 2.5yo son named [name_m]Eero[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and recently found out we are expecting #2 in [name_u]July[/name_u]! So, obviously don’t know sex yet. I’m really starting to think it will be another boy and mildly panicking, though. [name_m]Eero[/name_m], while it was my first thought when we found out #1 was a boy (I could name 1,000 girls), was definitely not won easily. My husband is an architect (and the 1st place I heard the name [name_m]Eero[/name_m] was while he was in grad school) and it still took HIM until 1 week before our son’s due date to decide he wanted to ‘go for it’. If it is another boy, I want to be armed and ready with solid name choices that also work with [name_m]Eero[/name_m] (pronounced arrow and is Finnish, btw). I have a few but I’m worried half of them are too…theme-y, like we eat, drink, sleep architecture. (We don’t.)
The first 2 on the list are nods to other architects. [name_m]Nils[/name_m] (pronounced neels) is Norwegian, so it has that Scandinavian feel of [name_m]Eero[/name_m]. And I just can’t get over the sound of [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] even though I KNOW it is super popular. I’m Irish but we call [name_m]Eero[/name_m] ‘[name_f]Ro[/name_f]’ sometimes so they would both have ‘[name_f]Ro[/name_f]’ in common? Not sure if I love that or not.
Need opinions:
[name_m]Eames[/name_m]
[name_m]Mies[/name_m] (pronounced mees)
[name_m]Nils[/name_m] (new-ish discovery - might wear off but I love it right now)
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
Thanks so much for your responses, guys! [name_m]Eames[/name_m] was definitely the first thought and [name_m]Mies[/name_m] is pretty cute too. I kind of like [name_m]Iver[/name_m] but my husband does not. I’ve never heard Lir before - what a cool name! Great suggestions, fingers crossed it’s a girl because then I won’t be sweating it out until the end! Haha
[name_m]Eero[/name_m] and [name_m]Eames[/name_m] - Too matchy for me but it works.
[name_m]Eero[/name_m] and [name_m]Mies[/name_m] - Really like this one.
[name_m]Eero[/name_m] and [name_m]Nils[/name_m] - Same as [name_m]Mies[/name_m]
[name_m]Eero[/name_m] and [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] - My favorite. I don’t think it’s that popular.

I love [name_m]Eero[/name_m] and [name_m]Nils[/name_m] together. If you call [name_m]Eero[/name_m] “[name_f]Ro[/name_f]” I think that [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] would be too close.
OMG, @mcarolina [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is AMAZING with [name_m]Eero[/name_m]!! I never would have considered it but it is genius and sounds sooo good! I agree [name_m]Eames[/name_m] is too match with [name_m]Eero[/name_m]. Some really clever combos, thanks so much!
