Sibling for Lucian

Name Advice

Also posted in general [name]Baby[/name] Name forum

We are due in 2 weeks (!!), and are having a difficult time deciding on either boy or girl names. I started with a long list of possibilities, but hubby has vetoed most of them. *sigh Sibling is nearly 6 yr old [name]Lucian[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]. Last name is pronounced [name]Gore[/name]-ell.

Hubby-approved short lists (names interchangeable as first and middle) -

Boys: [name]Bram[/name], [name]Magnus[/name], [name]Ulric[/name] or [name]Aldric[/name], [name]Vladimir[/name], [name]Balthazar[/name], Dragomir, and Vladric. Iffy on [name]Roarke[/name] and [name]Ronan[/name]. I also like [name]Graeme[/name] and [name]Gideon[/name], but not with our last name. Perhaps as middle names? Our first inclination was [name]Vladimir[/name] [name]Ulric[/name], since that was our back-up for our first kiddo, but we aren’t so sure now. Hubby loves [name]Balthazar[/name] Dragomir, but I don’t know if I can do that to a little baby, lol. Although I do like [name]Baz[/name] as a NN.

Girls: Inara, Nuada or [name]Nuala[/name], [name]Artemis[/name], [name]Thisbe[/name], [name]Aurora[/name], [name]Gwendolyn[/name]. Iffy on [name]Athena[/name]/[name]Althea[/name], [name]Aurielle[/name], and [name]Zelda[/name]. We, including our son, all really like Inara [name]Gwendolyn[/name], and I kinda love the initials IGG making for a cute NN a la [name]Iggy[/name], or even a NN of [name]Gwen[/name].

I don’t think we have a style, I guess I’m just hoping we’ll hit on a name that we both just “know” is right like we did with [name]Lucian[/name]. We kept a back-up just in case we met him and our first choice didn’t fit.

Opinions and any other options are greatly appreciated!
