[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! First time poster here! I’m due with my second baby, another boy, in [name_u]February[/name_u]. I have a 7 year old son named [name_m]Shepard[/name_m] and I’ve been finding it challenging to find a sibling name that has the same feel to it. I find boy names hard to begin with so our list is pretty small. [name_u]Holden[/name_u] is our top choice right now and I was mostly wanting some opinions on how people think the names go together, thoughts on the name in general, etc. I’m also open to other ideas. I like names that are heard of but not super common. Thank you!

shepard & holden is so sweet!
i’ve love shepard & wilder for ages, and it has sort of the same vibe as holden imo, literary and laidback.
