________ Simon?

I’m looking for suggestions for a first name with the middle name [name_m]Simon[/name_m], which is my husband’s name. Must work with big brother [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. Honestly, I really wanted to do [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m] with my first, but my husband didn’t like it (go figure!). He’s come around and said we could use [name_m]Simon[/name_m] as a middle for our 2nd son if we have another boy (we don’t want a [name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_m]Jr[/name_m], as much as I love the name [name_m]Simon[/name_m], I think children should have their own names). Problem is, my favorite boy names are [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Simon[/name_m] doesn’t work with those! I’m just having trouble coming up with anything I like with [name_m]Simon[/name_m] as much as I did [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. Ideally I would like another 3-syllable first name to pair with [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. Ideas??

[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] and…

[name_m]Alastair[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Casimir[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Isidore[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Leander[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Percival[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]

Are the combos in your signature set? I really like the idea of [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m] or [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Simon[/name_m] could work.

You’ve received some wonderful names from the pp’s. I don’t think you have to limit the first name to three-syllables. [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m] was the first name that popped into my head. I also like [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] and [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m].

Thank you, everyone! So many great suggestions!

I think [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_m]Simon[/name_m] is my favorite, and is a combo I have loved for a while, but DH isn’t much of an [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] fan…maybe he will come around though; after all it’s all hypothetical right now :slight_smile:

I do like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Simon[/name_m] – and DH loves [name_u]August[/name_u] – so that might be “it!” I’ve just been hung up on the flow, but southern.maple, I’m glad to hear you think it works!

A few of these names I love but can’t use: [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is my mom’s maiden name/grandma’s last name, but my niece on my husband’s side is [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] and goes by [name_u]Alex[/name_u]. I adore [name_u]Everett[/name_u] so much, but my cousin already used it for her son. DH vetoed [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (says [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m] is too chipmunk).

@mischa, I love [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]! DH thought I was kidding when I suggested it though, so it will likely remain a GP name. I do like [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] but I have a bad personal association with the name.

@southern.maple, I also love [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] are too matchy as brothers?

I also love [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] – concern with [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is that my last name starts with K, and with [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], that it’s too matchy with [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], which I’d like to be able to use for a daughter.

The first combo that popped into my mind is [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m], followed by [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like either of those? or how about
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
From the previously suggested combos my favorite is [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m], I don’t find it too matchy with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] at all. I know a family with a [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and a [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and another with a [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and a [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], it works just fine and the other sons in these families have names that don’t end in -l so it’s not like you have to keep the “Theme”.

Thanks for your input! I like [name_m]Abraham[/name_m] a lot, but not with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] ([name_m]Gabe[/name_m] and [name_m]Abe[/name_m]). I also like [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m], but it’s an ex-boyfriend’s name. I love [name_m]George[/name_m]! I’ll think about [name_m]Evander[/name_m]…it seems to get a good amount of love on Nameberry; I just can’t decide if I’m on board or not. Thanks for your thoughts regarding [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] together!
