Spunky but not too "out there" brother for Ace

Boy Names
1

I have posted quite a few hypotheticals the last few months, but I just officially found out we are having another boy! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband chose our son’s name, [name_m]Ace[/name_m]. He has agreed that I get final say on this one. I am struggling to find something I love. I would like something that “goes” with [name_m]Ace[/name_m] but okay if they are not too similar. I am not wild about the names that typical go with [name_m]Ace[/name_m] like [name_u]Dash[/name_u], [name_m]Nash[/name_m], [name_m]Jett[/name_m] etc. I tend to shy away from names with “X” and really love older names with spunky nn’s. Hard bill to fill? Below are a few names that pique my interest. Anything that stands out? Or other ideas?

Our last night is Albright

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m])
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_m]Ty[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]: DH hates this one
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Zeke[/name_m]

[name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_m]Zeke[/name_m] work best, I like [name_u]Finn[/name_u] too.

Could do:

[name_m]Evander[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_m]Slater[/name_m]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Zane[/name_m]
[name_m]Zander[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivan[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]

[name_m]How[/name_m] playful do you want to go? [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] are all quite nice (though I’m not a fan of [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m].) The first names that pop into my head are sassy, a touch cartoonish:

[name_m]Buster[/name_m]
[name_m]Guy[/name_m]
[name_m]Dax[/name_m]
[name_m]Clark[/name_m]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Wolf[/name_m]
[name_u]Vinny[/name_u]

What about…

[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_u]Micah[/name_u]
[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_u]Bryce[/name_u]
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u] nn [name_u]Cam[/name_u]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] nn [name_m]Mac[/name_m]
[name_u]Winslow[/name_u] nn [name_u]Win[/name_u]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_m]Flint[/name_m]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Ian[/name_m]

OP here: I am hoping not to be “too” out there this time. The problem I am running into is close friends or family have recently named their babies with my favorites ([name_u]Cam[/name_u], [name_m]Beau[/name_m], [name_m]Mac[/name_m], and [name_u]Gus[/name_u]!).

I do really enjoy [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]. What do you think about [name_m]Felix[/name_m] (nn [name_f]Flick[/name_f]?).

I love [name_u]Kit[/name_u]!

[name_m]Ace[/name_m] and [name_m]Zeke[/name_m] are awesome together!

What about [name_m]Wes[/name_m]? More traditional but similar to [name_u]Gus[/name_u].

[name_m]Abram[/name_m]/[name_m]Bram[/name_m]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Oz[/name_m] - I prefer this to [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m], but you could still use it with [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Gil[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u]
[name_m]Brant[/name_m]
[name_m]Burke[/name_m]
[name_u]Cade[/name_u]
[name_m]Jed[/name_m]
[name_u]Shane[/name_u]
[name_u]Tate[/name_u]
[name_m]Lance[/name_m]
[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m]
[name_m]York[/name_m]
[name_m]Zane[/name_m]

[name_m]Zeke[/name_m] is great!! Also love [name_u]Kit[/name_u] and [name_m]Zane[/name_m] as mentioned above.

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] could always be “official” names. But I like [name_m]Zeke[/name_m], [name_u]Kit[/name_u], and [name_m]Zane[/name_m] the way they are!

Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!
