Struggling to shorten our list

Boy Names
1

We’re currently ttc baby #2 but our list just keeps growing ! Looking for opinions on our current list….

Oldest daughter is Alivia !

Dad’s favorite is Harlan. My favorite was Harlan too until recently… having some second thoughts.

Names are in no particular order, baby will have two middle names one being Richard after my grandfather who passed away. Middle name suggestions greatly appreciated :slight_smile: Last name will be Lopez.

  1. Matteo
  2. Sullivan
  3. Harlan
  4. Boston
  5. Armani
  6. Pierce
  7. Eugene ( middle name only)
  8. Cornelius ( middle make only)
  9. Garrison
  10. Bennett
  11. Gideon
  12. Granger
  13. Nixon
  14. Lachlan
  15. Hendrix
  16. Kincaid
  17. Dawson

My favourites, in order:

Cornelius (What a pity that you won’t use it as a first name!)
Gideon
Bennett
Matteo
Sullivan / Eugene
Lachlan
Granger

Suggestion

Gideon Cornelius // Gideon Bennett Cornelius
This would go with Sybil Sophia or Sybil Sophia Josephine / Sybil Sophia Elizabeth

Lena Josephine Adele (that I suggested before) & Matteo Cornelius Eugene

I would love to use [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m] as a first but dh isn’t very fond of it sadly :frowning: it’s a push to even get him to agree to using it as a middle. It’s one of my absolute favorites though.

[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] was our number one until [name_u]Harlan[/name_u] was brought up and we’ve brought up the idea of [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] as a middle name to still use it even if we went with a different first.

[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] is a huge front runner as well!

I love love love [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] Cornelius!! :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

I think you should keep:

  1. [name_u]Harlan[/name_u]
  2. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
  3. [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
  4. [name_u]Hendrix[/name_u]
  5. [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]

I think [name_u]Hendrix[/name_u] could make for an alternative to [name_u]Harlan[/name_u], if you’re not sold on it. I like [name_m]Granger[/name_m], but I think the -r ending runs into the first letter of [name_m]Richard[/name_m]. That would be my sixth choice! Here are some other/middle name suggestions:

[name_u]Finnegan[/name_u]
[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]
[name_u]Lennon[/name_u]
[name_u]Callum[/name_u]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
[name_m]Zacharias[/name_m]
[name_m]Percival[/name_m]
[name_m]Aurelius[/name_m]
[name_m]Archibald[/name_m]
[name_u]Milo[/name_u]

[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] is my favorite from your list!

I like [name_m]Matteo[/name_m], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_u]Harlan[/name_u], [name_m]Garrison[/name_m], [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], & [name_u]Dawson[/name_u]. They all sound nice with [name_m]Richard[/name_m] as a middle. I like your idea of [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m] as a second middle.
