Struggling with name DS #2

When DH and I were searching for a name for DS1 I came here and got some wonderful suggestions. I ended up using [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], which someone here mentioned and which I would never have thought of on my own. I love his name!

So I’m back for DS #2 because I can’t think of a thing. I’ve been pouring over all kinds of names and nothing is jumping out at me.

Some absolute must haves are:
2 syllables that cannot be shortened to a 1 syllable nickname
Would prefer another A name or an E name
Something fairly different like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]

The only two names that are appealing right now are [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] and [name_u]Asa[/name_u] but DH doesn’t seem keen on either one.

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]

[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_m]Alec[/name_m]
[name_m]Adam[/name_m]

[name_m]Ian[/name_m]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]

I love [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Ansel[/name_m]! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] he will come around.
[name_m]Abram[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_m]Aleph[/name_m]
[name_u]Abbott[/name_u]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]

DH is more open to [name_m]Amos[/name_m] than [name_m]Ansel[/name_m]. Would kids call him anus? [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], to me, seems pretty bullet proof as far as names go.

DH has now thrown out [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]. [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]? Does that sound weird? He also said he likes [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. I wasn’t sure how [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] + an O name sounds? Too O-ish?

I think [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] are a bit rhymey. [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] work better.
I really like the name [name_m]Amos[/name_m] but have wondered about the “anus” connection before…seems iffy to me.

I tried not to repeat others that have been listed, though I really like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] in particular. [name_m]How[/name_m] about…

[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m]
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_m]Cohen[/name_m] / [name_m]Coen[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Austin[/name_m]
[name_u]Alden[/name_u]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f]
[name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_u]Alek[/name_u]

[name_m]Angus[/name_m]
[name_m]Anton[/name_m]
[name_m]Aston[/name_m]
[name_m]Alan[/name_m]
[name_m]Alvin[/name_m]

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_u]Easton[/name_u]
[name_m]Ephraim[/name_m]
[name_m]Eric[/name_m]
[name_m]Enoch[/name_m]
[name_m]Ewan[/name_m]
[name_m]Eion[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_m]Elton[/name_m]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmond[/name_m]
[name_m]Earl[/name_m]
Erol
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]

[name_m]Ivan[/name_m]
[name_m]Oren[/name_m]
[name_m]Odin[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]

I agree [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] make a great pair, as well as many others.

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] is wonderful!!!

I’ve known one [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]. His brothers were [name_u]Remy[/name_u] and [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] either appeal?

So unusual but traditional and DH friendly - love a good challenge - apologies in advance if any of these are not on the mark…
[name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m]
[name_m]Crispin[/name_m]
[name_m]Jolyon[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m]

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Euan[/name_m]/[name_m]Ewan[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Anders[/name_m]

I like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] so much. They were both top contenders for me last time around. I think they go well together. I like [name_m]Amos[/name_m] a lot as well. I would like to think anus wouldn’t be problematic but it’s hard to tell with kids what they’ll tease about. :-\

I think [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] are good together!

I really like the previous suggestion of: [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]

Maybe…
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Davis[/name_m]

I really like [name_m]Ansel[/name_m].

Suggestions:
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Axton[/name_m]

[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]

I like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] together, but I really love [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] go together so well in my mind!

From the suggestions [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Abott[/name_m], or [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] sound good to me. I also think [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] sounds nice with [name_u]Arlo[/name_u].

My suggestions are [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Ivan[/name_m], or [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Alben[/name_m].

I’m not sure how old your first son is, but I know a little girl who was about 2 yrs and would pronounce her great uncle [name_m]Ansel[/name_m]'s name as A$$hole. It was funny, but she also wasn’t around him everyday. [name_m]Just[/name_m] something to think about.

I love [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]!

I also like [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_u]Auden[/name_u] or [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Anson[/name_m].
