My husband and I are struggling to pick a name for our 2nd son who is due in 3 short months. I’d like to use [name_u]Michael[/name_u] as the middle name. Our 1st son is named [name_m]Justin[/name_m]. The only name we both kind of like.is [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. Any thoughts on that one? Any name ideas for us? We don’t want anything weird or too popular which is making it hard. I love the name [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] and would probably use that one but I HATE how it has become so gender neutral. Help!
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m] is another classic name that’s disappearing, for whatever reason, and I think it’s due for a revival. I also like [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] too… there aren’t as many Toms out there as there once were! It’s simple, classic, sturdy.
Instead of [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], you could maybe use a variation: [name_u]Rylan[/name_u], [name_m]Ryland[/name_m], Ryerson.
I think [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is a nice choice with [name_u]Michael[/name_u]. A few other names I could see with [name_m]Justin[/name_m]…
[name_m]Trevor[/name_m]
[name_m]Travis[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m]
Good luck!
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is so boring, imo. [name_m]Tomos[/name_m] would be a little better imo.
If you like [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], maybe you could stretch to [name_m]Ryder[/name_m] or [name_m]Ryker[/name_m]? What about [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]?
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] for the brother of [name_m]Justin[/name_m] is fine.
I think [name_m]Ryland[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] is cute! I also really like [name_m]Roland[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u].
I think [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is wonderful. It was SO popular once that people began avoiding it, and now its popularity has dropped so much that some people are rediscovering it. But since you want other suggestions, (and you and hubby don’t seem to be thrilled with [name_m]Thomas[/name_m],) I’d love to help you look at other options.
When you say you don’t like “too popular,” do you mean “traditional popular,” like [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], and [name_m]John[/name_m], or “modern popular,” like what’s in the top 100 right now, like [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], and [name_m]Holden[/name_m]? (I’m guessing they’re in the top 100 as of right now).
Since you like [name_m]Justin[/name_m], want [name_u]Michael[/name_u] for a middle name, and are considering [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], I think you like recent American favorites (70s-90s). Nothing too formal like [name_m]Reginald[/name_m], nothing too recent and formerly-obscure like [name_m]Braden[/name_m].
