I have a mile-long list of girls’ names, but am having trouble coming up with boys’ names that go well with our last name: Hatch. It’s just so abrupt.
Names that immediately come to mind are things like [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], or [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], but those combinations sound so average and, frankly, a bit boring. But maybe in this case, simple is best.
I am not a fan of names like [name_u]Aiden[/name_u], [name_u]Hudson[/name_u], [name_m]Lawson[/name_m], etc.
I prefer longer names (i.e. [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m], [name_u]Laurence[/name_u], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m]), but would these be too much of a mouthful for a little one?
I also had a friend recently name her son [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] nn. [name_u]Cal[/name_u] and I just love it. Too bad it’s already been used.
I like the idea of using [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] as a middle.
So, what would you name a child with the last name “Hatch”?
2 syllables sound best to my ear with the 1 syllable surname, here are some ideas with optional nicknames too:
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Hatch ‘Roo’
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Hatch ‘[name_u]Lee[/name_u]’
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Hatch ‘[name_m]Griff[/name_m]’
Some ideas that give me a similar vibe as the longer names but a bit shorter:
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Hatch
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Hatch - [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] Hatch might be too alliterative for you but I think it sounds great!!
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] Hatch
I realky like the suggestions of [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] & [name_u]Remy[/name_u]

I don’t think any of the long names you listed are too much of a mouthful for a little one. And if you feel that way you can always use a nickname while they are young.
I think a long name compliments a short surname quite well and I like all the ones you listed. I adore [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m]. And [name_m]Monty[/name_m] is such a sweet nickname!!
Other ideas:
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]

[name_u]Lionel[/name_u] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Raymond[/name_m] [name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
Good luck!
I think names like [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] etc are fine! They all come with nicknames plus your little one won’t be little forever. They’re great choices!!

I prefer a two syllable name with your last name although the longer names you list work fine. It is just that long names like those usually morph into a shortened nickname so if you are not a nickname person I would avoid them. Some suggestions…
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] Hatch
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] Hatch
[name_m]Benson[/name_m] Hatch
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]/[name_m]Oskar[/name_m] Hatch
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] Hatch
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] Hatch
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] Hatch
[name_m]Marcus[/name_m] Hatch
