Talk me into these names.

[manicmama]

Or out of them, depending on your opinion.
I just feel like I’ve been looking and looking so much I might have crossed of a really great option just because of name fatigue. I’d also appreciate any ideas. I’ve read every single blog on the website and every single list. I’m not kidding. I need help.
Last name sounds like Manor.

Leo- I love, but I just had a not so pleasant accquaintance name her son Leo, so now I have a bad taste in my mouth.

Alec- So stylish and smooth, but it feels awkward when I say it.

Smith, Jones, or Davis- I love the nuveau surname names, but I’m not sure their right for a baby.

Amias- Love, but is it too effeminate?

Hawkins- Great Treasure Island reference, and we love the nn Hawk. But does it sound like hawking a luggie?

Falcon- Balloon boy?

Edison- Too trendy sounding?

Walter- My #1 pick before meeting my husband, but I don’t like the double r endings with Walter Manor.

Gus- Our current #1, but we cannot chose a middle name. The more difficult it becomes, the more we’re doubting our choice.

Basically, if you could salesman me in or out of any of these I would love it. Just please don’t be mean. I’m already a hormonal wreck.

Thank you so much for any help!

I love the name [name]Gus[/name], we were thinking about it with our 3rd, but it was a girl so her middle name is [name]Auguste[/name], after a great grandmother. Anyway, have you considered [name]Gus[/name] Hawkins?? I think that sounds very nice, unique, but not too far out there, and [name]Gus[/name] leans more classy and traditional.
The other name I love from the names you mentioned is [name]Davis[/name]. Good luck! and blessings to you and your baby

[saramee]

If [name]Gus[/name] is your number one name you should go for it. Middle name suggestions

[name]Gus[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] Manor
[name]Gus[/name] [name]Mitchell[/name] Manor
[name]Gus[/name] Your-Maiden- Name Manor
[name]Gus[/name] [name]Martin[/name] Manor
[name]Gus[/name] [name]Edison[/name] Manor
[name]Gus[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] Manor
[name]Gus[/name] [name]Davis[/name] Manor

I think all these names sound stylish and are quite handsome without being too gimmicky. Good luck!

[boyandgirl]

[name]Gus[/name] and [name]Walter[/name] are wonderful names. I don’t think [name]Walter[/name] Manor sounds bad or awkward. I love both, but [name]Walter[/name] is a fav for me.

[katybug]

I like [name]Gus[/name] [name]Edison[/name]! [name]Edison[/name] is a favorite of mine, and it goes really well with [name]Gus[/name] and with your last name.

I think the issue with [name]Gus[/name] is that it’s short and ends in an s, so it tends to run into the middle name. It’s just part of what comes with the name. [name]Don[/name]'t worry too much about it, pick a middle name you love and go for it!

[teacherma]

[name]Leo[/name], [name]Gus[/name], and [name]Walter[/name] are the best of the bunch.

[dillonsfan01]

[name]Leo[/name]- I love [name]Leo[/name], I don’t think it matters if someone you don’t like named their son this, if it was your best friend that would be a different story…

[name]Alec[/name]- All I think when I hear this is Smart [name]Alec[/name]

[name]Smith[/name], [name]Jones[/name], or [name]Davis[/name]- I actually like [name]Smith[/name] but I might be hard to pull off. [name]Jones[/name] Manor sounds really great [name]Davis[/name] is too much like [name]David[/name] it would always get mistaken for [name]David[/name]

[name]Amias[/name]- NMS, a little too much

Hawkins- hawking was the first thing that can to mind for me, sorry

[name]Falcon[/name]- [name]Bird[/name] not a baby

[name]Edison[/name]- I don’t think its too trendy, I run a Pre-K and have never met one

[name]Walter[/name]- I love [name]Walter[/name], maybe you could call him [name]Walt[/name] to avoid the double r

[name]Gus[/name]- No offense but I really don’t like this one, I cannot think of a name that would go well with it

Good [name]Luck[/name]

[auroradawn]

I like [name]Leo[/name], but it’s too trendy for my taste.

[name]Alec[/name] is my favorite nickname for [name]Alexander[/name]; I think it sounds sophisticated and a bit British. I suppose “smart-alec” is a concern.

As long as your last name really isn’t Manor, I think [name]Smith[/name], [name]Jones[/name] or [name]Davis[/name] would work–especially [name]Smith[/name]. It’s such a common last name that maybe it’s ready to be revitalized as a first name. If it was Manor, I’d have to smile at the image of a grand English estate–[name]Smith[/name] Manor.

I hadn’t heard [name]Amias[/name], so I looked it up on here. If you’re pronouncing it uh-MY-uss, I don’t think it sounds feminine–[name]Silas[/name], [name]Tobias[/name], [name]Elias[/name], etc. I think you’d have to be constantly spelling it for people.

I kinda like Hawkins, especially the nickname [name]Hawk[/name]. Have you considered the variation Hawkin? That makes it sound more like a first name than a surname.

I do think [name]Falcon[/name] is a bit much.

I like [name]Edison[/name] and [name]Walter[/name].

Sorry, I’ve never really cared for [name]Gus[/name]. I do like [name]August[/name], and [name]Gus[/name] would make a handy nickname. Since he won’t be born in [name]August[/name], though, perhaps [name]Augustus[/name] or [name]Augustine[/name]? But those seem a bit stuffy, and if you really like [name]Gus[/name], go for it.

[rollo]

My thoughts are:

[name]Leo[/name]- alternatives [name]Rex[/name], [name]Earl[/name], [name]Lincoln[/name], [name]Constantine[/name]

[name]Alec[/name]- I prefer [name]Alex[/name] and just love [name]Alexander[/name] I don’t think he is ever out of style, a way out suggestion is Aled but I prefer [name]Grant[/name], [name]Lachlan[/name], [name]Hunter[/name] and [name]James[/name]

[name]Smith[/name], [name]Jones[/name], or [name]Davis[/name] Ditch them all except for [name]Davis[/name] he is a keeper as is [name]Harrison[/name], [name]Jackson[/name], [name]Archer[/name], [name]Mitchell[/name], [name]Miles[/name], [name]Griffin[/name] and [name]Thomas[/name]

[name]Amias[/name]- Very out there consider [name]Able[/name], [name]Micah[/name], [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Heath[/name], [name]Jonas[/name]

Hawkins- Not that much charisma try [name]Montgomery[/name] nn [name]Monte[/name], [name]Franklin[/name], [name]Devlin[/name], [name]Devon[/name]

[name]Falcon[/name]- No to this one, instead Rove, [name]Chase[/name], [name]Chance[/name], [name]Tripp[/name], [name]Colton[/name], [name]Cole[/name]

[name]Edison[/name]- No too vintage [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Edison[/name] is my first thought, try [name]Carmichael[/name], [name]Everett[/name], [name]Mitchell[/name], [name]Jamison[/name]

[name]Walter[/name]-yes get away from the er sound. Try [name]Wilfred[/name], [name]Wills[/name], [name]Wilson[/name], [name]Gilbert[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Dashiell[/name]

[name]Gus[/name]- I do not like [name]Gus[/name] at all but if you have to have it go with [name]Angus[/name], instead the handsome [name]Alister[/name]/[name]Alistair[/name] wins hands down

[katybug]

Have you thought about using another name beginning in Haw- to get to nn [name]Hawk[/name]? I think [name]Hawthorne[/name], nn [name]Hawk[/name], would be very handsome. But like auroradawn said, only as long as his name doesn’t end up sounding like an English country estate

[water]

Amais lookks feminine, even if it’s not.

I’m a fan of [name]Davis[/name]. It’s much fresher than [name]David[/name]. Not many kids are named [name]David[/name] anymore, so I don’t know that it would really be all that confusing to people.

Hawkins is not really my style, but I do love the way it sounds and [name]Hawk[/name] as a nn is pretty awesome.

[auroradawn]

I forgot [name]Angus[/name] when I was listing names for which [name]Gus[/name] could be a nickname, but rollo mentioned it. I wonder if the reason you’re having trouble picking a middle name for [name]Gus[/name] is that it does sound like a nickname. When you put a full name after it, especially a long one or one that has one or more nicknames, it sounds a bit weird. Best of luck!

[kasmith101]

I love [name]Gus[/name] and [name]Edison[/name], and [name]Leo[/name] is great too. I was also going to suggest [name]Hawthorne[/name], nn [name]Hawk[/name] which is very handsome

What about [name]Gus[/name] [name]Hawthorne[/name]? I agree that [name]Gus[/name] [name]Edison[/name] is also a great combo!

[quinntheeskimo]

I love Hawkins nn [name]Hawk[/name], that absolutely gets my vote! I love literary names and [name]Hawk[/name] is such a great nickname for a little boy.
Hawking did not come to my mind at all, I personally don’t think he would get teased for that on the playground. [name]Even[/name] though [name]Hawthorne[/name] is a literary name as well I just love Hawkins so much more!

[funfetti]

I really dig [name]Hawk[/name] too! I think it’s really fun and not trying to hard. I know everybody loves [name]Gus[/name] these days, but all it reminds me of is [name]Gus[/name] [name]Gus[/name] the mouse from the animated [name]Cinderella[/name]. I can’t think of a longer name that [name]Hawk[/name] could be a nickname for, but maybe you could just use it as the official first name and then give him a more traditional middle like [name]James[/name]??

[name]Just[/name] try to relax. You’ll know you’ve found the name eventually even though the hormones try to convince you that you won’t. You have lots of cute ideas.

[goodkarmavt]

Have you considered [name]Leander[/name] nn [name]Leo[/name]? I love [name]Gus[/name] but as a nn with name [name]August[/name]. [name]Hawthorne[/name] is a big name but has a nice ring to it and [name]Everett[/name] or [name]Emmett[/name] might be names you might consider too.

[bostonlover]

[name]Love[/name] [name]August[/name], nn [name]Gus[/name]. Have you considered [name]August[/name] [name]Leo[/name] or [name]August[/name] Hawkins? I really like [name]August[/name] [name]Leo[/name] Manor, nn [name]Gus[/name]. Adorable nn but very sophisticated-sounding full name. Also he could go by [name]Leo[/name] at some point if you choose!
