I’ve been worrying about this little guy’s name for 10 weeks now and we’re no closer to having a front runner. So far I’ve only put names on our list that haven’t been used by our family/friends, but now I’m hoping to try a different approach with your help. The following is a list of my fav boy names that are unusable for one reason or another. Any chance you can look at these and recommend some that are similiar that might go well with his sister’s name ([name_u]Harmony[/name_u]) and our last name ([name_m]Langston[/name_m])? [name_f]TIA[/name_f]!
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m] (taken)
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] (too popular)
[name_m]Bryant[/name_m] (too similiar to the plethora of Brians in our family)
[name_m]Clark[/name_m] (taken)
[name_m]Cole[/name_m] (taken and blends into last name too much)
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] (taken)
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] (taken)
[name_m]Greyson[/name_m] (too popular)
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] (too popular)
[name_m]Jackson[/name_m] (too popular)
[name_m]Justin[/name_m] (taken)
[name_m]Mitchell[/name_m] (taken)
[name_u]Skyler[/name_u] (taken)
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] (taken)
[name_u]Tyler[/name_u] (taken)
I’m still circling around the name [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] as it came to me after asking for a “sign” but there is just something about it that hasn’t excited me so far. It fits almost all of my criteria (wish it hadn’t gotten so popular in the 90s though) and it has so much potential for great nicknames so I’m still hoping to grow to love it. I’m realizing lately that the names that I’ve added to my list to are a bit 1) trendy and 2) hated by my husband hehe With our daughter I managed to find a unique name that wasn’t too “out there” and I was hoping to do the same this time around, but it doesn’t appear that boys names offer quite as many options.
I’ve mostly listed names with similar stlye and sounds to the ones that are off limits for you. Maybe something similar will appeal/be more usable.
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m] -[name_m]Anderson[/name_m], [name_m]Anders[/name_m], [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], [name_m]Randall[/name_m]. I love [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] with [name_u]Harmony[/name_u], but it doesn’t sound the best with your last name.
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] -[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_f]Bennington[/name_f], [name_u]Bentley[/name_u], [name_m]Jamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Bryant[/name_m] -[name_u]Rylan[/name_u]
[name_m]Clark[/name_m]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m] -[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m], [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] -[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Greyson[/name_m] -[name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] -[name_m]Henrik[/name_m], [name_m]Hendrix[/name_m], both are super cool and make stunning brothers to [name_u]Harmony[/name_u]!
[name_m]Jackson[/name_m] -[name_m]Jax[/name_m], [name_u]Paxton[/name_u], [name_m]Maxen[/name_m]. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t all flow the best with your last name…
[name_m]Justin[/name_m] -[name_m]Augustin[/name_m], [name_u]Ashton[/name_u], [name_u]Dayton[/name_u], [name_m]Carston[/name_m], [name_m]Quentin[/name_m], [name_m]Trenton[/name_m], [name_u]Tristan[/name_u], [name_m]Preston[/name_m], [name_m]Weston[/name_m]. Alot of these, again, don’t sound the best with your last name, but some are doable.
[name_m]Mitchell[/name_m] -[name_m]Russell[/name_m], [name_m]Terrell[/name_m], [name_m]Tyrell[/name_m], [name_m]Cael[/name_m], [name_m]Abel[/name_m], [name_u]Lionel[/name_u], [name_u]Noel[/name_u], [name_m]Adriel[/name_m]. I love, love [name_m]Adriel[/name_m] with [name_u]Harmony[/name_u]!
[name_u]Skyler[/name_u] -[name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Kyle[/name_u]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] -[name_u]Mercer[/name_u]
[name_u]Tyler[/name_u]
All the best finding a name! I love [name_u]Harmony[/name_u], such a beautiful name, so I’m excited to see what you’ll name her brother :).
I am in the same boat as you!! We are due [name_u]June[/name_u] 1st with our little guy and just can’t seem to agree on a name to go with his sister [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]!
I like the names [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] and [name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
I was watching a documentary on HBO and saw a girl’s basketball team from [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] high school. [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] struck me as a possible name, it sounded feminine, easy to pronounce/spell, and since my husband and I both really enjoy music it seemed like a nice fit. Neither of us disliked the name but we wanted to keep our options open so we didn’t official declare it “the one”.
Fast forward a few weeks, I’m in the operating room about to be put under for an emergency C section at 30w4d and right before I fall asleep, I look up and see “[name_u]Harmony[/name_u]” imprinted on the surgical light. Afterwards I had to research medical companies that sell such lighting because it seemed like an impossible coincidence that I would literally see the name [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] in the light right before she was born. Sure enough, there are a whole line of [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] products used by hospitals across the country so we went with our “sign” hehe
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u] is now a vivacious 2 year old and so music oriented. She knows/sings a plethora of nursery rhymes (most of which are recognizable hehe), makes up her own songs, sits down at her little pink piano and plays while she sings, and makes her dad and I perform in a family band that she directs hehe I don’t know if her name made her musical or if we just guessed really well, but I don’t think a different name would have fit her so well.
I guess I’m feeling extra pressure because her name has such a cool back story and is so perfect for her and I hate for this little guy to get saddled with a ho-hum name that mommy and daddy settled for.

I’ll try to keep this long story short of how [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] got her name hehe…
