I have picked two boys names and wanted your opinion on them or suggestions!
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]- [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is a family name and would love the nn [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]. [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is also a family name.
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]- Honoring my two brothers. One was born in [name_u]August[/name_u] and the other in [name_u]July[/name_u]. Is it too calendar-y? Nn would be Auggie or [name_u]Gus[/name_u].
Top girls name at the moment is [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is a sturdy, classic and has an understated charm.
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is handsome. Surprisingly, I didn’t think of the months until you pointed it out. I feel like [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is far enough removed from [name_u]July[/name_u] that it wouldn’t be an issue, especially as a middle name. If you had two sons named [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m], however, that would raise some eyebrows.
With [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], I feel like [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is the better pick. [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] just don’t work together for me.
All sturdy and classic names. I personally like [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] but it is just so, so popular here I couldn’t use it myself. I adore [name_u]Gus[/name_u] and always have. So I vote [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]!
I love them both and the nicknames together are adorable! I might even switch them up to [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m].
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is lovely! I didn’t think of the month thing at all.
I think [name_m]Charles[/name_m] is so common that it seems a bit too safe next to [name_f]Martha[/name_f], which is unexpected nowadays. [name_u]August[/name_u] is a bit more unique and has that hipster-vintage vibe that [name_f]Martha[/name_f] does. Plus Auggie is so cute! And [name_u]Gus[/name_u] is handsome as well.
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is fantastic! [name_u]Love[/name_u] the summery and cool vibe it has! Both serious and earthy but also chilled and cute
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] has a regal feel but I’ve met so many Charlies that it’s lost it’s charm a bit -equally, I’m not a fan of 2 direct honour names
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is nice, but I like the flow of [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] slightly more. Not to mention, [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] is a big more interesting next to [name_f]Martha[/name_f]. [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] seems a little plain these days.
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is great! I don’t immediately think of [name_u]July[/name_u] when I hear [name_m]Julian[/name_m] so I think it’s a safe and clever way to honor both brothers. I love both Auggie and [name_u]Gus[/name_u] but really loving [name_u]Gus[/name_u] with [name_f]Martha[/name_f].
Thank you for your insights and suggestions! I also think [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] has a better flow. [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] is cute and a bit more unique like you said with [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_u]August[/name_u]. Funny thing is, if I was a boy, my name would have been [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]!
