My husband likes this name. It goes very well with our surname. I don’t dislike it, it just isn’t hitting me. I don’t know. What do you all think? It is his gg grandfather’s name and the middle is my gg grandfather’s name also.
[name]Royal[/name] [name]August[/name].
(Or [name]Royale[/name]) not sure on spelling
Hm. Not my favorite, too much pressure. My husband wanted to name DS Strong. I said no.
I think [name]Royal[/name] is a little too much. It is a cool name, but it seems it would be hard to wear. [name]Royal[/name] would make a nice middle name though!
I agree with this. [name]August[/name] [name]Royal[/name] would be nicer.
[name]August[/name] is such a great name, but it is a virtue name–it means respected and impressive. The meaning feels too much with [name]Royal[/name]. Lot to live up to, almost comes across pretentious in combination. But it’d be neat to do those as middles for brothers–something like [name]James[/name] [name]Royal[/name] and [name]Simeon[/name] [name]August[/name].
[name]August[/name] [name]Royal[/name] is best if you use both names together, but I agree that they’re both a bit much for one little boy. I’d go w/something like [name]August[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name] and [name]Avery[/name] [name]Royal[/name].
Thank you all for these thoughts. I do like [name]August[/name] [name]Royal[/name] better - if hubby is stuck on it. I also like:
[name]Kiernan[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name] [name]August[/name]/[name]Royal[/name]
[name]Jameson[/name] [name]August[/name]/[name]Royal[/name] (I do like [name]James[/name] for short)
Maybe add [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Royal[/name] (but I’m not a big “[name]Joe[/name]” or “joey” fan)
I also like [name]Anderson[/name] (it’s a family surname for him)
This baby has a long story. He will have three older sisters. [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Anne[/name] (8) and [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Chloe[/name] [name]Lyla[/name] (twins who are 6.6) he will be our last baby.
[name]Long[/name] story short. I prayed for this baby for 6.5 years. When we had twins 18 months from our first we both were extremely depressed and had a lot of issues, but I always knew there was another baby - the very day they told us it was twins (at 20 weeks) I said “please don’t tell me we’ll never have another baby.” I had terrible PPD and PPP after my first. It was better after the twins but he was much worse. He sought out help but we trudged along and really we were a mess until the twins were about three. He was not wanting more kids -but never willing to tell me no and actually commit to his stance. So I prayed and prayed and the years went by and really I only thought we’d ever have another baby if it was an oops. I know all children are a gift and special in their own way - but this one is really different for me. The girls were all one night “hey lets throw caution to the wind” We never worked to conceive them.
So 6 later he tells me, I know you really want this, I know you believe it’s destiny or fate or “meant to be.” He was terrified of having twins again. But agreed to take a leap of faith. and there will be no more babies for us.
So it wasn’t twins (so thankful)
and then in the early spring he was on a business trip and met this woman out of the blue. She called herself a “life coach” she was a speaker and trainer hired for a hospice convention that was at the same hotel. Whatever she IS - she has some sort of gift. She proceeded to sit with him (and a co-worker who sat there with his jaw on the floor) for 2 hours one night. This sounds really weird but [name]Kyle[/name] said it was SO SPOT ON it was eerie and astonishing. My husband is extremely private and does not divulge or share information. So she told him ALL this stuff that was all true and accurate about all areas of his life, his history, his families geneology, then about his work and about he and I and the family. But it was crazy spot on. She told him it would be a boy and a whole bunch of stuff about the child. What was so weird is she had been right on all the past things. All the things between this meeting in [name]March[/name] and now [name]July[/name] have also come to pass and been accurate. So it’s sort of scary. I feel like this name means a lot after the things she has told him.
If you are still reading - thank you - so much for short lol
I just wish you could know a child’s personality before naming them
This fits a lot with what “life coach” lady told him. I call her weird Cuban psychic
It was also my great grandfathers name and I really do like it

totally agree - thanks for helping me put it into words
I think this baby needs a strong name - although with [name]Kiernan[/name] on my list - that doesn’t feel strong, but balanced with [name]August[/name] or [name]Royal[/name] it would help.
I saw [name]George[/name] in you sig. I love [name]George[/name] it was my grandfathers name. I think it’s a strong and gentle name - love it!
Oh, no. I really can’t get behind [name]Royal[/name] at all. It feels like it’s trying way too hard to be cool/upperclass. I would stick with [name]August[/name] as the first name.
I think one word per name combo is sufficient. Since [name]Royal[/name] and [name]August[/name] are two words, the combo sounds like a description of a THING rather than a [name]PERSON[/name] (eg. the royal month of [name]August[/name]). Together, they’re too much. If this baby will be your last and your husband wants to use both names, I would advise you to separate them with another middle name (not a word). Have you considered three names? Something like [name]August[/name] [name]James[/name] [name]Royal[/name] or [name]August[/name] [name]Kiernan[/name] [name]Royal[/name]? [name]Just[/name] another option if your husband won’t budge.
