I love the name Everson. The only problem is my nephew’s name is [name_u]Carson[/name_u]. They both have the son ending which concerns me that their too close for comfort. Can I use Everson or should I look for something else? If I went with it, I was thinking Everson [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] sounded nice. If not can I have suggestions on boys names that are similar?
I don’t think it’s too similar! “-son” names are pretty popular right now so it won’t seem like you are copying at all. Plus they are completely different starting sounds and syllables!
Too close for siblings, yes. Not too close for cousins!
I don’t think they are too close! I really like the middle name [name_m]Brooks[/name_m]!
You could call your son [name_u]Carson[/name_u] if you felt that was The One. So, no, I do not feel Everson is too close.
BTW, I adore [name_m]Brooks[/name_m].
Not too close at all!
I agree that Everson is absolutely fine to use! There are at least 6 living Johns/Johnnys in my dad’s side of the family (we’re just talking uncles/cousins/etc. here–only two generations! And yes, there are some cousins who share the same name), so [name_u]Carson[/name_u] and Everson hardly would phase me at this point lol. I think Everson [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] is cute, and if you love it, you should use it! I don’t think you should let [name_u]Carson[/name_u] hold you back. To me, it almost feels as similar as cousins being named [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]–nowhere near similar enough to keep you from it, especially if they’re just cousins.
Good luck!
It’s not too close at all as it only shares the “son” ending which many boys names have. Everson [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] is really a nice choice.
Exactly. I’ve never heard of “Everson”.
Not too close at all. Completely different sounding names.
Go for it! I’d be worried about similar beginnings, plus they’re cousins, so you’re fine! If you’re looking for something similar, [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u] are awesome names as well.
I think it is fine. My cousin had a child named [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], and I briefly considered [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], however those are different because they are basically the same name origin. I still would have used it if I loved it anyway.
I don’t think Everson and [name_u]Carson[/name_u] are too similar. They sound just fine to me. And Everson [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] sounds adorable, go for it!
