We’ve been struggling to come up with a couple boy name options if #2 (due 8/7) is a boy. Our first born, a son is named [name]Stephen[/name] [name]Gerard[/name] III and goes by the nickname [name]Tripp[/name]. His name was easy and we still really like the 2 girl name options we had in mind when he was born. I’m not one to discuss names with anyone I know, so I’m reaching out to you for some help.
The main reason a lot of names get the axe is because of how their names will sound together - “[name]Tripp[/name] and ____.” We joke that we’ll just go with [name]Dale[/name] ([name]Tripp[/name] and [name]Dale[/name]) is all else fails and make them wear bow ties and cuffs everywhere they go! Seriously, though, here are a couple names we like but aren’t sure we can do:
[name]Tripp[/name] and [name]Phil[/name] (trip and fall?)
[name]Tripp[/name] and [name]Chase[/name] (“[name]Tripp[/name] chased me then [name]Chase[/name] tripped me!”) *If we had to name a boy right now, this is probably our top choice - [name]Charles[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] - but we still just can’t commit to it.
Are we over thinking this? I know they won’t be together forever (pro doubles anyone?), but it will be a decent amount of time that we’re saying their names back to back.
We’d like to go with a traditional/full name and are obviously ok with nicknames, but none of the [name]Matthew[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Robert[/name], etc. names really stand out in a good way to us. Please share your thoughts, suggestions, insight, and anything else. Be honest - we can take it!
Thanks in advance for the help and encouragement! [name]Just[/name] writing this out makes some of the stress go away
I think you’re over thinking it [name]Stephen[/name] and [name]Charles[/name] sound good together (is he a Steff-en or a [name]Steven[/name]?). Out of curiosity, how did the nn [name]Tripp[/name] evolve from [name]Stephen[/name]?
[name]Tripp[/name] and [name]Cabot[/name]
[name]Tripp[/name] and [name]Rhett[/name]

Thanks, nercomi! [name]Tripp[/name] is a nn for “the third” – think triple. His dad and grandpa go by [name]Steve[/name], and their full name has the V sound.
[name]Stephen[/name] and [name]Charles[/name] sound good together (is he a Steff-en or a [name]Steven[/name]?). Out of curiosity, how did the nn [name]Tripp[/name] evolve from [name]Stephen[/name]?
