Pregnant with boy #2 and having a really hard time finding a name that we like for more than a couple days. Everything the hubby and I can agree on we end up tossing because it sounds too similar to our first son’s name, are afraid it is too trendy, can’t agree on a middle name, and so on. Our first son is named Haytham [name_m]Gunner[/name_m] and our last name is 3 syllables. We like names that have an old English or southern charm or that are cowboy cool. While Haytham is actually an Arabic derived name, the context in which I heard it made me think it was an old English name and I thought it would be perfect for the southern gentleman I want my son to be. I want his brother’s name to be in line with the same idea. Here are some of the names we have tossed around and reasons we haven’t settled on them:
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] - getting very close to top 100
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m] - think it pairs particularly well with Haytham but don’t care for its meaning and know another girl who recently named her baby this
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] - love the meaning but am afraid it is a trendy name
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] - can’t come up with a middle name. Fell in love with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Wade[/name_u] as a name but then thought it sounded too much like the landmark court case [name_f]Roe[/name_f] v. [name_u]Wade[/name_u]
What are your thoughts on these names/ my issues with them? Particularly [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Wade[/name_u] because I really do love that one. Are my fears rational? Any thoughts/suggestions/advice? I’m getting really frustrated.
