We are due with our second boy in less than 3 months but we are having such a hard time deciding on a name this time. Our first is [name_m]Luke[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] with a long Italian last name (4 syllables, ugh). With that being said I love short names. Originally I wanted to name my first [name_m]Jack[/name_m] but I felt it was too popular so went with [name_m]Luke[/name_m]. I still like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] ([name_m]Samuel[/name_m]) but it’s still very popular and my family members are chiming in that they don’t like it. I also really like [name_m]Liam[/name_m] a lot but I’m afraid it sounds too Irish and silly with my last name. My husband actually has a large Irish maternal side but doesn’t carry that last name obviously. The only other name we are considering is [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], which I love but can’t stand the sound of [name_m]Charles[/name_m]. Does anyone have any constructive opinions that may help us decide? Thanks!!!
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_u]Vanni[/name_u]
[name_m]Rico[/name_m]
[name_m]Marco[/name_m]
[name_m]Dante[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_m]Gabe[/name_m]
[name_u]Rafe[/name_u]
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u]
or just find Italian names that will flow well with your last name
Shorter names too consider if you like [name_m]Jack[/name_m]- [name_m]Jax[/name_m], [name_m]Ajax[/name_m], [name_m]Jason[/name_m], [name_m]Jake[/name_m]/[name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
Other shorter name suggestions:
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Zane[/name_m]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_m]Frank[/name_m]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_m]Aldo[/name_m]
[name_m]Gino[/name_m]
[name_u]Seth[/name_u]
[name_m]Tito[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Paul[/name_m]
