Trying to decide on brother's name for Grant

Boy Names
1

Our first son is name [name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], and we are trying to come up with a name for his little brother, due in a few weeks. Our preference is for another first name that is one or two syllables. Right now our favorites are:

[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_m]Penn[/name_m]

What do you think of these names? And any suggestions for middle names? (Our last name is two syllables, starting with a D and ending with a Y.) I love [name_m]Pierce[/name_m], but my husband is concerned that it sounds too European.

Before reading your post I thought [name_m]Grant[/name_m] and [name_m]Holden[/name_m] would make great brothers.
[name_m]Grant[/name_m] is on our list, so is [name_m]Holden[/name_m]. I vote [name_m]Holden[/name_m].
[name_m]Holden[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] sounds nice, or [name_m]Holden[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m].
Other names I think pair wonderfully with [name_m]Grant[/name_m] are
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u] (which is on your list!)
[name_m]Hayes[/name_m]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_m]Hendrix[/name_m]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]

[name_m]Miles[/name_m], [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] and [name_u]Reid[/name_u] are wonderful choices for [name_m]Grant[/name_m]'s bother. However, [name_u]Reid[/name_u] isn’t ideal with your “D” surname. The pp’s suggestion of [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] would solve that problem. [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] is Irish but it’s a pretty common surname so I don’t find it too foreign or European. Here are some other suggestions.

[name_m]Colin[/name_m]/[name_m]Callum[/name_m]
[name_m]Brooks[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_u]Neil[/name_u]/[name_u]Niall[/name_u]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]/[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_u]Shane[/name_u]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m]
[name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_u]Bryce[/name_u]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_m]Beau[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]

From your list my favorite with [name_m]Grant[/name_m] is [name_m]Miles[/name_m], how about [name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]? Or [name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]? [name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Zachariah[/name_m]?

I think [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Holden[/name_m] would be great with [name_m]Grant[/name_m]!

I love all your names! We are contemplating using [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] for our second son as well so that gets my vote although I hope it never becomes too common. Our first son is [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and we also love [name_m]Grant[/name_m]! [name_m]Holden[/name_m] would be my second choice followed by [name_m]Hayes[/name_m].

[name_f]My[/name_f] vote is for [name_m]Miles[/name_m]!

I really like [name_m]Miles[/name_m], [name_u]Reid[/name_u], and [name_m]Holden[/name_m] with [name_m]Grant[/name_m]. [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] does not sound European to me, but it’s not my favorite. [name_m]Penn[/name_m] is nms at all, so would be my last choice.

[name_m]Grant[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is a great name. A few mn ideas:

[name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Holden[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
