Twin brother for Watson?

Boy Names
1

Hello berries!

As some of you know we are currently expecting twins. We don’t know the genders yet but being the name addict that I am, I’m already working on options.

Our front runner for a boy right now is [name_m]Watson[/name_m] but I am having a hard time finding the perfect name for his brother. I think [name_m]Watson[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] are pretty cute but maybe too matchy? I also like [name_m]Watson[/name_m] and [name_u]August[/name_u] but my husband isn’t sold on [name_u]August[/name_u].

What would name a twin brother to [name_m]Watson[/name_m]?

Thanks!

[name_m]Watson[/name_m] and…

[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Davis[/name_m]
[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m]
[name_m]Jake[/name_m]

I like [name_m]William[/name_m] or [name_m]Scott[/name_m]. These two were my first thought because I’m a big fan of [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m]. [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] [name_m]Holmes[/name_m]’ full name is [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] [name_m]Holmes[/name_m], and his best friend and sidekick is [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Watson[/name_m]. Matchy without being obvious.

I also like [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], [name_m]Davis[/name_m], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and [name_m]Jake[/name_m] from pps.

I do agree that two W names would be a bit matchy-matchy though.

I do think the two W names seem a little matchy, but [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] sounds like a brother to [name_m]Watson[/name_m]! Here are some other options that might work…

[name_m]Clark[/name_m]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Edwin[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Klaus[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_m]Luther[/name_m]
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_m]Phillip[/name_m]
[name_u]Porter[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]

I love [name_m]Watson[/name_m] and [name_m]Adler[/name_m] from your signature! Maybe a bit too [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m]? Although I think it’s subtle enough that it wouldn’t be a problem. Some other ideas:

[name_m]Autry[/name_m]
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u]
[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Foster[/name_m]
[name_u]Alden[/name_u]
[name_m]Miller[/name_m]
[name_m]Palmer[/name_m]
[name_m]Arrow[/name_m]
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]
[name_m]Langdon[/name_m]
[name_u]Henley[/name_u]
[name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_m]Prescott[/name_m]
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_m]Fisher[/name_m]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]/[name_u]Van[/name_u]
[name_m]Bauer[/name_m]
Riggs
[name_m]Brooks[/name_m]
[name_m]Whittaker[/name_m]/Whitt
[name_m]Rockwell[/name_m]

[name_m]Watson[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] are a bit matchy, but still work really well - I think it actually makes them more appealing together!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] are cute, but maybe too cute? I think it’d be best to give them each their own initial unless [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is the only name that you guys both love. [name_u]August[/name_u] is very handsome too. Keep working on dh!

Other suggestions:

[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]-not as good as [name_u]August[/name_u], but maybe your dh will like it better. Than you could do [name_m]Augie[/name_m] or [name_u]Gus[/name_u].

[name_m]Archer[/name_m]/[name_m]Archie[/name_m]/[name_m]Ace[/name_m]

As a pp said, I agree that [name_m]Watson[/name_m] and [name_m]Adler[/name_m] work well together.

What other names does your husband like? What other names are on your long list?

Thank you all for your feedback! The [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] connection is a huge part of the appeal of [name_m]Watson[/name_m], along with it just being a great name and I love the nickname Watts.

Also thank you for the thoughts on [name_m]Watson[/name_m] and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], worth keeping it on the table. I also like [name_m]Watson[/name_m] and [name_m]Adler[/name_m] together, but my husband isn’t sold on that either.

From your suggestions I like:
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], [name_m]Thatcher[/name_m], [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_u]Abbott[/name_u], [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Merrick[/name_m], [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] (love [name_m]Fitz[/name_m]!),

There are many others I like but cannot use such as:
[name_m]Davis[/name_m], [name_m]Jake[/name_m], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Nolan[/name_m], [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], [name_u]Emery[/name_u], [name_u]Jensen[/name_u]

It is hard to get my husband to talk names before we know the gender but a few names he had mentioned liking are [name_m]Dax[/name_m], [name_u]Abbott[/name_u], [name_m]Edison[/name_m], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], Rohen, [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

[name_m]Dax[/name_m] is cute but feels incomplete to me and I really don’t like [name_m]Daxton[/name_m].
[name_u]Abbott[/name_u], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] I like!
I much prefer [name_m]Watson[/name_m] to [name_m]Edison[/name_m] and wouldn’t want to use both.
Rohen is cute but I fell like it would be a constant spelling challenge and he only likes this spelling.
I also like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]/[name_u]Theo[/name_u] but I think it’s way too popular next to [name_m]Watson[/name_m].

16

A few more names you might consider that I don’t think have been mentioned yet…

[name_u]Barrett[/name_u]
[name_m]Thayer[/name_m]
[name_m]Lowell[/name_m]

17

I think [name_m]Watson[/name_m] and [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] ([name_u]Dash[/name_u]-ul) would be great.

18

I like [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] but not with [name_m]Watson[/name_m] because I’ve got a sister with a similar enough name and we’d always be mixed up by people which I found annoying growing up. I think if you chose a W name with either less or more syllables it would work better.

[name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_m]Watson[/name_m], & …

[name_m]Anders[/name_m]
[name_m]Banks[/name_m]
[name_u]Brighton[/name_u]
[name_m]Bryant[/name_m]
[name_u]Calder[/name_u]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m]/[name_m]Callan[/name_m]/[name_m]Callahan[/name_m]/[name_m]Calloway[/name_m]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_m]Floyd[/name_m]
[name_m]Harold[/name_m]/[name_m]Harris[/name_m]
[name_u]Keaton[/name_u]/[name_u]Keats[/name_u]
[name_u]Keegan[/name_u]
Klein
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_m]Rockwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m]
[name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]
[name_u]Winn[/name_u]/[name_u]Wynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Whittaker[/name_m]

Please consider any repeats seconds/thirds/etc!

Have you pitched the names in your signature to your DH? So many great combos there! [name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_m]Adler[/name_m], [name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], and [name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_m]Wells[/name_m] are so handsome!
I don’t think [name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] are too matchy, I think they go together really well!

[name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_m]Cole[/name_m]

[name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_m]Wayne[/name_m]
[name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_m]Ryland[/name_m]
[name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_m]Watson[/name_m] & [name_m]Beckham[/name_m]
