Twins: Arlo Sebastian & Ezra...?

Boy Names
1

We’re expecting twin boys in [name_u]January[/name_u] :slight_smile:

So far the naming process has gone smoothly - DH and I are absolutely thrilled with our choice of first names, [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], and we’ve chosen one of my all-time favorite names, [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], for [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]'s middle name. We’re completely at a loss, however, when it comes to a middle name for [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].

I would like it to be a longer, elegant-sounding name to go with [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]. Our last name is four syllables, Italian, and begins with G.

All thoughts much appreciated! :slight_smile:

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] was the first name that came to mind! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]?
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
[name_m]Leonard[/name_m]
I think classic, long name is what you’re looking for.
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] are a perfect twin names!

[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] too!

Thank you all so much for the suggestions!!

I’m really liking the way three-syllable names with the emphasis on the first syllable sound with [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].

My favorites so far:
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] as well, and we [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the idea of having a Shakespearean theme with the middles (which would also be achieved with [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] or [name_u]Valentine[/name_u].) I’m not sure I love the flow of [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] as much, but it’s not bad. I like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], but we can’t use [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] because of someone in the family whom we don’t want to accidentally honor in the name!

I’ll put a poll up soon once we’ve muddled with these a bit. Other suggestions welcome :slight_smile:

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] are an awesome twin set!

I think [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] sounds amazing. Though [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] are also quite handsome.

I also see you like [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], and thought I’d suggest [name_m]Malachy[/name_m] as an alternative. I just love the sound of [name_m]Malachy[/name_m] more, with and without [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].

I love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]

11

I love the sound of [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]. You’ve gotten some great suggestions, but what’s a couple more?

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Augustine[/name_m]

I don’t believe it - another set of twin boys due in [name_u]January[/name_u]! I’m also expecting a pair of rascals in the new year! :slight_smile:

Hmm… [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] are a fabulous pair! [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is particularly dashing :wink:
As for middle name suggestions for [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], how about:

[name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_m]Horatio[/name_m]
[name_m]Cassius[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucius[/name_m]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Flavian[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyprian[/name_m]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Montague[/name_m]
[name_m]Ludovic[/name_m]
[name_m]Casimir[/name_m]
[name_m]Percival[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxfield[/name_m]
[name_m]Jolyon[/name_m]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]

I do agree with the others that [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] is very nice! Good luck!

@babtr1ll: Congratulations on your boys! What a lovely coincidence :slight_smile: You have very handsome names picked out for them - [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], love it.

I’m adding [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Casimir[/name_m] to my list - I’ve always loved [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], don’t know why I haven’t thought of it in combination with [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]. [name_m]Casimir[/name_m] is cool and different as well!
