We have a son, [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] and naming #2 has been crazy hard!

We’ve narrowed it down to:

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] ([name_u]Dorian[/name_u] after my grandmother, [name_f]Doris[/name_f])

[name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] D’alu (Middle name is a family name)

Thoughts?

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] by far. [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] D’alu does nothing for me, and I think [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] and [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] make for a good sibset.

3

I like [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] and [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m].

4

I think [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] and [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] sound best together.

A vote for [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]!

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] gmv.

7

[name_m]Quinlan[/name_m]; [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] is overused at the moment in my opinion. [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] sounds so much fresher and definitely matches the modern but not “trendy” sound of [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] better.

8

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] by far!

9

I love [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]!

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] for sure!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]!!

If you plan on having more children and don’t want to box yourself into the “only Irish surname” corner, I would encourage you to choose [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]. I’m not a fan of names ending in the same sound (in your case, [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] and [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m]). [name_u]Brennan[/name_u] and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] are different styles and may be unexpected but they’re not so different that that they feel completely mismatched for siblings.
