Where in NZ do you live, i am from NZ too; auckland. There’s a popular rugby player with surname [name]Rule[/name], are you related? I’ve only ever heard that surname once.
I know what you mean about nameberry style, i have noticed that a lot of berries like similar names, and not necessarily popular names, just a similar style. A little bit vintage/old fashioned/classic.
I like that you have unique names as your options none of them are what i would say ‘perfect’ with that middle and surname but it is just the middle and besides the fact of it meaning something, in terms of family name, in my opinion outweighs the negative, i think having that is sweet and signifcant.
[name]Cruz[/name] was obviously chosen by the Beckhams, but it’s a Spanish religious name meant to honor one of the many feasts of the [name]Cross[/name]. And it was usually given to girls. [name]Do[/name] you think your husband knows that?
I think “[name]Reid[/name] [name]Rule[/name]” sounds like an awesome sports name, as well as pretty classy.
[name]Brady[/name] in the US is considered very sporty, due to a famous football quarterback.
Avoid names with “r’s” on the end of them [name]Cruz[/name] is a good strong boy’s name which is very popular in the anglophile (English speaking countries) and works well with rule as does [name]Brady[/name] and [name]Noah[/name]. Good luck, rollo
I adore [name]Bowen[/name]!! My favorites combos are [name]Reid[/name] and [name]Cooper[/name], but I give a slight edge to [name]Cooper[/name] because it sounds better with your last name.
I’d steer clear of things like “[name]Hunter[/name] [name]Bowen[/name]” little too literal!
[name]Nixon[/name] and [name]Noah[/name] sound too N heavy with [name]Bowen[/name].
I actually don’t mind [name]Brady[/name] [name]Bowen[/name], if you like the alliteration I think it could work. But it’s not my favorite name.
