What do you do when nothing else compares?

I’m not pregnant or even close to have children but names are on my mind constantly. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite boy’s name has been and probably always will be [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]. I have the combo picked out, [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], and to my surprise my partner agreed - it has names I love and a family name too. However, if all goes to plan we will have more than one child so that is where I’m stumped, unless of course I have girls! For the first time in forever I am totally in love with my girl’s list and would name a daughter any of the 7 combo’s currently on it.

The big problem that I have with my boy’s list is that after [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] I have no idea what I would name a second son! I cannot narrow down my style when it comes to boy’s names. I love, love, love biblical name and would have son’s named [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Micah[/name_u], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] if I had my way but my partner isn’t keen. He’s accepted [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] as my favourite boy’s name but he’s not loving the others at all.

I like slightly obscure names such as [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], Castiel, [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_u]Orion[/name_u], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], [name_m]Cato[/name_m].

I like some fairly popular names; [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], [name_m]Jenson[/name_m] (trendy in the UK), [name_u]Finlay[/name_u], [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u].

I like some fairly uncommon names; [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_m]Milo[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Beau[/name_m], [name_m]Barnaby[/name_m], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], [name_u]Micah[/name_u], [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m]

Neither of us like classic, traditional names such as [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] etc. However, what style goes best with [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] if my partner isn’t willing to budge on the other biblical names?

If you had to suggest sibling names for [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] what would you suggest? I just don’t seem to love anything as much as [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]. [name_f]Sister[/name_f]'s are likely to be one of [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Olwen[/name_f], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] & [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], so very girly names.

I also [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - great choice!!

Has your DH mentioned other names he likes?

Here are some suggestions that I think pair well with [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]:

[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] (although I know your dh isn’t into this name)
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_u]Luca[/name_u] / [name_m]Lucius[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] / [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Willem[/name_m]

Guess you have a while to ponder, hope some of these appeal.

We have very similar tastes in names. I love biblical too. [name_f]My[/name_f] son will be [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] and I have considered both [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_u]River[/name_u] as middles but have wandered elsewhere to other ideas.

A favourite sibling name for an [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] is [name_m]Roman[/name_m]. I adore the name and think [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] are a beautiful sounding sib set.

And, by the way , [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] are two of my favourite girl’s names ([name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] being my most favourite) although my husband would never go along with [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] or [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]. I love your style! I’m sure you will decide on some great names.

I wouldn’t be too worried at this point :slight_smile: baby boy #2 is a long way off for you sounds like, and there’s no reason not to use the name you have picked out for #1 just because you don’t know about boy #2.

I’d love to be able to settle on boy #1 with my DH seeing as we’re less than three months away from meeting baby #1 who may well be a boy!!! Let alone deciding on boy #2 :slight_smile:

Haha, yeah I know! I’m just a little obsessed with thinking of names for siblings and it’s just kind of bugging me that I can’t quite narrow down my taste in boy’s names. I know it’s completely way off but just something I like doing for fun!

I wish [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] weren’t too close because I think [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] would up there on my list…

Haha fair enough! I’m sure it will come to you :slight_smile: maybe by the time you’re getting to boy #2 [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] will be able to help you pick a name :stuck_out_tongue:

Good luck finding name #2 that you love :slight_smile: I’m in the same situation, set on boy #1 name but just don’t love any others enough so not sure what I’ll do if I have two boys!!
