I want to say [name]Linus[/name] is my favorite, but I will forever associate it with a sweet little Peanuts character and it’s hard for me to picture a teenage [name]Linus[/name]. Still, though, I think the name will grow with him. So I’m going to vote for [name]Linus[/name]. Not a fan of double middle names, and would prefer just [name]Linus[/name] [name]Henry[/name], but if all the siblings have doubles, then I would recommend [name]Linus[/name] [name]Henry[/name] [name]Jack[/name] (rather than [name]Lou[/name]).

I like [name]Mathias[/name]. [name]Matthew[/name] is a great name, but so common. [name]Mathias[/name] is a great variation on the theme. And the meaning is beautiful. :slight_smile:

[name]Matilda[/name] is a wonderful pick for a girls name by the way! For the boys, my top 3 in order of personal preference: [name]Atticus[/name], [name]August[/name], [name]Leopold[/name].

[name]Atticus[/name]: Its my youngest sons middle name so Im obviously biased. But it is such a lovely name and I love saying [name]Murphy[/name] [name]Atticus[/name] over and over again, lol!

[name]August[/name]: This name just seems so cute in my opinion. Although I would use it as a middle name myself, I would love to meet a little [name]August[/name] in person!

[name]Leopold[/name]: I adore the nn [name]Leo[/name] and the name as a whole has been growing on me a lot lately. I think that its a very handsome choice!

[name]Bree[/name]

[name]Matilda[/name] & [name]August[/name] make a great sibset!

1 [name]August[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
2 [name]Augustus[/name] [name]Jack[/name]
3 [name]Mathias[/name] [name]Jack[/name]

I voted for [name]Mathias[/name] on the meaning of the name, but [name]August[/name] and [name]Everett[/name] on personal preference. I do like the meaning of [name]August[/name] and [name]Everett[/name] too.

[name]Leopold[/name] and [name]Everett[/name] (I love [name]Everard[/name] even more), they are great names with fantastic meanings. I think [name]Beckett[/name] is quite nice too, and I love the meaning “beehive”! I love bees.

Thanks so much so far, everyone! Ill keep this open a couple days more and then start the 3rd. All of your opinions are greatly appreciated!

I voted for [name]August[/name] for preferance and meaning.

And [name]Leopold[/name] mostly for the sound of it, though I like some other [name]Leo[/name]-names more, specifically [name]Leon[/name] and [name]Leonardo[/name]. [name]Leonardo[/name] means ‘brave lion’ and [name]Leon[/name] means just lion, which is still pretty cool.
