Which one would you go for of our 3 final names?

@lilimorgana

I have a [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and a [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and love them together. I’ve gotten so many compliments as well! So that gets my (biased) vote!

I love that combo! Great choices See you’re expecting a girl this time! Exciting! What names are you thinking for her?

@sunniva

I very much prefer [name_u]Luca[/name_u], to [name_m]Leon[/name_m], however, with your [name_u]Parker[/name_u], I think I prefer [name_m]Leon[/name_m] flow-wise due to the similar repeated endings of [name_u]Luca[/name_u] & [name_u]Parker[/name_u] (more-so similar in my Australian accent, mind you). I also think [name_m]Leon[/name_m] Hay flows better as a first and middle.

So ultimately, while I do prefer [name_u]Luca[/name_u] (& [name_m]Leo[/name_m] for that matter) individually myself, for you I vote [name_m]Leon[/name_m] Hay, as it just fits best in my eyes.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts - really helpful

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] is my strong favourite and I like it best with the siblings. [name_m]Leon[/name_m] is 2nd choice. [name_u]Luca[/name_u] seems the odd one out with your family to me.

I think you’re right that [name_m]Leo[/name_m] or [name_m]Leon[/name_m] flows better with our boys’ names

@gabriellenz

I like [name_u]Luca[/name_u] the best!
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] also goes nicely with your boys but it is that much more popular

Haha this is exactly my problem! [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is that bit more popular and it definitely worries me as we have that issue already with my son, [name_u]Finlay[/name_u] (it’s very popular where we are, which we didn’t realise at the time as he was born down south). Trying to call him [name_u]Finn[/name_u] more now to get around it

As a follow up, what about [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]?

[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t get me wrong, still thinking [name_m]Leon[/name_m] or [name_m]Leo[/name_m] but if they both have problems for you — and bc I don’t think [name_u]Luca[/name_u] is great (for the reasons listed - too cutesy - and bc you have a [name_u]Parker[/name_u] -Parka and [name_m]Luka[/name_m]) - [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] might be the way forward. It’s hard to imagine on a 2 month old but it’s fab for a 5-100 year old! Sometimes we name for babies not adults. Or [name_m]Luke[/name_m] or [name_m]Lucas[/name_m].

I really like the name [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] so thanks for that suggestion, agree it ages nicely too! My husband has actually has a couple of friends called that so it’s never been on my list as they’re the first people I picture anytime I’ve come across the name.

I’m starting to wonder how we’re ever going to decide this time round :-?

[thenameprincess]

[name_u]Luca[/name_u], you are right if it wasnt for its popularity I would have voted [name_m]Leo[/name_m]

[stephielc]

@adelina_sophia

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] is definitely the best fit with [name_u]Finley[/name_u] and [name_u]Parker[/name_u] for me. A great choice!

Thank you! It does flow really nicely. I’ll note that as another vote for [name_m]Leo[/name_m]

[stephielc]

@thenameprincess

[name_u]Luca[/name_u], you are right if it wasnt for its popularity I would have voted [name_m]Leo[/name_m]

Aw interesting, I don’t know if I’m over worrying the whole popularity issue. If we went with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] it would be luck if there wasn’t one or two in his class

[mom3]

I prefer [name_m]Leon[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. I am not so fond of [name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] together.

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] can also get shortened to [name_m]Leo[/name_m] so perhaps that’s an option?

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] Hay
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]

[PrincessShannon]

[name_m]Leon[/name_m] seems a little ‘stuffier’ than your boys names to me. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] seem like a perfect fit. [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] or [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] would be lovely. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m]/[name_u]Hayden[/name_u] would be a perfect fit too, but I slightly prefer [name_u]Luca[/name_u] by a hair.

[_thelittlefairywren]

I like [name_m]Leo[/name_m] with his sibling’s names, however I think it’s too short in comparison so I would probably go with [name_m]Leon[/name_m] and just use [name_m]Leo[/name_m] for short.

@stephielc

Thank you, I’ve found [name_m]Leon[/name_m] is a bit of a marmite name haha. [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] is a great suggestion too

Haha! I love that! “Marmite name”!

I think [name_m]Leon[/name_m] sounds the best of the three with [name_m]Fin[/name_m] and [name_u]Parker[/name_u], and it would stand out a bit better in a sea of [name_m]Leos[/name_m] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]! I’d go with [name_m]Leon[/name_m].

[rollypolly]

Oh, these are such wonderful names! I think I’d like [name_u]Luca[/name_u] with [name_u]Finlay[/name_u] and [name_u]Parker[/name_u] the most because it matches up in both length and sound! Your older boys’ names are wonderful, by the way! Good luck!
