Would love some feedback

[name]Hi[/name],
We are struggling with names and would love to know what people think of some we are considering. We have a daughter already who we called Teya.

[name]Carver[/name]
[name]Jedd[/name]/[name]Jed[/name]
[name]Packer[/name]
[name]Jake[/name]
[name]Chase[/name]

Thanks! I look forward to hearing opinions.

I like [name]Jake[/name] or [name]Jed[/name] with Teya.

Thank you for coming to nameberry.

It would be better to avoid the same ending sound with the children’s names eg [name]Carver[/name] and [name]Packer[/name] rhyme with Teya. I do like [name]Jake[/name] and [name]Chase[/name] but prefer [name]Jake[/name] and I would use [name]Jacob[/name] as the full name nn of [name]Jake[/name].

It looks like you want a nice short name so here are a few ideas.

[name]Cruz[/name]
[name]Clint[/name]
[name]Zane[/name]
[name]Dane[/name]
[name]Jem[/name] nn for [name]James[/name]
[name]Edward[/name] nn [name]Ned[/name] or [name]Ted[/name]
[name]Ward[/name]
[name]Milo[/name] ( a lovely choice), [name]Milo[/name] and Teya works perfectly
[name]Rocco[/name]
[name]Grey[/name]
[name]Reid[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Dante[/name] (love this but a little matchy with Teya maybe a good middle?)
[name]Brent[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Connor[/name]
[name]Liam[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Devon[/name]
[name]Tate[/name]

All the best,

rollo

I like [name]Jed[/name], [name]Jake[/name] & [name]Chase[/name] best. [name]Jacob[/name] nn [name]Jake[/name] would be nice.

[name]Chase[/name] is my choice from your names. Instead of [name]Carver[/name] maybe [name]Archer[/name] or [name]Sawyer[/name]?

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate the assistance and your comments!

I love [name]Chase[/name]. I had it on my list but my husband vetoed. [name]Jed[/name] reminds me of someone southern so it doesnt’ seem to go well with Teya to my ear. I also worry that [name]Packer[/name] would lead to quite a bit of teasing (think of a homophobic slang term), so I’d avoid that name. From others’ lists, [name]Cruz[/name] seems like a good pick as well.

I like [name]Jed[/name] and [name]Jake[/name] but prefer the longer forms [name]Jedidiah[/name] and [name]Jacoby[/name] (jah-COH-bee).

[name]Chase[/name] is ok but not a favorite.

I can see teasing potential for [name]Carver[/name] and [name]Packer[/name] but for different reasons.

What about…

[name]Judd[/name]/[name]Judson[/name]
[name]Bridger[/name]
[name]Miller[/name]
[name]Fletcher[/name]
Coleson/Colson
[name]Paxton[/name]
[name]Colton[/name]
[name]Oakley[/name]
[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Easton[/name]
[name]Benton[/name]

@[name]Rollo[/name]-- in an American accent, where the R is clearly pronounced, Teya and [name]Carver[/name]/[name]Packer[/name] sound quite different.

I think [name]Packer[/name] absolutely has to be eliminated-- think ‘fudge packer.’ [name]Carver[/name] is interesting, as a possible homage to the writer or to [name]George[/name] [name]Washington[/name] [name]Carver[/name], but it is a little bit violent what with the common verb ‘carve’ meaning to slice up.

[name]Jed[/name] & [name]Jake[/name] sound a little short and incomplete; perhaps [name]Jacoby[/name] or [name]Santiago[/name]?

Also:

[name]Diego[/name]
[name]Joaquin[/name]
[name]Fletcher[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Ritter[/name]
Seaver
[name]Keifer[/name]
[name]Foster[/name]
[name]Frasier[/name]
[name]Denver[/name]
Alder

I like [name]Jake[/name] from your list.

[name]Packer[/name] has too much teasing potential. Maybe [name]Parker[/name]? [name]Carver[/name] is too violent sounding for me as well. [name]Jed[/name] is too redneck and where I live it is a bit of a joke name. [name]Chase[/name] is ok, but I know a couple of dogs with the name, so it is kind of ruined for me.

Thanks blade for the pronunciation tip. We Aussies say ‘a’ and ‘er’ the same way.

I think [name_m]Zack[/name_m]. [name_f]My[/name_f] friend is called Teya and her little brother’s called [name_m]Zack[/name_m].

I also like [name_m]Jake[/name_m].

[name_m]Carver[/name_m] is a family name and I absolutely love it. I don’t really see any teasing potential at all? I think it’s a great alternative to the popular [name_u]Carter[/name_u].
