[name]Just[/name] got the BFP (big fat positive) this morning! So I’ve told my husband, my mom, one of my sisters…and now you guys, lol!
So I’m not due until mid-[name]June[/name], but it’s never too early to start thinking of names! There are a lot of names I love (especially for boys) but I definitely want suggestions! The most important thing to me is that the name “flows” well with my son’s name, [name]Owen[/name] [name]McCabe[/name].
Our last name is 2 syllables and starts with a D, so I’d prefer a name that doesn’t start with D. I’d also prefer a name that doesn’t end in “N” because that will be too rhyme-y with [name]Owen[/name]. And I think I want to go a little left of the norm this time…
I love [name]Tate[/name] for a boy–can’t believe I never thought of that before! For a girl, I also like [name]Amelia[/name], but for a MN. [name]Phoebe[/name] is cute and sounds good with [name]Owen[/name], too.
I have a cousin named [name]Miles[/name], a sister named [name]Maeve[/name], and a brother who passed away named [name]Tucker[/name], so I can’t use those. Actually, I have thought about using [name]Tucker[/name] for a middle name, maybe, but I probably won’t.
DH is obsessed with [name]Brody[/name] for a boy, which I hate. I hated it my first pregnancy, and I still hate it, but he’s already put it on the table…it’s going to be a long 9 months…heh.
I also love the suggestions of [name]Tate[/name], [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Phoebe[/name] to go with [name]Owen[/name]! Other names I can see working well…
Congrats! I love [name]Owen[/name], we are planning on using it for a future son, as it’s a family name. [name]Owen[/name] and [name]Tate[/name] make a great sib set. Since [name]Owen[/name] is a short, strong, masculine with a British/Irish vibe, here are the matches I think would work well:
I have a son named [name]Brody[/name]…Our short list for boy names included [name]Eli[/name]. So maybe [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Owen[/name]. Or [name]Brady[/name] and [name]Owen[/name], [name]Levi[/name] and [name]Owen[/name], [name]Dylan[/name] and [name]Owen[/name].
Congratulations on your new pregnancy! I noticed that you have [name]Eli[/name] listed in your signature, and I think it sounds great with [name]Owen[/name]!! That’s what gets my vote for a boy. (I’m also not a big fan of [name]Brody[/name], it’s just not my style).
For a girl, I think [name]Margo[/name] (or [name]Margot[/name]) sounds great, and there’s a little connection between them with the O sound, but it’s not too match-y.
