Boy name poll - first and middle

bunniekrissy

Just a fun little poll of our top names for this LO. I think we may have almost decided, although that could easily change. Isaiah is currently both DH's and my favorite. Emil is my dad's middle name (his first name, John could also be a possibility, but DS1 is Evander Jonathan with his middle name after my husband.) Ragnar and Rorik are just Scandinavian names I like and I have Scandinavian heritage so it could be meaningful and I kind of like the sound/vibe of with certain first names to mesh with DS's name, but I think I prefer to go with Emil after my dad. Vote for the first name you like, and comment if you can with the full name you prefer with our middle name options. Our last name is Law.son.

Gilbert Ragnar is one of the coolest names I've ever heard, so I gave it my vote. If you really want your dad's name in there, though, Gilbert Emil is also nice. Gilbert is just too awesome of a FN to pass up. (Would you NN him Gil? That's one of my favorite boy nicknames.)

I love Rorik, especially with Arthur!  But, I'm with PP on this one, Gilbert is an awesome fn and it goes with Evander well.  I don't know which mn you should do with it though, I like Rorik, Emil and Ragnar with it!  Too many good choices.

i was really torn between Isaiah and Elijah. I don't really like the double E initials of Elijah Emil, but Emil is definitely the best name.  We also have swedish and finnish heritage (DH more than I do) and his grandfather's middle name was Emil. so many fun Scandinavian names!

I love Isaiah Emil and I also like Arthur but with Emil instead Rorik. 

And Evander is an absolute cutie!!!

I am not sure if we'll do a nickname, but it's possible. So far a nickname hasn't stuck for DS1.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

If you like the name Ragnar, do not ever watch "Escanaba in Da Moonlight."

I'm loving Rorik as a fn!
