Baby Boy #2

LVBound · June 2015

With less than a week away (hopefully), we are have trouble with baby boy #2 name. Nothing seems quite right. We have be floating around Abram Elias and Theodore Elias. We have also considered include Ezra. Brother's name is Asher. Theodore doesn't seem to quite go with Asher and Abram might be to unique? We find boys names so hard... Thanks for your thoughts!

I'm in the same boat! But I do love Theodore with the nn Theo :-) Good luck!

I think Ezra is the best fit with Asher. I like Theodore (Theo) too and think Asher and Theo is a nice pair.

Why not Elias as the first name? Love it in a sib set with Asher.

Elias Theodore is my favorite.

Ezra Theodore

Elias Theodore

Elias Abram

Thanks. We originally had elias as a first name but was concerned with the popularity of Eli- the nickname we would use- between Elijah Eli and Elias I'll being close to the top 100.

Ezra goes really well with Asher.

Asher is an old testament Bible name. Abram and Ezra are too. Theodore and Elias are not.

I'm not going anywhere with this except to say if you want names which pair well, go with Abram or Ezra. If you want to avoid the trend of early Bible names (which you'd almost have to continue if you had a 3rd kid), go with Theodore or Elias.

My 2 cents.

My vote is Ezra. Theo comes in second.

I would say Ezra. I love Theodore (Theo) as well, but I agree that Ezra and Asher have a more similar vibe.

I think Ezra is the best fit with Asher. I like the Biblical theme. Abram is good too, but I am not wild about the alliteration. Love Theodore but I don't know that it goes as well with Asher.
