Help with boy names!

emilie250

Would love thoughts on our list of potential boy names and suggestions. We tend to prefer traditional names in large because because they are more likely to "exist" in both French and English. 

Middle name will definitely be Thomas (family name). Last name is hyphenated, total of three syllables and rhymes with "call".

- Jacob Thomas (we both actually love this name, but REALLY don't like the NN "Jake" so we're probably not going to use it)
- Gabriel Thomas (unfortunately rhymes with the first last name in French - is that a big problem?)
- Caleb Thomas (DH loves this, I'm not sure)
- Owen Thomas (doesn't exist in French, but still an option)

Others that we like but have been vetoed:
- Noah (too popular in Quebec)
- Benjamin (not a fan of NN "Ben")

Gabriel and Owen are great. I don't think the rhyming matters

Gabriel and Owen are my favorites too.

You can't go wrong w any of these. There's a little boy at my church named Jacob and he's just Jacob, not Jake- FWIW.

Of your list, I like Caleb best. 

I'd like to suggest Lucien as an option - as NN could be Luc/Luke.

I like Caleb the best, followed by own.

I second thinking about William

I do like Jacob Thomas! I would consistently emphasize Jacob when he's little and hope that everyone catches on.

Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions ladies!

I'll ask my husband what he thinks about William. I'm hesitant because it has been very popular in Quebec over the last few years, but I like it!
