2 boy names, WDYT?

SoonToBeMrsTB

DH and I both like Samuel James (nn Sam) for our 2nd DS. But Im still not 100% sold and also like Ryder James (nn Ry or RJ) Which do you think sounds better? Our DS #1 is Zane Thomas. TIA!

I think Ryder is more along the same style lines as Zane, however, I personally like Samuel James the best.

I like Samuel better than Ryder, but I think Ryder and Zane go together better.  In your case, I'd go with Ryder.

I prefer Samuel, but I think that Ryder goes better with Zane.

Just like pp's i say Ryder goes best with your DS's name. My Dh likes it as well but one of his close friends just had twins and named one Ryder. Also like your DS's name Zane, good choice in names!

Wow-- I really like both of these! Samuel is on our list.  That said........I would vote for Ryder--

I like Ryder and think it goes great with Zane.

I don't see why their names need to "go together".  They're two different people, their names don't have to match.

Ryder is horrible.  Think of the "You going to Ryd-er tonight?" jokes...

Samuel is much nicer.
