Henry Michael is having a brother or sister. We think we have the girl names set...
Genevieve Margaret or Adele Margaret
But we are stumped on the boy names. Some on our list:
Edward, William, Gabriel, Everett, Emmett, Peter...
Any suggestions for us? Middle name would probably be John or Victor and our last name starts with an S (one syllable, german)
HELP! I only have a few weeks left!
Re: What should we name Henry's brother?
How about Paul Victor?
Theodore, Adam, Andrew, Elijah?
As soon as I read the topic, William came to mind so I'm sticking with that. I LOVE Henry and William together. Also, I like Adelle best with Henry!
Wow. I love all of your names (except Peter, because of the whole "slang for penis" thing). Your girls' names are gorgeous.
From your list, I think I like Gabriel best. William and Edward are very nice, too.
I also love PP suggestion of Theodore. We have Theodore Niles on our list. Others you might like from our list:
Atticus David
Ambrose James
Byron Ignatius
Jude (MN is a family surname)
Lucius Xavier
George also goes well with big brother Henry.
Thanks for the suggestions! George is also in DH's family, he is 11 months old...so that is not really an option, though I love it.
DH is liking Victor for a first name, and through it is my grandfather's name, I am not sure I'm sold on it for a FN.
Keep the suggestions coming...I love any feedback...we are so torn!!!
Your middle names are great for any of the first names you've picked.
I like William, Everett and Peter best.
Burned by the Bear
My favorite from your list is Gabriel. It's a great name, and I love the nickname Gabe.
Other suggestions - Charles (Charlie), Oliver (Ollie), Benjamin (Ben), Samuel (Sam), James, Robert (Rob), Alexander (Alex), Vincent, Thomas (Tom), Timothy (Tim), Ethan, Wesley (Wes), Elliott, Andrew (Andy), Matthew (Matt), Kenneth (Ken), Gregory (Greg), George, Michael (Mike), Philip (Phil), Joshua (Josh), Steven (Steve), Adam
From your list I liked Edward best.
But here are some more that may be your style:
Arthur
Charles
Alfred
Edmund
Stephen
Richard
Philip
James
...and yes, I am listing all of the former English monarchs minus George and Henry lol
Owen John
Owen Victor
Nolan John
Evan John
Colin Victor
Edward - I'd skip this because of the recent Twilight craze...
William Victor
Gabriel John
Everett seems a little mismatched with Henry for some reason.
I dislike Emmett and I don't like Peter with the MNs Victor or John
Thanks for weighing in everyone...it's making me like some names more than others...and I really needed that. We seriously have a list of like 15 names that we've been trying to narrow down.
We like Owen, but it's rising popularity bugs me. I've crossed of Ethan for the same reason. We want something somewhat different and classic...even Henry wasn't that far up on the popularity scale when we picked it. Now (of course) it's everywhere.
This exactly.
Good names!
I adore Genevieve and Adele is so nice too.
I like William and Everett from your boy list.
Henry is on my short list.
Our other top three are Charles and Desmond.
I think Desmond Victor is classic.
For some reason the name Oliver popped into my head.
I love William, Gabriel, and Emmett.
I think Henry and William sound the best, but those are the names of the Princes Charles' kids. I'm not sure if that would sway your usage of it.
Henry and Emmett are nice. I feel that Emmett is bit on the trendy side in comparison to Henry though.
I love Genevieve!
You have great taste! I pretty much like everything on your list, except for Gabriel and Peter (never been a fan of those two).
I LOVE Adele...so pretty. For the boys, I don't really think you can go wrong! My favorites are Edward and Everett.
