Baby Names

What should we name Henry's brother?

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!

  • 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!!!

  • I like Edward John. Both of your girl names are pretty.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • If this baby had been a boy our Henry's little brother would've been named John Charles...we planned to call him Jack. Also a HUGE fan of both Edward and Peter--both are names we considered.
  • I really like Everett, but it's my MIL's maiden name and our last name begins with the short /e/ sound as well. It sounds nice with Henry, IMO.
