Baby Names

Need name for DS2. DS1 is Owen George. Please help. :)

Hey guys,

I haven't posted since DS1 (Owen George) was born, but I could really use help naming DS2.  He is due in March and DH and I are still really struggling to come up with a name we're happy with.  We are planning on using Steven as the MN (a family name, just as George was a family name the first time).  Our choices (and a BabyNames link for voting):

Henry
Oscar
Milo
Theo
Eli
Jack
Benjamin
Samuel
Nathan
Nathaniel
Miles
Grant
Carter

Those are in my approximate order of preference.  I LOVE Henry, but can't quite get DH on board.  We both like Oscar, but worry about choosing another "O" name and starting a pattern.  I worry that Milo might be too soft or that our sibset will too closely resemble the movie "Milo and Otis".  I like the other names, but none have really clicked for me.

What do you think of these names?

We prefer older/classic names and would ideally like to stay out of the top 20 or so.  Are there other names that you think match our style and go well with Owen that we should be considering?

THANK YOU!

Due with DS2 on March 15, 2013! PLEASE vote on my BabyNames.com list! http://www.babynames.com/namelist/9692263

  • My favorites are Grant, Benjamin, and Miles.  I think Milo is cute and could be a nn for Miles, but agree it does resemble Milo and Otis a bit.  We were very close to naming DS #2 Owen, but ultimately chose Pierce.  I think Pierce Steven and Owen George would make an awesome sibset (but I am very partial:)
  • I love a lot of your choices. My Jack's middle name is Henry and I LOVE it. But, I know a ton of Henry's in my area. I actually know close to 10 little Henry's and only one other Jack. I think my top choices, off of your list, would be...

    Milo Steven and Eli Steven

  • Out loud I think the last four sound the best with Steven as a middle name good luck! :
