Naming boy #2

Stormy8881

I'm ready for #2 but we are waiting until lo is 1 to start trying again. So baby name dreaming is keeping me sane until then.

With our first, we were set on a boy name but couldn't agree on a girl name. Luckily, lo is a boy! Now for #2 we have agreed on a girl name but no longer agree on boy names.

Our son is Everett Christian. If #2 is a girl she will likely be Felicity Ann.  

DH likes Calvin and Russell (I don't LOVE them but I like them). I like Alistair, Dawson, and Archer but DH isn't a fan.

Trying to stay out of the top 100. Middle names would either be Alan or Jack (Alan is my dad's name and Jack is my grandpa's name). Seriously what first name goes well with Jack?

Last name sounds like handsaw.

 Thanks ladies!

Calvin Jack 

Russel Jack

Not feeling the others, sorry.

Felicity is really pretty though.

I think a lot of names that go with "John" as a middle name could also work for "Jack."  Henry Jack, Robert Jack...etc.  It's pretty versatile!  My father in law is Allen and my husband wants that as a middle name for our son, I just don't want the initials to spell out anything...unfortunate since our last name starts with a g...

I hear you on not wanting the initials to spell out anything...it can make for a challenge sometimes!

Maybe I'm paranoid for thinking this, but I wouldn't use Felicity Ann because of the small possibility that she could someday marry someone with a last name that begins with a G or a T.

Like I said, maybe it's silly, but I wanted to say something just in case you hadn't considered it.

Stormy8881

Ah! I hadn't thought of that! This is why I like sharing on this board.

Ann is in honor of my grandma. Her name was actually Haze Ann...I have been going back and forth on whether to use her full name. If #2 is a girl and we go with Felicity then I may just go with HazeAnn for her mn. Maybe.

I wouldn't let this small chance stop me from using a name I love. If your daughter thinks this a problem for her as an adult getting married, she doesn't have to take his name.

Agreed! I love running ideas past this board.

I wouldn't ordinarily have given it a second thought, but Felicity Anna was a combination that I considered.

HazeAnn is pretty, and not something you hear very often. You could also use Hazel, but that's obviously more common.

ETA: Like the previous post said, it's a really really slim chance, and she would obviously have the option to keep her maiden name if it ever came up.

Anyway, back to the topic of boy names...

I LOVE Everett Christian! Nice choice!

Russell and Calvin are both good, but your other boy names aren't my style.

I wouldn't pair Russell with Jack because of the Jack Russell terrier.

Russell Alan and Calvin Jack are nice.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. On the slim chance that happens, she could always drop her MN and be Felicity Maiden Name Last Name.

I ADORE Russell and am very partial to Alan. So Russell Alan gets my vote!

That wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. Monograms have the last name initial in the middle. And what adult makes fun of another adults initials? I would avoid bad initials for the birth name but wouldn't change my mind for possible married last names.

Hmm, difficult.

From your options I really like Alistair, all the others are NMS.

How about: 

Theodore

Hugo

August

Cameron

I like Theodore and Hugo but DH vetoed them the first time around. Not a fan of Cameron.

I LOVE August but with ds #1 being born in August... I for some reason find that a little weird for ds #2. 

Good suggestions though!

First thing I thought of was Warren.
