Davis vs. August

msumjll · June 2013

We are down to the final two boy names. Anyone want to weigh in and tell me what you would pick?

ETA DS is Graham William

Our names choices are:

Davis Patrick

Or

August David

What would you choose?

LBF DPT · June 2013

I like Davis the best

JuniperGaze · June 2013

I think I like August best, but both will sound nice in your sibset!

BootsyLou · June 2013

Davis

ObLaDi · June 2013

I love August, and think it sounds great with Graham.

Davis is a last name to me.

Dr.Loretta · June 2013

Davis Patrick. I like it, and I think it goes better with Graham

BulgariHeart · June 2013

It's true that Davis is a LN but I really dislike August, so I'll say Davis, reluctantly.

I like Davis Patrick the best :-)

GibsonGirl620 · June 2013

I like Davis! I can't get on board with the August trend, sorry.

NerdyLucy · June 2013

I prefer Davis Patrick.

arizonatea · June 2013

August sounds great with Graham. I don't like Davis at all. It sounds weird as a FN

BlueRidge8 · June 2013

Oh, I like your style.

Can you name him Patrick David August? Because I love all of those. Davis is fine, just a bit more modern.

Is Davis/David a family name?nbsp; I just ask since you use one as a FN and one as a MN and they are similar.nbsp; August

Yes, David is my dad's name. DS1 has DH's dads initials. So we wanted to make sure we honored my dad somehow with DS2. Patrick is also DH's name.

My only hesitation with Davis is our last name starts with an S so it sounds like you are saying David S____ because the s's blend together!

I hesitate with August because I know it is not a lot of people's style so I'm sure we will get the side eye from family members friends! But, I love the name so much I don't really care!

I really appreciate the input everyone! I'm sure we will wait until we meet him until we settle on the name!

Ewych82 · June 2013

Davis Patrick

susieandmarty · June 2013

Definitely Davis. Not a fan of August at all

I wouldn't do Davis with an S last name either.

I don't love August, but it's the better of the choices

I have an August, we call him Augie. I get a lot of compliments on the name. People were surprised at first because it's a little different but it's been nothing but positive since.

Wats6006 · June 2013

I like both, but if I had to choose... I pick Davis Patrick... has a nice ring to it!

mammersoh · June 2013

My vote is August.

apc1929 · June 2013

August hands down...

banda522 · June 2013

August David. I think this sounds better with Graham, too!

g8trkim · June 2013

I like Davis better and I think it goes better with Graham too. I've never been a huge fan of August. It rings a little feminine to me.

msmerymac · June 2013

I love August and I have a really bad association with the name Davis.

This. I want to like August but I am having a hard time getting on board with it. And I really like Davis as it was at the top of our list at one point.
