So here are some names we have been throwing around. Edward is husband's and his father's middle name so that is a must. We are looking for something handsome, masculine, yet cute for a baby boy. For a girl we are looking for something unique and stunning. I'd say we are kind of a small town modern country type couple... :) Whatcha think and also open for other suggestions...?

 

BOY NAME

Bentley Edward

Parker Edward

Benson Edward

 

GIRL NAME

Hartley Mae or Hartley Rae

Harper Mae or Harper Rae

Brinley Mae or Brinley Rae

    None of your boy names are really my style.  They're not bad, just nms.  I like Parker best though.  I like Harper Mae best for a girl, I think.  I really like Harper. :)

    Bentley is the only one that I think goes with Edward. I LOVE Parker, but not with Edward, however I know you are set on it. For girls, I like Harper Rae the most :)

    All sound very stunning to me. Nothing overused like McKenzie or Payton or whatever other awful "trendy" names people are coming up with.

    Well the other middle names that could be used are Arthur, Vernon, and Floyd... all are old names but they are the grandpa's names. I think they're too old and doesn't go well with anything. Thoughts?

    Sorry, I'm not of much help, we have very different styles. All of these names sound pretentious to me.

    If I had to say, I'd choose Parker out of the boys and Harper for the girls.

    I was going to say the opposite. They sound trendy and are trying way, way too hard. Bentley is an especially "small town" name to me.

    I like... Parker Benson, but it seems like you are set on Edward :)  Also love Harper Mae...we had put this as a contender before we found out it was a boy! (which BTW, Parker is on our boy list, too ;) )

    I hate all of the girl names...I wouldn't describe them as "stunning."  I think they're more "cutesy" or "trendy."

    For the boys, I could get on board with Benson, but I hate hate Bentley and don't like Parker.  It's strange to me that you're looking for a "cute" name for a boy.  You know he's going to be an adult for most of his life, right?

    Boys: .....Edward. Please, just name him Edward.

    Girs: Harper is by and far the best of the bunch, and I prefer Mae a gazillion times over Rae.

    I would like Benjamin or Bennett Edward..  Bentley are Parker are really nms I don't think they are strong masculine names at all sorry

    Harper would be the girl name I would chose from your list- the others look made up and I can't imagine them on a grown woman

    Parker Edward

    and

    Harper Mae

    Harper Rae  is hard to say become there is an "r" both at the end of the first and beginning of the second name.  So the names run in to each other
