We've been struggling to settle down on a name that we both love for baby #2. We have a small list going but for the most part... none of the names feel like his name. You know? 

 

Of course, we have our son Archer Cohen Bear "Archie". We will most likely only use one middle name for this child. My personal preference is the name has to have a nick name option. 

 

I'd really love any suggestions... I've crossed off a good hundred names in the search thus far.

 

My taste is quite different from his. I like names like:

Dashiell "Dash"
Sullivan "Sully"

Phineas "Finn" 

Wallace "Wally" 

Jonas "Joey"

Hayes 

Ezra 

Charles/ Charlie 

Freddie

Reid 

Declan

Maddox 

Lachlan 

Wilder 

 

His name taste looks more like this: 

Matthew "Matt" 

Warren

Harrison

Levi

Jericho 

Carson

Zachary 

Hunter 

Jacob

Riley 

 

** These names are names he's suggested more than once in the past five years but not necessarily recently. So they may not be entirely accurate or right now but I imagine they're still close-ish

 

And we're sort of agreed on these names (including ones that got rejected) :

Bennett "Ben" (I like but I don't feel it's the one)

Whitman "Whit" (only a maybe)

Rowan (rejected being it rhymes with our sons middle name, but still gives an idea of our name tastes <3 )

William (MN only)

Noah (MN only)

Reynold "Ren" (again, its nice and I'm considering but my heart doesn't feel all in)

Hawthorne (nick name ideas are my draw back. I would have to find "normal"ish nick name to match.. thus far I've only come up with Hawk or Thor.. which I like but I'd want something more familiar)

Sterling (rejected, because it'd be too strong of a reference towards the FX cartoon paired with Archer's name ). 

Finch (MN only)

Fraiser (MN only)

Theodore "Teddy" (both of us like it, it's just not a top contender. Plus the surname starts with the "ed" sound so it'd be a tad rhymey)

Quinn (MN only)

 

I think I could compromise a little on his names in that I'd be fine to use some of them as middle names (Riley, Harrison, Levi, maybe Jacob). I also attempted to compromise through finding a name with a similar nick name (ie Matteo instead of Matthew) but it was a no go.

I particularly like w/ Archer (Archie) -

Sullivan (Sully)

Jonas (Joey)

some fresh ideas -

Archer and Griffin "Finn"

Archer and Levi "Lee"

Archer and Matthias "Matt"

Archer and Lawrence "Lawry"

Archer and Elias "Eli"

Archer and Isaac "Ike"

Archer and Malachi "Kai"

Archer and Everett "Rhett"

Archer and Benson "Ben"

Archer and Jameson "Jamie"

Archer and Cormac "Mac"

Archer and Judson "Judd"

Archer and Cooper "Coop"

Archer and Cassian "Cash"

Archer and Beckett "Beck"

Archer and Elliot "Eli"

Archer and Finnegan "Finn"

Archer and Greyson "Grey"

Archer and Reuben "Ben"

Archer and Ronan "Ro"

Archer and Titus "Ty"

Archer and Weston "Wes"

LOL, you must have missed the Announcement in the Community Lounge: http://www.babynameg...showtopic=31805

 

I will come back with some more suggestions when I have more time.  Right now I'm liking Archie & Ren..maybe Ren could work as a nn for Lawrence or Camren, Warren, Soren, Trenton?

[Remy Hadley]

I am! Yeah, I left an announcement recently on the community lounge   I'm 5 months with a little boy! <3 

 

I like Matthias, Lawrence, Malachi, Cooper, Elliot, Finnegan, and Ronan. Mike already vito'd Elliot, Finnegan, and Ronan. I am deciding whether I like would use Cooper, as it'd be a little matchy to have two -er ending boys names. I prefer to avoid obvious themes. I can't decide if Malachi is one I'd use but I could see myself warm up to it. Or maybe even Malcolm? Oh and Katie I really like Ren for Lawrence too! Maybe I could compromise on using Warren and have the nick name Ren. I'll throw them all at Mike and see what he says, anyway. The more yes and no's I get the better I can try and narrow something down..  

 

Thanks!

Congratulations!

I love all Finn names but Mike has pretty much said no to all of them, except plain ol' Finn and Finch (but Finch only as a middle). He kinda likes Finnick as well but we're unsure if we'd actually use that. 

 

I asked Mike and he said Graham and Cooper are keepers  So yay progress! <3 

 

I don't care for Beckett for some reason. Reuben makes me think the sandwich. Beau is super handsome but.. Archer and Beau is a tad theme like 

 

I am on the fence with Desmond, Sebastian, and Holden. Sebastian has had awkward associations for me for so long, but maybe I can move past it. I adore "ash" names and Sebastian could be called Bash. I love Holden due to an association but not sure if I'd use it myself.

Oh Katie I like,

 

Gilbert

Hugo

Rufus 

Conrad

Truman

I wish "ed" names didn't clash with Mike's surname as I really like Eddie names lately. <3 Mike has already said no to Hugo, Truman, Norris, and Newton. Do you think Rufus is too much of a dog name? I really like it a lot but worry about teasing potential? I feel like Gilbert will get a no but I'll ask anyway.. Its cute <3

[Katie-Nana]

No I dont think Rufus is too much of a dog name anymore.
