We have narrowed down our boy name list. Which do you like best? Siblings are: Callysta, Caeden, Lochlan, and Aria. Last name starts w/ M and is 2 syllables.

Sullivan Reilly (not sure if I like nn for this Sully or Van)

Rhys Sullivan

Grayson Reilly

Solon Reilly (I have liked this one for awhile, but again not sure about a nickname)

I also like Rory, kind of, and I like Declan alot but I think it may be too close to Lochlan.

Well what do ya think?

Thanks,

Andrea edd 4/30

Sullivan Reilly - I am big fan of Sullivan and I think it goes great with the other kids

Rhys Sullivan - this is nice too, but I like Sullivan more

Grayson Reilly - ok, what about Graham?

Solon Reilly - what about the nn Sol? That seems like the obvious nn to me.

Rory - ok, kind of juvenile IMO

Declan - love it, but I agree that it is too close to Lochlan

I love Sullivan (nn Sull/Saul works too) and Rhys (though I wouldn't pair it with an S mn ... runs together).

You might also like Rory as a nn for Riordan, Rowan/Rohan or even something like Ronan.

I agree that Declan is too close to Lochlan, but Donovan might be a nice alternative (similar to both Declan and Sullivan, so thought it might appeal).

HTH ;)

Rhys Sullivan is definately my favorite. Another option you might want to think about is Gray Sullivan. Not like you need more options, but just in case. Good luck.

Callysta, Caeden, Lochlan, and Aria
Last name starts w/ M and is 2 syllables

Sullivan Reilly - A fabulous combo. LOVE it. Here are some threads on Sullivan to read up on:

Rhys Sullivan- I love both names, but not together. Since Rhys ends in an "s" and Sullivan starts with one, they run together. Rhys Declan would be much better.

Grayson Reilly- Grayson is pretty trendy. I like Graham nn Gray better

Solon Reilly - I prefer Soloman

I also like Rory, but prefer it as a nn for Gregory. As a similar name to Declan, you could consider Deacon.

HTH,
-Nikki

I like Sullivan and Grayson. Both were on my top ten list at one time. DH nixed Grayson and I nixed Sullivan only because I don't like Sully as a nn... They are both great names on their own though!

I just saw Jonathan Rhys Meyers interviewed the other day and I was thinking I'd love to see Rhys used more.

Thanks for all the input it is greatly appreciated and has helped. We've narrowed it down to 2 (possibly 3) and will probably wait to see what the baby will look like. Maybe we'll be lucky and it'll be a girl, because I've had that name picked out for weeks.

thanks again,

andrea
