Boy name - Same style
| Tue, 02-21-2006 - 8:05am |
My husband and I are expecting our second in August. If we have a girl, we have already chosen Helen Harper Scout Taylor (LN Ellis). She will go by Harper. But, we are stumped with the boys name. Our son's name is Rhett Eli Aloysius and we can't find a name that is as masculin and straight-forward as Rhett. I am looking for something that isn't common or trendy sounding. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well, I'm quite partial to Harper
I love Finn! One of my best friend's has a son named Finian nn Finn, so obviously that's out me, but I still love it. And Heathcliff nn Heath is really growing on me.
Boys names are much harder for me than girls names. My girls names have been set in stone for ages (Caroline Harper, named after my grandmother and Harper Lee; and Eleanor Blythe,
Here are some that my husband and I had on our list until we decided on a name...
Flynn
Walker
Conrad
Brooks
Cash
Harrison
Jameson
Linden
Miller
Just some ideas...... good luck!

Hi there. Congrats on your second baby!
Rhett is a very handsome name; great work there. Harper is also pretty cute, although I'm not a fan of Helen. Family name? I'd personally go w/Harper Helen Taylor Scout Ellis to avoid confusion. Actually, I'd go w/only the two mns. Three is a bit much, & Rhett only has two.
Anyway, here are some boy suggestions for you:
Atticus-I'm serious! You seem to like that book quite a bit, & Atticus is a fabulous name. Atticus Ellis is a bit hissy, but it is a cool name.
Abbott
Alden
Alec
Benton-Although Ben is really popular.
Brant
Clark
Emerick
Flynn
Flint
Finn
Graham
Grant
Grey/Gray
Gus-Or August(us) nn Gus, although I don't care for this w/Ellis either.
Jude
Jem-I love it! Jeremy nn Jem would be good too.
Kurt-I like Curtis too, but CurtiS ElliS is not so good.
Nolan
Norman/Norm
Pierce-Ah, it also has an S sound.
Rafe
Stewart
Sebastian/Satch
Thatcher/Thatch
Tucker/Tuck
Thane
Tate
Weston/West
Zev
Zeb

I admit that four names is quite a few, but I don't really see it as a problem. It has the same number of syll. as my son though it is one name more. Helen will never be used, except for forms and is in honor of a family member. Both of the middle names Scout and Taylor are after my deceased student, Scott Taylor. I don't really understand people's concerns with middle names affecting kids. Honestly, how many times in your adult life has anyone even known or asked your middle name? Harper would be able to decide whether to use just Harper professionally or H. Harper or all four. I don't think it is going to scar her in anyway. If anything, I think it will give her pride to know that she was named after two special people.
That name is pretty much locked in, but I really need some help with boys names or the problem won't be too many names...it will be him having to sign his name as X for the rest of his life.
But thanks for your opinion.
