Need a boy's first name...challenge ; )

This is my third (and last child), my husband's first, a little boy.

My son's are named:

Nikolas Broderick

Nathan Riley

wouldn't mind "sticking" with the "N" theme, but haven't found many "good" ones left.

For this baby, the middle and last names will be

___________ Anthony Mancini

We want to avoid an italian first name, like non-standard names, and are hoping for a name that symbolizes our unity as a new family...

hence, sticking to the "N"s, to share common thread with his older brothers, or a name that is symbolic in the meaning of our new family, or, I like the name Haydenn (working on a spelling that contains the first letter of each of our names, David, Heather, Nikolas & Nathan) so the baby's name comes in part from all of us or any other suggestions along these lines...

Any thoughts?? Thank you!!

Niles Anthony Mancini
Nigel Anthony Mancini
Noah Anthony Mancini

Harrison Anthony Mancini
Garrett Anthony Mancini
Gavin Anthony Mancini
Roman Anthony Mancini
Paul Anthony Mancini ** like(nice sounding)
Dominic Anthony Mancini** like(nice sounding)

I like Noah the best of the Ns if you stay with Ns. It's not a very deep letter of names. Nolan is OK, I'm not overly crazy for it. Noah Anthony Mancini sounds OK together.

I don't like your spelling of Haydenn ending in that double N at all. there's just no purpose there to the double N.

but, bigger concern is use of Hayden by girls. Your Nick and Nate have "all-boy" names. I know little girl Hayden's personally, realize it's used by boys, but don't know a single one personally

If you can't find a "N" that you like, I think it'd be better to go with something more similar in style then to Nikolas (Nick) and Nathaniel (Nate) - those are more traditional/classic with a nickname: Andrew (Andy), Benjamin (Ben), Christopher (Chris), Douglas (Doug), Daniel (Dan), Gregory (Greg), Joshua (Josh), Jeffrey (Jeff), Lucas (Luke), Matthew (Matt), Michael (Mike), Timothy (Tim), Zachary (Zack)

good luck

How about Neal Anthony Mancini? It will keep with the "N" theme.

Good Luck!

Noah Anthony Mancini (Noah means peaceful,restful)
Nolan Anthony Mancini (Nolan means famous;noble)

I would stick to an "N" name since your other two boys have "N" names.

I like Hayden a lot, but only with one N. I don't know any girl or boy Haydens, and we would have considered it for a boy if our last name didn't start with H.

I also like the idea of using another traditional name like Matthew, Aaron, Kevin, Michael, etc.

Here are some other N names I found:
Nelson
Noah
Nolan
Neil/Neal
Norman
Nevin
Norton

There really aren't many N names for boys out there!

I vote for another "N" name: Newlin
It's an old Welsh name that means "new pond".
A bit of the new that brings you all together.
Newlin Anthony Mancini

Neill or Noel (No-uhl, not No-elle) would be good.


I would definitely use an N name. Kids are insecure and there might be the possibility that your older sons might think the new baby is more special, or different.


Good luck!

I think a really nice name that would start with N and have the middle of Nikolas, and the end of Nathan is ...Nolan. "Nolan Anthony Mancini" sounds really nice to me:)
