Sibling for Talon??

Hey Everyone!

I am just entering my second trimester with my second little kiddo, and have started the name hunt. We don't know what we are having yet, but I have a little feeling it's another boy! If it is a girl, we already have two girls names picked out, and can't decide between :

Averie Morgan
or
Johanna Marie (Johanna was my great-grandmothers name, and Marie is my middle name)

What do you think?

Anyways, our son's name is Talon Lee. We like unique names, but I am starting to enjoy the old fashion names as well. I figure we can't put a plain jane name w/ Talon, it wouldn't be fair! haha

Any boy name ideas you think to go along w/ Talon would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks so much!

Hi Amanda -


I think I would use Johanna Marie b/c of family connections.


Averie Morgan is ok. I also like Averianne Elise or Averianne Morgan or Averianne Marie

I like Johanna Marie a lot, although both names are pretty. I just haven't seen Johanna on any kids lately and I like that it has family value. Averie is getting quite popular.
As for boys, I like Talon and Wyatt. You could also consider Colt, Breckin, Drew, Austin, Tarik, and James nn Jem.

Hi Amanda,

Congrats on surviving the first trimester :)

Both of your girls' names are lovely, but I would definitely be looking for a name that no one will mistake for a boy, because Talon is so unisex. If someone told me they had a boy and a girl called Talon and Avery, I really wouldn't know which was which, although they're both fine names. So, Johanna gets my vote :)

Likewise, for a boy, I would probably avoid really traditional male names like William, James etc. just because hearing the two names together people might think Talon was a girl.

Sawyer and Rowan (I particularly like this with Talon, they're both nature-y!) spring to mind for boys's names for you.

HTH,
Jodi

Congrats! I ADORE the name Johanna. An underused, international beauty!!! That would definitely get my vote. It's been in my personal top ten for 15 years, and keep in mind, during all of that time I've been an avid name collector!!!

Boy names to go with Talon-

The following are actually pre-1900s. Just like Johanna they are old, but somehow have a great, hip ring to them, IMO-

Leander, Bennett, Lorimer, Emil, Everett, Winfield, Jess, Jasper, Marshall, Archer, Miles, Chas, Monroe, Emery, Mose, Clark, Lorenzo, Ezra, Lucian, Ambrose, Chauncey, Judson, Fletcher, Cassius, Sterling, Axel, Rollin, Dorsey

Maybe even these-

Harmon, Arthur, Ira, Chester, Leo, Felix, Reuben, Gordon, Ike, Forrest, Emmett

And these are some I just really like with Talon-
Talon & Rhett
Talon & Calder
Talon & Johannes
Talon & Milo
Talon & Gardner
Talon & Hartley
Talon & Shaw
Talon & Phoenix
Talon & Channing
Talon & Jantzen
Talon & Cormac
Talon & Pierce
Talon & Calvert
Talon & Quincy
Talon & Abraham (Abe or Bram)
Talon & Stian (stee-uhn)
Talon & Brody
Talon & Brogan
Talon & Spears
Talon & Ross
Talon & Ramsey
Talon & Gareth
Talon & Kilian
Talon & Pierson
Talon & Gray
Talon & Lev

Let us know what you think! Best wishes, Ginger

I like Teagan for a boy name. Sounds great with Talon.
