Ok, well we had decided on a name, Gabriel William James. We both love the name but when we told a no-longer-friend the name, we found out her sons name is James Gabriel. So, we cannot continue with this name. Here are some names I've come up with. Let me know what you think. The mn will be William James. Our daughter's name is Lena and we would like something to match well with her name. Thanks!!!


Logan, Benjamin, Nathaniel, Rhett, Myles, Owen, Graham, Ethan, Colin, Ryan, Reid, Zane, Drake, Simon, Nicholas, Elliot, Grant, Parker, Jefferson and Carter.

I'm kinda partial to Benjamin, as my son is Benjamin David.

I think Zane and Reid work well with William James.

With Lena, I think Simon William James is absolutely wonderful! I also really Benjamin, Grant, and Owen.

If she isn't your friend anymore, then why can't you go ahead with Gabriel? Also, Gabriel is just the middle name of the boy, so it doesn't seem like it would be too confusing. If you really love Gabriel, I would go ahead and use it.

Anyway, with Lena, I like almost all of your names...my favorites are Elliott and Benjamin, though. The only problem with Elliott would be the EW initials...not sure if this bothers you.

Logan and Ethan are too popular for me to really get into, but they are nice names. Drake is probably the only name on your list that I actually dislike...it just seems really harsh-sounding to me and honestly I picture a little bully when I think of the name. JMO. I love Myles but I prefer Miles for the spelling. Nathaniel is nice too but maybe close to Lena. Zane seems like a nickname for Alexander to me, I am not sure if I would use it on its own. Carter is cute...one of my favorite surnames/first names.

Benjamin, Logan, Nicholas, Ethan and Nathaniel are WAY too common to go with such an uncommon name as Lena, IMO =)

I say don't let an ex-friend influence the name of your child.

My son is a Simon and we love the name. Unique but not too far out there!

I think that Colin goes the best with Lena (which I like very much) -- good luck!
