What goes with Leo

Hi there, I am new to posting to message boards, but I have been lurking here for the past couple days and really need some opinions. I am waiting for a new computer and email address so I haven't registered here yet.(^jessw12^) is a good friend and long time member who signed me in so I could make a post ( just in case you recognize the username, I'm not even sure if she posted here.)

I have always loved the name Leo, but I never thought it would fly with DH, then the other day, while we were watching Will and Grace, he said he thought it would be cute! So, I think I need to work with this. My question is, if we use Leo this time and we have more sons in the future, what names would sound good with Leo for brothers? I think I could match girls names and Leo well, but I'm not sure about boys.
I also love, love, love Jack. DH doesn't want to use it now, he says maybe in the future, but most likely only so I will stop bringing it up. Could Leo and Jack be brothers? or are they too different of styles? And if not Jack what names would sound good for "Leo's" little brother or brothers?
We are young and don't have any other children, but we plan to have about 4, depending on how things go. We want to use one of David/James/Shane or Joseph for this little guys middle name and save the others for if there are more boys in our future, or maybe use two middle names.

other names we like for now or later.

Aaron- my fave, after Leo and Jack
Connor
Tyler
Greyson
Alexander
Max - I don't know about Maxwell or any of the others.
Zachary
Nathan
Carter
Dominic
I like Rafe, but none of the full names, and I wouldnt use just Rafe :S
we use to love Aiden and Caden, but.... I can see from lurking and all the .adens I know that it can't happen
I like Bennett, don't know about DH's feelings there

and I don't know there are a few more we like but aren't sure of that I can't think of , but none seem like Leo and I don't like any as much as Leo. If we have 3 boys after our Leo, we need some names that will sound good with it.
I hope that all makes sense... got any advice or ideas for me :)

Thanks.

Hi,


I would HIGHLY recommend "The Baby Name Wizard" book by Laura Wattenberg.

I like Leo, but would skip Jack with it due to the Will and Grace connection--two names from the same show, you know. But I think Dominic would be a great brother name. I'd also see Sebastian, Dashiell, Rafe or Saul for brothers.
