Of a baby boy named Henry Luke with big sister Eva and big brother Erik???? Eva, Erik and Henry? We are really leaning to this name and I think Erik and Henry sound okay for brothers but with all three I'm just not sure. Please give me your opinion of what you would think!

TIA! (sorry if you have already read a post from me on this...I'm just losing sleep over this!! We have the perfect girl name if it is a girl and I want feel as comfortable w/ the boy's name but just can't seem to)

I would think his parents have good taste! Henry Luke is a very nice name, and it goes well with Eva and Erik.

Tbh I said Eva, Erik and Enery...to me Henry just doesn't *flow* with the other two names..

How about Emory? same sound but flows w/Eva and Erik...

I might be a bad one to post on this, because I'm just not a fan of the name Henry. I just feel that when I was a little kid there were lots of middle-aged men named that. I'm in my 40s and don't even know many Henry's my own age. anyhow, I realize it has come back somewhat, but aside from dislike of it, I think it doesn't fit with Eva and Erik. I LOVE the name Erik.

It sounds as though you don't want to stick with the E's. I know many families where two are the same and one is different, so that's not that big a deal. Evan would be too close to Eva. Ethan could work if you really wanted another E.

here are a couple names that start with other letters that I think would fit with Eva and Erik if you aren't positive about Henry. you seem to like Short, three or four letters, one or two syllables. I'll go up to maybe six letters, no more than two syllables.

these are some that either start with a vowel like Eva and Erik or if not a vowel, a softer-side consonant:

Aiden, Aaron, Chase, Chad, Heath, Holden, Hunter, Jared, Joel, Jaden, Luke, Landon, Owen, Rory, Rhett, Ryan, Shayne.

harder consonants: Brent, Conner, Colin, Colton, Dustin, Dwight, Dylan, Garrett, Keegan, Mark or Marcus, Mason, Noah, Parker, Tanner, Trevor.

good luck
