ashfern Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 We're having a hard time coming up with a name for this baby. We have two that we kinda like but neither is THE ONE. Our other children's names are more traditional/classic and we'd like something that would fit in with their names. Also, DH is very particular about nicknames so that's a consideration. Our oldest is Alexander so we'd like something that would complement his name. Our short list is Nicholas and Nathaniel. Throw some names at me!

happypamama Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Benjamin Christopher William Zachary We used two of those names for two of our boys. I think any of them would go well with Alexander (which I love -- such a great name!). Ben and Alex, Alex and Chris, Will and Alex, Alex and Zach. . . I also love Nathaniel and Nicholas and think they also go well with Alexander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbabe Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Oliver. Nickname Ollie. Henry. Don't know a nickname, but I love the name Henry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachyDoodle Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Love your ideas and all the suggestions so far. Nicknames for Henry are usually Hank or Harry (although personally, I like Henry better). I like classic, especially biblical, names: Daniel, Peter, Michael, Matthew, Luke. Let us know when you decide! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The first name I thought of to go with Alexander was Nathaniel. Then I read further and it was already on your list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandylubug Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I know of a lady that used presidential last names as her sons' first names. They are all lovely and classic. I thought it was a neat idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Listening in! My son's name is Zachary and we are planning for this next one to be Caleb Alexander, but it isn't set in stone. I like longer classical names as well. The suggestions so far have been great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
