[jbanek]

Need help with choosing best name for boy#3. What are your thoughts?
Brothers names are Brendan Austin and Colten Abel Banek.
Baby will be here on the 4th!
We have narrowed it down to
Dalton
Kellan.
callum
Julian

Any thoughts, suggestions or MN ideas?
Thanks!

Dalton is my favorite though I'd say Julian or Kellan goes best with your other boys names. Dalton rhymes a bit with Colten. That doesn't bother me but it may bother you.

I am voting for Julian because I really like the name Jules Banek.

Julian Adair

I like Callum for the contrast of it's ending with Brendan and Colten while still sounding similiar.

Some suggestions for middle names:
Callum Aaron
Callum Adler
Callum Aidan
Callum Archer
Callum Asher
Callum Avery
Callum Dean
Callum Declan
Callum Gage
Callum Granger
Callum Joel
Callum Justus
Callum Miles
Callum Mitchell
Callum Reed
Callum Robert
Callum Simon

I vote for Julian. I like the name, and also like the idea of all three boys having different (their own) first initial.

Julian Ross Banek
Julian Seth Banek
Julian Scott Banek
Julian Thomas Banek

I like Callum for the contrast of it's ending with Brendan and Colten while still sounding similiar.

This was the exact same thing I was thinking. I think Callum is a great choice, and I also like the combo Callum Adler, (as also suggested by this poster.) I like the idea of continuing 'A' names as middle name choices. An easy way to carry on a pattern without it being super obvious. But it can still be a meaningful tradition.

Callum Adler!

Julian Adler!

Welcome to Nameberry!


My recommendation is ...

B - brendAN [austiN]
C - coltEN [abeL]
D - dawsON [adaM]

... a sibset comprised of two-syllable names with a similar feel which end in "an", "en" and "on".


P.S. I feel Dalton is too similar to Colten, but I don't recommend Julian because of its three-syllable length [and it being a different style than Brendan and Colten], nor Callum nor Kellan because Colten's name has a "c"/"k" sound.

Of the choices, I like Dalton the best (very cool name), but agree with others that it's very similar to Colton/Colten. So if you really like it, maybe something similar but that doesn't sound so much like Colten -- Dawson, for example.
