please help!

Need to find a boys name i love as much as my first son, Max.

so far we like:

Leo - ive been seeing this a lot lately. is it trendy? i think of it as sort of a classic, just dont want to give my son anything that will become too popular.
Eli
Theo/Teddy - nickname for Theodore? I dont really like Theodore though - so probably just Theo on its own
Jonah - husband isnt really into this one
Jonas - he likes this one only a little more than Jonah
Tucker - nn Tuck
Sam - I dont really like Samuel
Grady


middle name will be Michael. Last name Brown.


what names do you like the best? what sounds best with big brother Max? michael is a family name - so its more important to me to be used regardless of flow or how it may sound. ( i say this because nothing seems to sound good with either names!)


i need help! i dont feel like anything is "right" so any other suggestions are welcome!



thanks so much!

I think Theo stands well on its own and I love Tucker! What about something like Samson instead of Samuel?

[lindseywhite03]

I like Leo and theo and though I never thought I'd say this... Teddy! I reFIFA book recently where the main character names her son Theodore but he is only called teddy. It grew on me

[namenerdz]

thank you! and i like Samson as another way to get to Sam, thanks for the suggestion!

I think Grady goes the best with Max.

I think Sam and max is very cute,

My favorite from your list is Theo.
Leo is cute and goes great with Max. It's gaining popularity but I think of it as more old fashioned rather than trendy.
Eli- I really like this name.
Tucker rhymes with a swear word, so to me it's just setting a kid up for teasing.
Jonas- It just reminds me of the Jonas brothers.
Sam- I like it as a nickname for Samuel. Seems kind of plain on it's own.
Grady- don't like it
other ideas-
Levi
Trent
Josiah
Owen
Trevor
Wyatt

With Max, I like...

1 Theo - A spunky name that can stand of its own. Max and Theo sound like "natural" brothers to me.

2 Leo - I love this strong and handsome name. It has a long history to back it up too (saints and popes). Max and Leo are a three-letter sibling powerhouse!

4 Eli - A Biblical gem and I like Max and Eli together.

5 Sam - this name goes well with Max but having a Max and Sam as siblings is kind of predictable. Sam Michael Brown would be a pretty common name too, wouldn't it?

Other Suggestions


Hugo/Hugh
Alec
Will/Willem
Harvey
Jude
Oscar
Luke/Lucas
Aldo
Noel
Jake
Ned
Otto
Adam

thank you!

harvey is actually another name I liked.

love luke/lucas but cant use it because of its use by a close family member.

I agree that Max and Leo or Max and Theo sound like a great sibet - these are probably my two top names. thank you!

I think we have the same naming style! I have a Teddy (Edward) and a Max (Maxwell), everyone always comments on how their names compliment each other, so my pick would have to be Teddy! I also have an Gus (August) and everyone loves the three together as well. But my opinions on all your names:

Leo - I think this is very classic, and yes it is becoming more common but not too common...It's near the top of my list to so I love it!
Eli- I like this as a shortened name for Elijah but not really by its self.
Theo/Teddy - I'm not a huge fan of Theo...but I adore Teddy obviously.
Jonah - Don't love it but I like it much more than Jonas...I don't think it goes with Max that well.
Jonas - Don't like it at all really.
Tucker - This is really cute...my third pick.
Sam - I don't really like Sam on it's own but Sam and Max sound ok together.
Grady- My least favourite of your choices.

Hope I helped a little bit....other names that I am considering that might work for you could be:
Harry
Hugo
Oscar
Liam
Henry
Lucas
or even Gus ahah

Just suggestions hope you find the perfect name for your bub!
