Stumped by Names
by ludwigmomma on Fri Nov 06, 2009 11:53 pm
Looking for a trong boy name that has a "ck" sound in the name and doesn't end in "-son". My husband really loves Brooks, but I am having a hard time saying out loud "those are Brooks' toys"--would you say this-- Brooks' toys or this-- Brooks's (emphasizing the "s" for possession) Am I thinking about this too much? It makes me want to axe the name altogether.
I mentioned the name Merrick tonight to my husband and he wasn't too keen. We had one boy name for my son so it was easy to choose. Not so easy this time around. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. :)

I think that Brooks is great, but if the s ending bothers you, I think it's something important to consider.
K sounds:
Atticus (s ending, though)
Alaric
Breckin
Broderick
Baxter
Calvin
Conrad
Cashel
Cormac
Declan
Dexter
Felix (s sound at the end, though)
Frederick
Franklin
Isaac
Jack
Kellan
Luke
Lachlan
Maxfield
Maxwell
Macaulay
Nicholas (s, though)
Patrick
Paxton
Quinlan
Victor
Walker
I love the Beckett suggestion!
Good luck! :-)
