Hi Swistle,<\/p>\n

My boyfriend and I are expecting our baby boy within a couple weeks here! Due date is feb. 4th, but are most likely going to be induced before. And are still hesitant on a name. Last name “Grayler” but spelled a little differently.<\/p>\n

So far we really like “C” names. Our top three are Chase, Crosby, and Carter. I really would like the middle name to be Maxwell, but am open for other suggestions that fit! Other names I have considered are Nolan and Gavin. For Nolan, I wasn’t sure if it was too “baby-like” and may not fit an older adult. As for Gavin, I wasn’t sure about two G’s- “Gavin Grayler”. We are a huge hockey family, both sides.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Does the middle name Maxwell fit better for certain names? Does “Gavin Grayler” sound a little off with the two G’s?<\/p>\n

Thank you!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alliteration is a matter of taste: some people do it deliberately, and some people avoid it, and everyone else is somewhere in between. I don’t see anything wrong with Gavin Grayler if you like it.<\/p>\n

Nolan doesn’t strike me as being baby-like at all. I haven’t known any adult Nolans yet, but I’d expect the name to work very well.<\/p>\n

Of the names on your list, Nolan is my favorite with Maxwell. However, I think all of the names work fine with it: none of them strike me as NOT working with Maxwell.<\/p>\n

My least favorite with your surname is Carter: the repeated -er with your surname sounds a little off to me. But this is another matter of taste: some people will like the way the repeated sound ties the two names together. I think I would prefer Carson: Carson Maxwell Grayler.<\/p>\n

I also find I have a little trouble saying Crosby Grayler. I wonder if it’s the Cr\/Gr? I think I would prefer Colby: Colby Maxwell Grayler. I also like Corbin Maxwell Grayler.<\/p>\n

My top favorite of all the options is Nolan Maxwell Grayler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
