Hello! We are at a baby naming stand still! We are pregnant with our third and do not know the sex. We do know if it’s a girl, her name will be Maura Lotenia nn Lottie (first name is my MIL and second is my middle and is Cherokee for flower- so my family says). This has been our girl name every pregnancy. If we had more than one girl the other names would have been Roslyn Adele and Fiona Ruth- all honor names. My name is Azure and my husband’s name is Patrick J@hn.
\nWe have two boys named Theodore and Edwin middle name Michael. Third boy will also have middle name Michael- honoring a friend who passed. Both go by their full first name the majority of the time.
\nMy husband and I love the name Simon, but after naming Theodore we didn’t think we could do it.
\nOther names we have considered:
\nFranklin (my favorite, husband doesn’t like)
\nThomas (family name on both sides and leader until- my Dad passed away this Sept. It was his middle name, but it would be awkward for it to be viewed as specifically honoring him as our relationship was complicated)
\nPhillip
\nStanley
\nLawrence
\nLouis<\/p>\n

I have been reading your blog for 4 years since trying to name my first! I’m hoping that you or a reader can suggest something old fashioned, but fresh, that will catch my husband’s interest!
\nThanks! Oh and due date is Feb 19!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

I particularly love Louis from your list; that’s on my own “sad I won’t get a chance to use it” list.<\/p>\n

Another such name on my list is Harvey. Theodore, Edwin, and Harvey.<\/p>\n

I’d also suggest Frederick, especially since you mostly use full names. Theodore, Edwin, and Fredrick.<\/p>\n

The -bert names are starting to meet that “old-fashioned and fresh” mark for me: one of my kids had a Robert in class last year, and I’m a fan of the name Albert. Theodore, Edwin, and Robert. Theodore, Edwin, and Albert.<\/p>\n

I also find the name Alfred very appealing. Theodore, Edwin, and Alfred.<\/p>\n

I think Warren fits the bill perfectly, except I’m not sure how it sounds with Edwin; I think there may be too many sounds in common.<\/p>\n

I’m fond of Gordon; not only do I like the name, but it taps into pleasant Sesame Street memories. Theodore, Edwin, and Gordon.<\/p>\n

I had never much considered the name Roger until I saw somewhere that Hodge used to be a nickname for it. HODGE. That is so cute. Theodore, Edwin, and Roger.<\/p>\n

I might be ready to hear Douglas again, especially in full form like that. Theodore, Edwin, and Douglas.<\/p>\n

Howard once seemed impossibly old-mannish to me, but now it’s starting to budge back into view. Theodore, Edwin, and Howard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Name update:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baby name update!
\nOur Third baby BOY was born at the end of February… We decided on Franklin Michael for the name!
\nWe were between that and Donal (which was not on my original list).
\nIf we ever have another, I’ll be writing for an opinion on Donal as a name! Thanks for all your help and suggestions!
\nAzure
