My second baby boy is due in a month and my husband and I can\u2019t come up with any names we love, or even really like-a-lot. Our last name sounds like C@nyon but with a G, and we have an older boy and girl whose names came quite easily to us and were chosen months in advance: Eliza Willow and Lincoln Andrew. This will be our last child and we both feel like we used the best names already, and are seriously stuck. Middle name will most likely be Lamar as a family honor name. I\u2019m worried that this baby will be born nameless, and we will feel pressure to name him quickly, and come to regret it. Please help us name Eliza and Lincoln\u2019s brother!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some names that we have both agreed on that we \u201cdon\u2019t hate\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>Augustus<br \/>\nAnderson<br \/>\nHolden<br \/>\nHamilton<br \/>\nGrant<br \/>\nZane<br \/>\nDaxton<br \/>\nEverett<\/p>\n<p>We are very open to any suggestions! Please help ! :)<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<br \/>\nMama C@nyon with a G<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I see a lot of surnamey names on your list, and I think that&#8217;s a nice way to go. Some surnames give me an immediate historical\/political association when used with Lincoln: Hamilton and Grant leap out as examples. That can be a plus or a minus, depending on what you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>My absolute top favorite from your list is Everett. I love it. Eliza, Lincoln, and Everett. HEART EYES. I also really like Anderson.

I hope if you spot any that seem really Off, such as if I&#8217;ve inadvertently suggested a name connected with pro-slavery or whatever, I hope you won&#8217;t feel shy about saying so.
