Hello,<\/p>\n

I\u2019m due with our second child in March. We do not know the gender yet. My husband and I have a girl\u2019s name picked out but we are struggling to pick a boy\u2019s name. Our first child is a boy so I think that\u2019s why it\u2019s been harder to decide on a baby boy name for our second.<\/p>\n

Our son\u2019s name is Judah Thomas. Judah holds significant meaning for us as it means \u201cpraise.\u201d And Thomas is my husband\u2019s middle name as well as a family name on my side.<\/p>\n

We want our children to have names with significant meaning to us. We plan to have at least three children. And I want our children\u2019s names to sound good when said together.<\/p>\n

I also don\u2019t like nicknames. I don\u2019t want to name them something and then hope they will go by a shorter name.<\/p>\n

The girl name we have decided on is Mae Elise. My birthday month is May and the Hebrew meaning of May is \u201cgift from God or wished-for child.\u201d My husband chose the middle name Elise and I like the flow of the name Mae Elise Beadle.<\/p>\n

For boy names, I like strong but shorter, two-syllable names. I also prefer names with a \u201csoft\u201d sound like Judah as opposed to a name like Zeke. The middle name will be James (after my grandfather). Here is the list we are considering:<\/p>\n

Milo- This is my husband\u2019s favorite and while I like it, I\u2019m afraid it\u2019s becoming too popular. I\u2019m also not sure of the combo of Judah and Milo.<\/p>\n

Ezra- A Biblical name that means \u201chelper.\u201d I\u2019m concerned the pair of Ezr(a) and Jud(ah) sounds alike but the endings are spelled differently which bothers me. Also, will our third child need the -a or -ah ending?<\/p>\n

Asher- Another Biblical name meaning \u201cblessed, happy.\u201d No concerns about the name I\u2019m just not sure if I\u2019m sold on it.<\/p>\n

Boden- Both my husband & father-in-law have the double B (first & last). My husband\u2019s name is Benjamin Beadle. We like the idea of having a double B name to keep the tradition.<\/p>\n

Lennon- My father\u2019s name is Leonard (called Lenny) so we like the idea of honoring my dad with the first name. My concern is people may associated Lennon Beadle with John Lennon from the Beatles (which sounds like our last name). We were a bit worried about this with our first son also with Judah being close to Jude (\u201cHey Jude\u201d by the Beatles) but no one has made that connection.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your help! I look forward to your thoughts.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nSadie Beadle<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Generally I don’t turn my hand to questions that emphasize the meanings of names: it’s not a subject I know much about. But I realized this morning that then commenters who DO know a lot about name meanings hardly ever get to talk about them.<\/p>\n

I did want to say that Mae Beadle sounds in my head like May Beetle—similar to June Bug. It’s a whimsical connection and perhaps not one that would be common for people to make, but it’s a potential hazard with noun names.<\/p>\n

Hello,<\/p>\n

Just a follow up! <\/p>\n

Asher James was born March 22, 2019 at 4:01 am. Thank you for submitting my original post. The feedback was helpful & we think Asher is the perfect name for our second son.
