We are struggling with names for this little one. Our first two boys were relatively easy to name, but we\u2019ve found nothing that feels right with this little one.<\/p>\n<p>Our surname is Anderson and we currently have a Wyatt James and a Monroe Alexander. Since we have an extremely common last name for our state, we\u2019ve tried to choose names that are not as common, but still names people have heard before. We have not chosen a first or middle name, as we find middle names are easier when a first name is selected.<\/p>\n<p>Names we\u2019ve considered are Nolan, Selby, Ellis, and Felix.<\/p>\n<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of the four you mention, I particularly like Nolan, Selby, and Ellis: I like the surnamey feeling with Wyatt and Monroe.<\/p>\n<p>Selby is a name I haven&#8217;t encountered before, and I find I like to say it. I wonder if you would like Crosby.<\/p>\n<p>I like the way Selby and Ellis bring in entirely new sounds. My one hesitation with Nolan is that it repeats some of the sounds from Monroe&#8212;not at dealbreaker levels, but just enough to catch my ear. I wonder if you&#8217;d like Calvin? It&#8217;s similar to Nolan but less similar to Monroe.<\/p>\n<p>My one hesitation with Ellis is the way it flows into Anderson: it could sound like Ella Sanderson. I think for me that would be a dealbreaker.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to Ellis are Davis and Harris and Hollis. They have a similar flow issue, but Dava and Hara and Holla are not as easily mistaken for first names.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, maybe Keaton? Keaton Anderson. Wyatt, Monroe, and Keaton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello! My husband and I are expecting our third boy in a few months. We are struggling with names for this little one.
