Hi Swistle,
\nBack in 2015 y’all helped me narrow down our son’s name. Since then we have had a daughter and are now due with our 3rd and final baby in April- gender unknown.<\/p>\n

Here’s where we need help, we have absolutely no boy name contenders that feel right! A little about us…<\/p>\n

This baby will be joining Henry and Anna, both have first names we love with middle names that mean something to us, Franklin and Lindley. If this baby is a girl we have decided on Eleanor Josephine. For boys we are absolutely stuck! As you can see by our other 2, we like classics but are open to others, we tend to also lean a little preppier or even surnames. Our last name starts with a B and has a harsh dge sound in it.<\/p>\n

Names we have thrown around but haven’t felt like the one…
\nBenton
\nParker
\nGriffin
\nElliott
\nReid
\nWells<\/p>\n

Please help us out with any suggestions!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

With Henry and Anna, my clear favorites from your list are Elliott and Reid. (It appeals to me a little to have Eleanor\/Elliott as the finalists, just because of their similarities, but that is no reason to choose one name over another.)<\/p>\n

Henry was a finalist choice of ours, so I am trying to think of other names from my own list that might go well in this sibling group. Charles comes immediately to mind, but I’m not sure if that would work with the -dge- sound in your surname or not. But Henry, Anna, and Charlie feels like a very appealing little group to me. I feel as if they would have adventures.<\/p>\n

We also liked Simon. Henry, Anna, and Simon.<\/p>\n

And Leo. Henry, Anna, and Leo.<\/p>\n

And John. Henry, Anna, and John.<\/p>\n

Oh, and George! Henry, Anna, and George. It might not work with a -dge- in the surname, but didn’t want to not-mention it just in case actually it’s a smashing combination. George is one of my own top favorite names right now, and it’s on my Sad Not To Get To Use list.<\/p>\n

And Oliver, just to round out the set of “names we accidentally used for cats and then felt like we couldn’t use for children, which was a very unfortunate lesson learned far too late.” Henry, Anna, and Oliver.<\/p>\n

Calvin. Henry, Anna, and Calvin.<\/p>\n

Warren. Henry, Anna, and Warren.<\/p>\n

Nolan. Henry, Anna, and Nolan.<\/p>\n

Louis. Henry, Anna, and Louis.<\/p>\n

Wesley. Henry, Anna, and Wesley.<\/p>\n

Wilson. Henry, Anna, and Wilson.<\/p>\n

Davis. Henry, Anna, and Davis.<\/p>\n

Dean. Henry, Anna, and Dean.<\/p>\n

Edmund. Henry, Anna, and Edmund.<\/p>\n

Frederick. Henry, Anna, and Frederick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
