Hey Swistle!<\/p>\n

I am going to have my third baby boy in October. Our last name is Alweiss (rhymes will all-ice). His older brothers are Dylan Ryker and Ronan Hunter. So we kind of have a subtle Celtic theme going on. I have a list of names I\u2019m digging- but haven\u2019t committed to any of them. My husband likes Carver and I do not. I like the name Quinn as a middle name but it depends on the first name, if it flows or not. So, Quinn isn\u2019t an absolute. This is my list thus far:<\/p>\n

Crew
\nRaven
\nHarlan
\nMadden
\nKnox
\nLyric
\nKillian
\nSoren
\nDenver
\nJericho (nickname Echo)
\nKylo
\nHayes
\nPhoenix Quinn<\/p>\n

I love Hayes as a potential middle name but it\u2019s my cousin\u2019s husband\u2019s last name and I\u2019m not sure if that\u2019s a weird choice.<\/p>\n

What name (doesn\u2019t have to come from my list) do you think sounds best with Dylan and Ronan? They commonly go by \u201cDilly and Ro\u201d too. I need help desperately!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think your husband’s favored name Carver goes well with Ryker and Hunter and could be offered as the middle-name pick in exchange for you having more say with the first name. Unless Alweiss is your husband’s family’s surname, in which case you should already have more say.<\/p>\n

I think it does not matter if Hayes is your cousin’s husband’s surname, especially if you’re only considering it as a middle name, but even if you’re considering it as a first name. If anyone says anything (and how many people in your life would know the connection?), you say “Yes, isn’t that a funny coincidence??”<\/p>\n

I notice the first two boys’ names both have -an endings, and that you have a lot of -en\/-an names on your list. Is this something you want to keep going, or something you’d prefer to avoid?<\/p>\n

Kylo has such an undiluted negative association<\/a>, I would not use it, despite it falling beautifully into the intersection of fresh naming trends. Really, it is the fault of Star Wars for using such a perfectly trend-capturing name as the name of a villain. It reminds me of when a pharmaceutical company used the name Allegra, when they could have used Fexochlor or some other name that no one would want to use for a baby.<\/p>\n

Raven, Lyric, Jericho\/Echo, and Phoenix all feel like style leaps to me after Dylan and Ronan. They’d make fun middle names.<\/p>\n

My own favorite from the list for this sibling group is Soren. Soren Alweiss; Dylan, Ronan, Soren. Other names I might expect to see if I got a birth announcement in the mail include Harlan, Madden, and:<\/p>\n
