Hi! I am having my third boy in March. My other 2 are named Henry Morris and Avery Bernard. Our last name is daniels so it obviously can\u2019t be jack or Charlie. My husbands name is Zachary. We like the name Brody the best but we also like max and Alexander. I think I want all my kids to end in y or ie.<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n

I really like Brody in this sibling set, and with the surname. If I were you I think I’d be brushing my hands together briskly and moving on to choosing the middle name. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun to think about other options!<\/p>\n

I think the first two names could be seen as the start of a Happy Assortment, or they could be seen as Vintage Revivals, depending on how you go with the third name. Henry is of course an old and enduring traditional classic, but it is also currently enjoying one of its recurring times in the sun, which for some people gives it the feeling of being an on-trend choice. And Avery could feel like a contemporary unisex surname name, except for those of us who remember it as Fern’s brother in the 1952 book Charlotte’s Web, which for some people gives it more the feeling of a vintage revival. Both names feel to me like they fall into the category of gentle boy names, and Avery is currently used more often for girls in the U.S.; so I’d be looking for a name that fit with that and didn’t spin Avery as more likely to be a sister name.<\/p>\n

If you are planning to have more children, I might recommend loosening or breaking the -ie\/-y preference at this point. To me it seems like having two kids ending in that sound is pretty easy to change for the third without causing a stir—but once you have three, you might find yourself feeling like you’re painted into a corner. And especially with boy names: there are a million girl names ending in -ie\/-y, and there are quite a few boy names too but it’s a much smaller category—especially if you’d like one from the subset that feel like full given names (like Henry and Avery) rather than nicknames (Frankie, Marty, Tommy, etc.). This could be the moment to go with Max or Alexander or anything else that keeps you from accidentally locking yourselves in.<\/p>\n
