Hi Swistle!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been reading through your posts for a while since I named my daughter back in 2022, I enjoyed reading through all your posts. I was hoping you’d help my family out now we\u2019re having our own name dilemma!
\nWell we\u2019re now in July expecting a little boy into our family, little brother to Cyanna Scarlett. Our last name is very similar to Tomlinson. We\u2019ve been on a total mess when trying to find boys names we both like and agree on! We adore Cy\u2019s name! It feels like the perfect, pretty girls name. It has sweet nicknames and is such a happy name! However we can\u2019t find any of the qualities we\u2019re looking for in a boys name. We have agreed on a boys name we both liked but found that the automatic nickname would be \u2018Kai\u2019 and I\u2019d definitely get mixed up having a Cy and Kai! This boys name was Makaio. I\u2019ve been clueless for ideas, my husband\u2019s favourite right now is Ziggy. But it just seems too happy and I\u2019m not sure if it would really work on an adult. His middle name will most likely be August as we\u2019ve decided we both like the name August, just not set on it as a first name!
\nIf he were to have been a girl, he would have been Milani or Marsaili and in the case we have another baby and they are a girl then they will probably take either of these names! We\u2019re not quite sure how many children we plan to have, but we will probably only have one more child if we were to have another at all!
\nThank you so much for your time and consideration! We really do appreciate it.

Oh, Makaio does seem perfect! The happy rhythm, the happy -o, the nickname potential! I wonder if you could call him Mack or Mackie instead. I wouldn’t have thought of Mackie except that a friend’s child goes by that, and now it sounds very natural to me. And maybe Cy and Kai WOULDN’T trip you up!<\/p>\n

This is going to be a delightfully subjective category, and I am very much looking forward to the comments section, but in the meantime here are some more boy names that feel happy and\/or fun to me:<\/p>\n

Alfie
\nAngelo
\nAngus
\nArchie
\nBarnaby
\nBaxter
\nBrecken
\nBridger
\nBriggs
\nBroderick
\nCrockett
\nCrosby
\nDarcy
\nDecker
\nEzekiel\/Zeke
\nFelix
\nFinnegan
\nFletcher
\nGideon
\nHatcher
\nJacoby
\nJennings
\nKeaton
\nKeegan
\nMurphy
\nPadgett
\nPeregrine
\nPhineas
\nQuincy
\nRoderick
\nRoger (with the adorable nickname Hodge)
\nRooney
\nRufus
\nShepherd\/Shepard
\nSullivan
\nTerrence<\/p>\n

I would mention Kipling, but an earlier post<\/a> has killed that name for me. I think Harvey would be terrific, but now Weinstein is back in the news again. And I would mention Indigo, but it seems like too much color with Cyanna and Scarlett—or is it? Would you want to make a full-on theme of it? Indigo Grey? Indigo Jet? But that would leave you with a difficult theme if you did have a third child.<\/p>\n

Gus and Auggie both feel like a very happy nicknames to me, if it changes your mind at all about using the name August as a first name.<\/p>\n

Name update:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello again!
\nThank you to everyone, we really did look at and read through every single comment and consider every suggestion given; and from the bottom of our hearts thank you! We really appreciate the time people took out of their day to suggest a name for our little boy.
\nWe ended up going to the hospital with three names, Shepherd, Makaio and Murphy. But after meeting him on July 11th we ended up naming him Shepherd, Shepherd Finley. We were sure his middle name would be August, though while talking to one of the midwife\u2019s and her telling us that she thought Finley would suit him very well we ended up choosing that as his middle name over August. Cyanna is just as in love with his name as we are and has been referring to him as \u2018Sheppie\u2019 which we think is adorable!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
