My husband and I are on baby number 2 and are expecting any day now! We aren’t finding out the sex, so two names are needed. My sons name is Cohen Michael and I really like that it’s a bit different without being too out there. I want something that flows well with his name. Our girl choice is Harper (at least that’s what my husband hasn’t vetoed). Our last name is French…Pombier. My husband and I just cannot agree on a boys name and need some help!!<\/p>\n
Names I like are Cooper, Kellan, Landon. A bit all over the place I know. I do like the Irish\/Gaelic feel. He has said no to all of these. He likes Milo, Max, Finn, Noah, and Miles. I’m not a fan of these. We are clueless at this point and I’m due 2\/23\/11!!<\/p>\n
Im sure you get tons of emails but would really appreciate the help. Thanks!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Finn seems like a good place to start, since it’s on your husband’s list and you like Irish\/Gaelic names. Would you like it better if it was Finlay? Phinneas? Griffin? Finnegan? Finlan? Finian? Quinlan?<\/p>\n
Kellan seems a little too close to Cohen: same starting sound, same ending sound, and soft middle sounds. Something like Keegan might work better: the beginning and ending sounds are still the same, but the strong G sound helps make them sound more different from each other.<\/p>\n
Milo and Miles make me think of Malcolm and Niall and Lyle.<\/p>\n
Milo and Landon make me think of Leo and Lyle.<\/p>\n
Noah makes me think of Ezra, which I think has Cohen’s flavor of “a bit different but not too out there.”<\/p>\n
Cooper makes me think of Hooper, Carson, and Carter. Cohen and Carson are pretty similar (like Cohen and Keegan: sort of right on the line), but I think Cohen and Carter works.<\/p>\n
Name update!<\/span> Monica writes:<\/p>\n
We ended up having a GIRL!! No boy name was needed. We named her Harper Kate. She’s SO sweet!
Thank you all very much for the responses. I had no idea I would get so much help. Sorry it took so long to get back with you. I’ve been a little busy :)<\/p>\nThanks again!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
