I\u2019m due in 9 weeks with boy\/girl twins. We came up with our daughter\u2019s name fairly easily \u2013 Lucia (pronounced Lou-c-uh) and we\u2019ll call her Lucy for short) but cannot decide on a boys name to save our life! We have narrowed it down to the following 4. His middle name will be Robert (family name) and our last name is Woods. I\u2019ll include some of my thoughts on each name. We like names that aren\u2019t too poplar but not too out there either. Would love to hear your input and reader suggestions. Thanks!<\/p>\n
Silas<\/p>\n
We both like this name but whenever we share it with people we get \u201coh, well I like your girl\u2019s name\u201d. Is it just not very likeable? While we don\u2019t care too much what others think we don\u2019t want his sister to have a \u2018good name\u2019 and he has a bad name! We\u2019d call him Sy for short. One issue I see is that since our name also ends in an S is that too hard in the plural \u2013 Silas\u2019 Woods\u2019 ?<\/p>\n
Layton<\/p>\n
Concerns with this name is that it is also a girl\u2019s name, even though it would be spelled different Leighton Meister is the popular actress. I also don\u2019t like how you lose the t when saying it fast \u2013 Lay\u2019n and no good nicknames. I do like both Layton and Lucia starting with an L.<\/p>\n
Bennett<\/p>\n
I like this more than my husband. I know it\u2019s rising in popularity. Would be concerned it automatically becomes Ben which is common.<\/p>\n
Preston<\/p>\n
My husband likes more than I do. It\u2019s also a little to close to the 100 list for my taste. No good nicknames but I do like it sounds professional.<\/p>\n
So<\/p>\n
Silas & Lucia Woods?
Layton & Lucia Woods?
Bennett & Lucia Woods?
Preston & Lucia Woods?<\/p>\nTHANKS!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I DO like Silas, but if you’re concerned about the double S endings, perhaps Simon? Simon Woods is so nice, and you still get Sy.<\/p>\n
I agree with the problems with the name Layton you mention. Maybe Lachlan instead? Or Lawson? Or Lennon? Or Lennox? Or Lincoln? Or Linus? Or Lyle? I particularly like Lincoln’s nickname Linc: Linc and Lucy.<\/p>\n
So my suggestions are:<\/p>\n
Simon Robert Woods
Lincoln Robert Woods<\/p>\nAnd from your list my two favorites are:<\/p>\n
Silas Robert Woods
Bennett Robert Woods<\/p>\nName update<\/span> 08-11-2010! Andrea writes:<\/p>\n
