Okay…after TONS and tons of floundering back and forth between {what we think are cute} names, we need some serious help! We are due to have another sweet little man very soon and we have NO clue what name to choose. Our first son is named Landon. We LOVE his name…very strong & masculine. It goes perfectly perfect with our last name, “Carroll”. With that said, we need something just as perfectly perfect for our next son. We want something that sounds good with Landon so when I’m introducing them people don’t say, “Poor second kid…he sure got the raw end of the deal on his name.” Ya know?!<\/p>\n
We know for sure that his middle name will be Patrick…after my dad. SO, baby #2 can’t have a name that starts with a “P” {I can barely say my first kid’s name without faltering…I definitely don’t need a tongue twister with this one!!} EVERYONE seems to have an opinion about baby #2’s name. We have about 8 names picked out {and open for more suggestions} and our families aren’t really liking any of them! I know we shouldn\u2019t worry about that\u2026after all, it\u2019s OUR baby\u2026 but it\u2019s definitely making us second guess our selections!<\/p>\n
We\u2019d like something that sounds different than Landon, but nothing too \u201cout there\u201d. We\u2019re also not too big on \u201ctraditional\u201d names. Something fun & cute, but not girly cute. My husband is all about the athletics, so having an \u201cathletic\u201d name would be better than something formal. {I know, completely random and irrelevant!!!} I\u2019m also thinking that I don\u2019t know if I want both boys to have names that end with the \u201con\u201d sound. {I know, I know\u2026super picky!!} We\u2019ve also randomly talked about keeping his name \u201cIrish\u201d. Wow…did ya get all that?!?! SO…without further ado\u2026here are our top choices!<\/p>\n
1. Brody\u2014Our favorite by far. We\u2019ve had this one picked out since before I found out I was pregnant. I love, love, LOVE this name & think it would fit so perfectly perfect with our little family! However, our families don\u2019t think it\u2019s as \u201cstrong\u201d as Landon, but I love the way \u201cLandon & Brody\u201d sound together!!
2. Reese — My husband’s pick. Don’t get me wrong…LOVE it, but I\u2019m afraid it\u2019s more on the feminine side.
3. Hayden — We like this one too, but I\u2019m hearing it a lot for girls names these days!
4. Ayden — Right\u2026we\u2019re not venturing too far from Hayden on this one, but we\u2019ve always liked this name.
5. Miles —I love this name! Not my husband\u2019s favorite, but it made the list.
6. Gage — Love this one too…definitely not the typical name, and if there’s any name our families don’t like as much as Brody, this one is it!!
7. Grayson or Hudson —I put these together because we like them a lot, but the “on” endings might be too close to the ending in Landon.<\/p>\nThanks for all the help!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
