I am at an impasse when it comes to naming my 3rd son, due in April. I think I\u2019ve narrowed it down to two names but I just cannot decide.<\/p>\n
Our last name is Hammond. Sons are Everett Paschal and Callum George. Both boys\u2019 middle names are family names. I cannot decide on a good middle name for this baby yet either.<\/p>\n
I think I\u2019ve narrowed down first name possibilities to Finnian or Lachlan.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what I like about each. Finnian: has double consonant like the boys, has a common nickname like the boys (Ev and Cal) with a less common full name, an Irish name whereas the boys have germanic and Scottish, my ancestry is Finnish so neat little play on words there. Dislike that it seems very trendy thanks to Glee. Lachlan: much less common in the US, also the connection to Scandinavian culture.<\/p>\n
My older son is very partial to Finnian (he\u2019s obsessed with Phineas and Ferb J) and my husband likes Lachlan better (because of popularity). I can\u2019t decide! Is there some other perfect name that I just haven\u2019t considered?<\/p>\n
Other names I had considered but crossed off the list: Rory, Sebastian, Archer, Griffin, Fletcher, August, Thaddeus, Finnegan. Girl name would have been Romilly Wynn.<\/p>\n
Thank you!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Name update!<\/strong> B. writes:<\/p>\n I so appreciate all the comments trying to help me decide on baby 3.0’s name. In the end, I just felt like Finnian was off. Something about the sound of it didn’t sit perfectly with me. So, we know have a lovely little, almost one month old, Lachlan William. His middle name is after my father, my husband’s uncle, and various other relatives. :) He already has many nicknames but most often is called Lachie.
