I’m overjoyed to be having a third boy. I’m so excited about the dynamic of three brothers all close in age.
But the namesssssss, y’all.
If we were naming a girl, there would be so many combos I absolutely adore that we would be struggling to pick just one of the many that knock our socks off.
Naming a third boy… we are struggling to scrounge up one name that we just mutually don’t despise.
Naming a child with my husband is also not for the faint of heart..
I’m not afraid of choosing a name that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea- a lot of people grimaced when we said we were naming our second son Clyde. Now they all love his name and it fits him perfectly. However, everyone we’ve tossed names around with have unanimously hated every contender my husband hasn’t fully vetoed yet.
As of our last conversation, these are the names he would consider actually using. I like certain aspects of all of them but don’t know that I feel wowed by any of them, or I have specific reservations about certain ones.
Warren, Clyde, & Linus
Warren, Clyde, & Morris
Warren, Clyde, & Ambrose
Warren, Clyde, & Gilbert
Warren, Clyde, & Samson
A few that are most likely fully vetoed but come back up from time to time:
Grover
Gene
Eugene
Glenn
Clifford
Calloway
Lyle
Wilfred
Douglas
