help with names

So I thought we definitely had baby boy #2's name nailed down... August Matthew, little brother to Harrison John. BUT tonight DH said he just doesn't like it "it doesn't feel like the right name". Now I feel like we're back to square one and every name we discuss one of us doesn't like/love. We're planning on using Matthew as the middle name either way, after DH's brother. I'm frustrated and I need new, fresh suggestions ! What name do you think sounds good with Harrison... I tend to like classic names, but often like trendier names (like August) as well. Our last name is similar to Walker, so that eliminates a lot of -er endings. I know there's a baby name board but I feel like I "know" you ladies better haha. Help !!!

What about Theodore? I think that's a great classic name that sounds good with Matthew as a mn.

I wish. That is literally my #1 name for this boy but DH just really really doesn't like it. It's not even a situation where he kind of likes it and I could just keep saying it until I talk him into it haha

I am so bad at suggestions but I'll tell you what was on my list. Our little man will be named Todd Owen. Some front runners were:

Jude/Judah

Graham

Levi

Silas

Titus

I would check out the baby names board still. Even though they can be harsh, they tend to be more helpful if you don't suggest a specific name to see if they like it or not but just do what you did (mention your son's name and likes/dislikes). Gosh, it must be so frustrating to start back at ground zero. Good luck and I hope choosing comes fast!

Well, since we have similar taste, our back up names for this baby were Matthew, Owen, Carter, and Anderson.  And I loved the name Miles, but the hubs hated it.

When we adopt our Harrison's little brother, his name will be Emmett. :)


Dec. '10 - Decided to adopt.
March '11 - Started home study.
Sept. '11 - Completed home study. Started working with law firm.
Dec. '11 - Started working with national agency.
May '12 - Put adoption on hold after nephew's death.
July '12 - Matched with a birthmom. Match fell through.
August '12 - Matched with a birthmom. Match fell through.
Took break from adoption. Got pregnant!

This seriously cracks me up !!! We have scary similar taste... i JUST texted DH this morning and asked him about Emmett or Everett haha. He likes Emmett so maybe we'll mull over that for awhile :) I like Anderson a lot but Harrison and Anderson sound way too matchy for my taste. Thanks for the input !
