Baby boy due next week. Keep going over the same names and we can't pick, nothing sticks!
MN will be John (non-negotiable) and last name begins with S and ends in N sound.

Iver/Ivor John - not sure which spelling to use, pronunciation like 'Iver' but Ivor more traditional spelling?
Malachai John
Asa John
Gabriel John
Elijah John
August John
Theodore 'Teddy' John

Daughter has an unusual but strong and traditional name, popularity is a concern for us. Think he will be baby no name!

I'm not keen on any of them apart from Gabriel.

Iver is a place near Slough.

Not August, because it's too similar to Augustus John!

Theodore, probably.

I was going to say Gabriel John but I'd say scratch that if popularity bothers you. I'm hearing little Gabriels everywhere, same with Theodore (well Theo)
I love Malachi.

Gabriel

I like Elijah best then Theodore
Least favourite are Asa and August

LalalalalalaLand123 · 10/11/2021 23:27

Gabriel for sure

Iver/Ivor John - I don't like it, it isn't terrible but....
Malachai John - love Malachi, are you pronouncing it like chai tea at the end tho? I like it ending to rhyme with guy
Asa John - feels unfinished
Gabriel John - just gorgeous
Elijah John - prefer Elias
August John - no, it's a month, not a cool name month and if you have to at least go Augustus
Theodore 'Teddy' John - lovely but pretty popular
