Brother for Griffin

We had our baby boy at 36 weeks last week as a total shock. He doesn’t have a name yet and I think it’s impacting my ability to bond with him (and the extremely fast labour - got to the hospital 10 min before delivery and it feels like a blur!)

baby boy needs a name to compliment Griffin! Surname starts with V.

contenders:
Calvin
Maxwell
Milo
Beau
Alfred

im American and my husband is British so would like it to work in both “cultures”.

thinking a soft but strong name but can’t quite put our fingers on one!

Griffin and ..
Maxwell. I love the book Where The Wild things Are by Maurice Sendak.

Also ..
Leo has a similar theatrical large stately animal vibe.

I wouldn't use Phoenix, it's got a big connection to the trans / non-binary community because it's gender neutral and is a symbol of rebirth.
Your options are nice but I feel like they're a bit too "normal" compared to Griffen.
Griffen and Ryder
Griffen and Maverick
Griffen and Atlas

I know a sibling-set named Griffin and Merlin. Not my vibe but very cute and suits their family.

Opinicus or Wyvern if you like mythology

Maxwell from your list. Griffin and Maxwell sound the best together IMO - both lovely names!

Axolollipopotl · 03/03/2024 22:13

Out of your names, Maxwell goes really well with Griffin!

And congratulations!

Another vote for Phoenix!

Phoenix goes well with Griffin
