Really struggling - Brother for Finley

24 replies

usernameiwanted · 17/03/2015 17:45

Struggling to think of a single name that we both like for our ds2 due in a few months!

We like names that can be shortened like Finley to Fin.

Also, first name needs to go with middle name Angelo which is unusual but it's after a recently deceased relative.

Many thanks!

At the risk of sounding offensive, please NOT Toby or Oscar - sooo many around at the moment! (They are nice names though).

Like many of the above suggestions

Particularly like Zachary/Zac with Angelo
Also Sebastian

Alternative suggestions:

Jeremy/Jeremiah/Jez
Patrick/Paddy
Nathaniel/Nate
Dominic/Dom
Malachi/Mal

Good luck with choosing!

laundryelf are you my husband? That's exactly what he said! Confused Looks around suspiciously

I love Reuben! Roo is a very cute nickname. That is definitely my favourite now! Thanks all!

Absolutely not your husband, but great minds think alike etc.. Grin
I like Reuben & Roo but it doesn't flow with Fin, Fin & Roo sounds strange.
Also Reuben Angelo is ok but hope the surname doesn't start with an T or kids will call him ratty! Hmm
Hope you are not in Australia! He will be gorgeous whatever you name him.

No idea why but the first name I thought of was Oscar!

When I was 15 I wanted two boys called Finley and Rueben.

I have three boys now and none of them are called either of those names Smile but I still like them.

Other names that go with Fin are Rory and Oscar.

I instantly thought Reuben Angelo. Then read down the thread and see others have also suggested! It's lovely and I actually do think Fin and Roo go well together especially with your surname

I like Gus with Finn. A longer version would be August, Augustus, Gustav (!) Augustine too.
Augustine Angelo is pretty awesome Smile

I like Joshua.

Joshua and Finley.

Fin and Josh.

Or is Joshua Angelo too much of a mouthful?
