A brother for Quinn

108 replies

We found out yesterday that number 2 is another boy. We already have Quinn (7) and love his name but really struggling to agree on a name for baby 2. So far on the list we have:

Kit (I love, DH not so keen)
Brody (we both like this but last night we made the Homeland connection and are wondering if it makes it unusable)
Gabe
Rudi
Rufus
Torben (DH not keen as he thinks it doesn't go with our surname)
Elias

Help?

We like names that are a little bit different but nothing too out there.
Our surname begins with an 'err' sound and it seems to make name flow quite tricky.

Bentley I cottoned onto the fox/ Kit connection, DH hasn't :)

It'll be totally random if he's another red head, neither me nor DH have red hair but Q does.

Surely nobody thinks sending a red haired child to school called Fox is a good idea?

I love Kit. But if you can't convince DH - what about Glenn? Nature name that nobody ever uses - but isn't out there at all, everyone has heard of it.

partofthewind · 03/05/2019 20:21

Kit! I know a Kit and a Quinn! Kit is a great little brother name.

LittleAndOften · 04/05/2019 16:05

I know a Quinn and Rory Smile

I think Seth or Zachary would go lovely. If he's set on an r name rafferty, Rowan or Raphael would both go well with Quin.

Rocco would be nice with Quinn.

Widowodiw · 05/05/2019 11:34

We have a Quentin and really struggled to find a name for his sister because his name was different but it not altogether out there. My husband was coming up with very “normal” names but it would have sounded like we just hadn’t put as much effort into her name 😂 . We settled for Victoria as although quite normal it started with a v which is quite unusual- well a little. And I liked it !

Caspian mentioned up thread is really cool

Sparklysunflower · 06/05/2019 07:36

I have Lachlan on my list but DH not keen.

I think we're kinda settled on Brody and ignoring any Homeland connotations. I've not given up on Kit though...

Robin?

sazzle27 · 06/05/2019 11:37

Love the name Brody, also a large part of me is standing in solidarity with your DH wanting an R name!

Likeagibbon · 06/05/2019 21:04

R name= Rico? Roscoe?

What's the homeland problem?

What's the homeland problem?

Two of the main characters in Homeland were Nick Brody and Peter Quinn, both generally referred to by their surnames.

minmooch · 07/05/2019 12:19

How about Ralph?
Rafe?
Raphael?

minmooch · 07/05/2019 12:20

The Homeland connection would be lost on most people. Go with what you like

Sparklysunflower · 07/05/2019 14:44

I doubt many people would make that connection! Don't let that put you off Brody if you love it.

Calixtine · 07/05/2019 14:56

Quinn and Brody are great together and the Homeland thing wouldn’t occur to 90% of people I’m sure.
