A brother for Quinn

108 replies

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 02/05/2019 10:58

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.

Rufus is the only one I like, but I like Gabriel and Rudolph a lot if you weren’t just going for Gabe and Rudi. Christopher for Kit is also nice but is quite common where I live.

Kester with Kit for short
Jackson
Henry
Luca

I have a Quinn and so read this thread with interest as I also love the name Brody but like you wasn't sure whether the homeland connection was too obvious.
what about Brady as an alternative?

Of your suggestions I like Kit and Rufus best. Or how about Rex?

taylorlynn · 15/05/2019 10:16

I like Brody another suggestion would be Blake !

tiramisu1 · 15/05/2019 10:37

Blake might be too Quentin Blake...?

tdam · 15/05/2019 14:03

Quinn and:

Roman
Bastian
Atlas
Claude
Lucian
Cyrus
Malachi
Silas
Otis
August
Kai
Monty
Hudson
Jem
Franklin
Marlowe
Flynn

Love Quinn but can't say I love Brody or Rufus, although of the two I prefer the latter and think Ru as a nickname is quite cute.

Anyway, good luck!

Oh and I love Kit - hopefully your DH comes around during labour!

Kit can also be short for Christopher

Elias

Rex is my current fave boys name. I also love Fletcher. Max is always cool- but over exposed at the moment. Milo could be a good combination. Adam is underused and I think works well with Quinn

goldensugar2 · 30/05/2019 15:47

Quinn and Brodie
Quinn and Otis
Quinn and Zachary

MissHenty · 31/05/2019 18:25

Rudi!! I’ve already commented this on another thread. It’s the coolest name and I’m very annoyed we never thought of it

MissHenty · 31/05/2019 18:26

Second favourite is Kit. Really great name

Lozz22 · 02/06/2019 13:25

Our Baby (Angel) is Quinn Emery. Those 2 would go well together as separate names
