Help! Boy’s name opinion

[MakingLifeBetter]

So we have a Clara, a Theo and stuck on new DS2. Our shortlist: Milo / Luca / Harry/ Raphael (Raffi) / Joseph / Dominic / Thom

We just can’t agree or settle on one! DS1 has the middle name Louis which I’d have LOVED as a first name but we can’t poach it.

Grateful for any thoughts

Mylo and Harry for me

Luca is lovely.
I have only ever met one Luca.
All the names on your list are nice, solid names.
Luca dominic
Luca Thom

My faves are
Dominic & Thomas

My favourite is Dominic. But it would be. I have one.
I also like Luca.
Harry and Joseph are a bit "meh" imo. And I'm not a fan of the other names in your list.

Shame you didn't save Louis.

Milo - no, rhymes with Theo
Luca - no, too close to Clara for me
Harry - ok
Raphael (Raffi) - ok but doesn't really "go" with the others (not that it's a dealbreaker)
Joseph - ok
Dominic - yes my favourite
Thom - why not Tom? I don't like the Thom spelling and I think Theo and Thom is a bit of a strange combo (hard to pinpoint why, I think it's because of the two different pronunciations of Th)

How about....
Alexander (Alex or Xander)
Isaac / Zac
Max
Reuben

I like Luca, Harry and Tom (not keen on the h).

Prefer Rafe to Raphael.

Luca Joseph is lovely and goes well with your other names.

I love Joseph. Prefer Luke to Luca personally.

I REALLY like the name Luca and think it flows really nicely with your other children's names. I can imagine those three names being introduced together 🙂

Love Dominic and Joseph.
I think Luca 'goes with' your names, but I'm not a fan. Prefer Luke.

I have lots of boys and have used Luca, Joseph, Theo and Louis as either first or middle names.

I also considered Raphael and Milo.

Luca, Joseph or Raphael would be my picks from your list but what about Gabriel - Gabe, I loved this also but didn’t use it.

I think Luca goes really nicely with Clara and Theo.

I'm biased as I have a Milo and a Luca. Love Raphael too - was actually on list for DS1.

I think Theo and Thom is a bit of a strange combo (hard to pinpoint why, I think it's because of the two different pronunciations of Th

I'd pronounce them Th-eo and Th-om!

You absolutely can use Louis. Kate and William did, having already used it as one of George's middle names. No one outside your immediate family will have any idea of your older son's middle name. I say go for it.

Definitely Dominic out of those.
Thomas (Thom would be unusual but fine as a short form)
Luca, Milo are a bit odd unless you’re Italian. Luke or Lucas and Miles are great.
Raphael is nice. Not sure how much it fits. Harry is OK. But Henry is better.

Clara and Theo are a lovely combination

I think I’d go for for Milo as it’s lovely and fits well. 2nd choice Thomas nn Thom. I don’t think Luca goes particularly - Lucas sounds better. Dominic and Raphael both a bit fussy compared to your other two. Joesph and Harry bit dull compared to your other two.

Other thoughts - Patrick, Rafe, Hugo, Francis, Nicholas (Nico), Casper, Max, Joshua, Nathaniel nn Nate, Silas

So we have a Clara, a Theo and stuck on new DS2. Our shortlist: Milo / Luca / Harry/ Raphael (Raffi) / Joseph / Dominic / Thom

Really like Milo!

Also like Raffi 😊 What about Jasper? It’s also a bit unusual but not too much

I love Luca 🥰
Though you can def use Louis if it's your first sons middle name!

Rafael /Raphael.

I think Luca and Raffie (my fave) sound the best with Clara and Theo!
I like Milo and Thom but don’t think they sound right with Theo

How about Laurence nn Laurie ? Similar to Louis but less used

Though I love Milo I would cross it off since you already have Theo as I'm not keen on the 2 'o' endings. Miles would be good.

I love Raphael/Raffy, Harry and Dominic, and they'd work well. Raphael and Dominic have the advantage of being less used.

I'm not so keen on Luca and Joseph. I like Tom/Thomas but not sure about Thom.

I adore Luca, and love Raphael. Joseph is also lovely! Congratulations!

I like Luca best and think it goes best with your other children’s names in terms of style and brevity, a different ending sound to both of them would be optimal though. Concur with other pps that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using Louis though, I think it goes best out of everything and has a different ending.
