I know I'm being a pain in the butt with these name posts. I can't do this boy name crap!
So I mentioned to my sister that we would honor my dads name, Brian, as the middle name. My dad mentioned to her that he has 6 grandsons and non are named after him, but named after other relatives. For example, my other sons name is Ezekiel James, James after my grandfather that passed. I feel like now that I said that, and I don't honor it, and something happens to my dad I will full heartedly regret it.
But I can't get myself to like Brian with any of the first names I like. Really, I can't like the name Brian alone at all. Soooo... I was thinking maybe using a alternative to Brian. Like..
Briant- (more commonly spelled Bryant, but my brothers name is also Bryan spelled with a "y" tho, so spelling Bryant with a y would honor him and not my dad, right?)
Or
Biran- Alternate spelling of Byron, with same letters as Brian just different sound
I wanted the first name to be a "Cas" name, so nn will be Cas. I like Cassiel and Cassian, but feel Cassiel might sound better with any of those alternative options. I do not like Casper or Caspian. What do you think? I feel like maybe I'll have to let go of my obsession with the nn Cas for my boy and find a different first name that goes really well with one of those middle names.
What are some other cool, different, unique, first names that sound cool with Briant or Biran??
Or should I just not name him after my dad? He must have mentioned non of them being named after him because it causes a soft spot for him though.
I need options and ALOT of help lol 😩
