Brother for Nirvana and Jude

We are looking for a brother name to go with older sister Nirvana and older brother Jude.
I am in love with both dc’s names,Nirvana was initially named after the band that me and dp both really love but when we looked into the meaning it just settled it for us, and with Jude we got inspiration from the beetle song

these are some names that we like but can’t use:
Hendrix-we didn’t love the nn options and we weren’t quite feeling it
Fender-we loved the connection to Fender amps and guitars but it didn’t feel like a complete name for us
Bowie- dp top choice right now with possible longer name Boden but we already have a Beau in our family who often gets called Bowie
Blues-family don’t feel like it’s a proper name to use
Indie-my top choice and I’m trying to convince dp
Fox-this is my second choice but don’t like the nickname possibly of foxy

We are quite settled on the middle name options either Michael or Beesley after my late grandfather

Elvis
Marshall
Prince

What is the beetle song? Is it like the birdie song?

claudetto · 07/06/2022 18:23

I like Indie/Indy. Could be Indigo in full?

Like Fox and can get behind Hendrix.

Some more musical ideas:

Gibson
Zeppelin
Django
Lennox
Iggy
Ziggy
Mercury
Stevie
Dakota
River

It would make most sense to be inspired by whatever music means most to you though

Paisley

After nirvana another music themed name would be cringe. I get that you like out there names but the only none music name is fox and I think that's pretty awful.

This is cringey. It’s your kids names for life not your music preferences that need to be considered. What if they hate indie/ grunge. What if you had been called Disco or Jive or Twist? Don’t lumber them any more….

Amdone123 · 07/06/2022 18:29

You could have Blue instead of Blues.
I know a Hendrix and Marley.
And a Nirvana and Arlo.
Ziggy ?

Amdone123 · 07/06/2022 18:31

@KirstenBlest , the Beetle song is Hey, Jude 😀

@Amdone123 , Hey Jude is a Beatles song not beetle song

They know that. They were just being annoying because OP spelt Beatles wrong.

I like Slash and Jive the best.

NippyWoowoo · 07/06/2022 18:37

Octopus. For the Beetles.

Amdone123 · 07/06/2022 18:37

@KirstenBlest @HereIAmBrainTheSizeOfAPlanet , oh !!!
It's been a longggg day 🤣

VeryQuaintIrene · 07/06/2022 18:38

Queen. Very topical and definitely unusual for a boy.

ShirleyJackson · 07/06/2022 18:38

Formby?

miltonj · 07/06/2022 18:38

Indy is good
Blue but not Blues
I quite like Bowie but lots of people pronounce Bowie as is David differently. Definitely not Boden though.

Like the suggestions of Ziggy
Or Iggy short for Ignatius.
Marley
Frank
Kendrick

Bellarima · 07/06/2022 18:39

*Beatles song

They're all a bit bleugh

Both Hendrix and Bowie had sex with underage fans

I do like Slash though, the next one could be Jimmy (Page or riddle)

Montague22 · 07/06/2022 18:43

Eddie (Pearl Jam)
Billy (Smashing Pumpkins)
Francis (Pixies)
Robert/Bertie (The Cure)

User6761 · 07/06/2022 18:44

Based on your list I'd say Indigo, nickname Indy/Indie. The only Indie I know is a girl but maybe it's unisex, I have no idea.

As PP have said I'd avoid an overtly music associated name. It's too gimmicky.

I don't consider Fox, Fender or Blues names.

Nirvana, Jude and.....
Indigo
Kit
Sonny
Cass
Myles
Xander

@Rickrollme

That’s so rude!

How about Rick though? 😬
