Wesley? But can we have 2 -sley names?

[BabyWhatsYourName]

Just had DS3 today and DH and I struggled to pick a name we both liked as we used our 2 favourite names for DS1 and 2.

DS1s name ends in "sley" and the name DH has thrown out there today is Wesley (pronounced as Wes not Wez just FYI). I quite like it but I'm worried it clashes with DS1s name. DHs reasoning is that when we say the kids names, we will say them in order so won't necessarily be saying DS1s name then DS3s name very often, they will be broken up by DS2s short and sweet name which does sound fine in order.

Also, his middle name is potentially Ronald which is my grandads name who recently died. I'm happy to shorten to Ronnie if that sounds better but not sure if it does. Does it go?

What do you think?

Ezekiel shortened to Zeke?

Tutor? As in ‘here’s your new maths tutor, Tutor’?

I assumed Tutor was an autocorrect. I do know someone called Tudor.

Awful names sorry ....

Weasley Wesley :/

What about
Marley
Abraham (Bram)
Seth
Lucas
Jonah

Tho I love the name Ronnie and would just use that as a first name!

Some time ago I vaguely knew a couple called Wesley and Verity, often called behind their backs weasly and ferrety. Just saying ...

I don't think the similar endings on their own would be a deal breaker for me. It's not like the names actually rhyme.

I do think that if you want it pronounced with an S sound you will be constantly frustrated, as I have only ever heard it pronounced with a Z sound. Please don't use it if that is going to bug you every time you hear it pronounced "not your way."

I don't love either Ronald or Ronnie, but I think Ronnie would fit in well with a style of names that is currently very popular, and nobody would think it was strange or old-fashioned.

I like Leonard, but not the resulting nicknames, and I like Ronald/Ronnie. Leonard Ronald doesn't really click for me, it feels a bit too "old", though.

If you like Wesley but with a soft 's' sound, would you consider Westley? That could be shortened to Wes. It's the name of a main character from The Princess Bride. And I think Westley Ronald would be less easily linked with Harry Potter as it has the soft 's'.

Ronald/Ronnie could also work well as a first name.

Ha! Yes, Tudor !

I can't work out how Wes sounds different to Wez?!

Wes like press.
Wez like fez.

Thanks for that extremely helpful comment

We have potentially chosen a name, and most of you will be glad to know that it's not Wesley.
