Thoughts on these boy names?

[mumtotwox]

Posted previously looking for names to go with two brothers, Finn + Lucas.

This is our short list -

Emil
Axel
Ivo
Adam
Cole
Mathias

What do you think? Very much open to suggestions...

Great choices with both Finn and Lucas. I like Emil but I'm not sure it works in English. I also quite like Ivo. Not a fan of the others. Some suggestions, Otis, Jude, Rex.

Emil - like it but he'll get Em-ill and Em-eel. Looks a bit too close to Emile and Emily
Axel - ok
Ivo - Ee-vo or Eye-vo
Adam - ok
Cole - not keen
Mathias - prefer Matthias. Math-eye-us or Mat-ee-as?

Adam is the only one I like but it's a strong like and I think it sounds lovely with Finn and Lucas (both of which I also love)

Thanks @wateringmole + @BoleynMemories13. I think that's why are really struggling to decide this time because Finn + Lucas work so nicely together 😬

@DuchessOfSausaage It would be Mat-ee-as. I agree about Emil and it's putting me off slightly!

Finn , Lucas and Jacob ?

I love Ivo and Mathias (and all its spelling and pronunciation variations). The others aren't to my taste but those are both great.

Just read the OP properly and see you have a Finn and a Lucas. Definitely Ivo in that case; different sounds for each but go so nicely!

Leon , Jude

Wow they all seem super different to each other!!

Emil - French as far as I know?
Axel - scandi?
Ivo - Scottish?
Adam - biblical and traditional
Cole - American?
Mathias - Spanish? Or Italian?

Just guessing/going off previous ones I’ve met.

I like them all except Adam but think Cole goes nicest with your boys - because I automatically thought Joel would go perfectly!

I’ve got 3 kids and they all have a different initial, different end sound, and all 2 syllables. So I like your style 😄

I don't know why, but I always wanted to name my boy Marc if I will ever have one.

@ForeverYellow Do like Jacob and we have mentioned this before. Funny you mention Leon as my partner suggested this last night, however, I'm not sure about two L names...

@pamshortsbrokenbothherlegs Thank you so much, I appreciate your comments.

@PerspiringElizabeth Emil and Axel are both from Danish connections for us. Thank you for your suggestions!

@AndreyMal I have a family member with this name and exact spelling ❤

I would say Emil as Em-ill, and it makes me think of Emil & the Detectives.
I would also say Mathias as Mat-ee-as, but I know a Math-eye-us.

The Mat-ee-as gets called Math-eye-us a lot.

I really like Ivo from your list.

Emil
Axel
Ivo
Adam
Cole
Mathias

I can't say as I like any of them. Adam is the best one. Axel is horrific.

Finn, Lucas and Joshua

Love Adam. I have one.
Don't like the others.

@DuchessOfSausaage I think we will possibly rule these two out as it's probably going to be an issue 😥

@Retrievemysanity A recent one we have come across! I like that it's short.

@Jewelspun Haha I appreciate your honesty, I need to hear from all sides! Joshua is lovely, however, my friend just called her baby boy this 💙

Finn, Lucas and Vincent

Finn, Lucas and Ivor

Finn, Lucas and Benjamin

Finn, Lucas and Joseph

Finn, Lucas and Jack

Ollie would be nice too

@cptartapp Gorgeous name!

@Mayhemmumma Thank you! I really like Ollie 😍

Finn and Lucas are quite traditional so your list seems a bit out there for 3rd baby.

I like Cole. Added benefit is that he could end up with a sixth sense too!

Alternative suggestions which I think work well with the sibset:-

Finn, Lucas and...

Elliot
Ethan
Isaac
Max
Jude
Noah
Oscar
Rory
Jacob
Dylan
Joel
Seth
Theo
Rowan
Reece
Jack
Jesse
Ezra
Declan
Harvey
Myles
Aidan
Callum
Ryan

Adam is my favourite from your list.
Other suggestions
Theo
Milo
Joshua
Nathan
Leo
Jude

Matthias...
Adam sounds the best of your names

Really like all these, they have nice friendly sounds - I can imagine all these being nice chaps!

Axel, Mathias and Emil- I can imagine you will get a lot of questions about origin of name and/or kid/your family background- the 'where is that from?' sort of questions. It really depends if that bothers you. I personally don't think it would trouble me too much, if you like the name enough I would go with one.

I have a good friend whose 5 yo is Emil- she is descended from German family back a few generations and had a German sounding surname prior to marriage (think Schmidt or similar) and her hubby's parents are Chinese, he was born and raised here in UK. So the name Emil came from nowhere, they just liked it. I guess the kid will get a bit of questions about his family anyway just due to being mixed heritage so it won't actually make any difference, her hubby is routinely assumed to be foreign already.
