@Mayhemmumma Yeah maybe we are trying too hard... we have a Danish connection and thought we could tie the name in with that but it's not easy.

@PuzzledMind Haha thank you!

@BoleynMemories13 Really appreciate this and will share with my OH! Some lovely names there.

@aintnospringchicken @muddyford Thank you so much!

I like Adam, Mathias and Axel.

I'm not keen on Ivo, and especially not Cole.

I'd avoid Jacob and Joshua as they are hugely popular.

What about Erik, Joel or Rory?

@ChimneyPotter Ah this is really nice to read and I am glad your friend went for it! I personally wouldn't mind explaining the reasoning and our close family/friends would understand the choice. I just think something in my gut isn't quite "YES this is the one".

@AdaColeman I appreciate this! My OH likes Erik and we both like Rory... it was actually a possibility for Lucas so maybe one to add back on the list 🤔

Adam is my favourite of your list by a long way and goes beautifully with the style of your other names.

@aintnospringchicken @muddyford Thank you so much!

How recent in the family tree is this Danish connection? You could choose a family member's name as a middle name. I think Adam is the only name in that list that 'goes' with your other sons' names. Their names are traditional names used in the UK so I'd go for something with a similar vibe.

ZombiePara · 25/10/2023 16:34

Out of your list, I think Ivo goes amazingly with your other boys!

Onemoretimeok · 25/10/2023 16:35

Finn, Lucas and

Milo

Morgan

Max

Rory

@goodgriefsean Thank you so much 🤗

@Caspianberg Great suggestions, thank you!

@SunshineYay Immediate family are Danish (DP's side). Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it and swaying towards this a lot.

@ZombiePara Thank you, I really love it and will have to persuade the OH I think haha.

@Onemoretimeok Thanking you 😊

Ivo or Adam.

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

Exactly the same

Lavenderosa · 25/10/2023 16:43

Finn, Lucas and Erik
Finn, Lucas and Oskar
Finn, Lucas and Theo

KayEmAy · 25/10/2023 17:10

Oooh really like your style! Such handsome names!

I particularly love -

Mathias - classic yet fresh, and I love the nicknames Matt, Ty as much as the whole name
Cole - effortlessly cool
Adam - I think it's so underrated, sweet and strong at the same time

Other ideas you may like -

Ezra
Clark
Emmett
Wren
Neil
Clay
Quentin nn Quin, Q
Perry
Grant
Sander
Connell
Roan
Jamie/James
Bellamy
Evan/Evander
Asa

I like Ivo and Adam.

ShoesoftheWorld · 25/10/2023 18:22

Adam is far and away the best, both in its own right and to go with Finn and Lucas. I agree with PP that Emil is a lovely name but just doesn't work in English.

mauveiscurious · 25/10/2023 21:22

Griffin
Grendel
Johan

Watchthedoormat · 25/10/2023 21:31

Finn, Lucas and Adam.

I love Emil and it works with your other names

Daisybuttercup12345 · 25/10/2023 22:50

I only like Adam.

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 25/10/2023 22:54

Finn, Lucas and Jude or Jack.

The only name that remotely goes with the other two is Adam.

But then he will be seen as a person in his own right so of course this is only a consideration of how you feel about it while they're tiny!

I love Axel and Ivo

Wilfred, Thaddeus, Albie..?

Itsatuesday · 25/10/2023 23:04

Love your two boys names 😊 I also had Cole and Axel on my list when naming my son so they’d be my choices. Also love Ari and Reuben

Elisanna · 25/10/2023 23:13

Sorry, none of them are very nice names..here's my suggestions..
Senan, Fintan, Fiachra, Rossa or Dáithi and the best of the lot..Seán
