Brother for Rafe

Second baby boy is due very soon and we cannot come up with a name.. It seems as though I’ve read every thread/name list/suggestions out there and nothing feels right.

I prefer names that aren’t overly common, but equally not completely unheard of. I prefer stronger sounding over softer names.

We’re both teachers which just seems to add to the difficulty of choosing something unique and untainted 😂

my current list is:

Arne (pronounced Arnie)
Rome
Mason
Conan

my husband isn’t overly convinced about any of these,

His suggestions are,

Sonny
Brooks
Joey
Freddie
Seb

And I’m not overly convinced on these…

we seem to keep circling and circling.

Sonny and Joey stand out from your lists as going well with Rafe. I like Arne too but the spelling / pronunciation errors would bother me. Conan is good too.

Why would Arne be pronounced Arnie? Is Rafe pronounced Rafie?! You’ve had some great name suggestions so far. I think Rafe and Theo sound nice together…
