Boy's name to go with Aidan...

[angel1976]

Hi,

Found out today that DC2 is going to be a boy! We are really chuffed! DS1 is Aidan and we now need a boy's name to go with it. Surname ends with -lee sound and two syllabus so don't want any similar ending sound names. Also, his middle name will be two syllabus as well and a bit unusual as we are using something from my culture. And nothing too popular (though I can see Aidan is creeping up the popularity list ). I kinda think we ended up with the perfect name for DS1 so a bit short of ideas for DS2.

I really like Tristan but thinks Aidan and Tristan is a bit much. Like Owen as well but not 100% sold on it. Lucas I like but too popular now I think and DH not sold on that one... Yeeks! HELP! Thanks!

Argh argh argh. Thanks for all your suggestions. DH is saying no to Dashiell (which I am still so loving!) or Flynn/Finn so will have to convince him in the next 16 weeks or so!

He likes Elliot (which I don't mind, I kinda like the idea of naming DS2 after an English poet, any other suggestions?), kinda likes Ethan too. I think he mentioned a couple of others like Marcus (yeeks!), Sam, Morgan (what?), Kieran, Charlie and others that I didn't like enough to remember... LOL. This is going to be worse than naming DS1. I want to throw a strop and insists on naming DS2 Dashiell (DH says we are not French, uh, we are not Celtic/Irish either!).

Elliot is nice.
Ethan too similar to Aidan IMO.

Owen comes back to your poets idea - you could therefore drop Wilfred into the mix - a good old English name. Time to go down the Oxford Dictionary of English Literature?
