Help me name my unborn son!

[lordxizor]

My fourth son is due in October and we're struggling to come up with name ideas. I'd love some suggestions!

My other three sons are Max, Ezra, and Eli. We'd like something that fits well with their names. Clearly we like short names and classic or old fashioned names.

I should also add that we're from Minnesota and have German and Scandinavian heritage. Not that we need names that fit those molds, but we're unlikely to choose a Hispanic or Asian name.

Any suggestions?

How about Mike?  I told my son if he has a son to name him Raylan after the character in Justified.

Kyle. Keith. Kenny. Then your sons can be MEEK. And you can say they shall inherit the Earth.

I'm not asking to share personal details about you, but I think a name should also sounds well with the surname. A name in itself might be nice, but roll off the tongue awkardly when pronounced along with the surname. There should also be some kind of balance with the surname, with a long surname a long name is overkill. Maximilian Longbottomscotch is tiring.

Funny thing is, I came into the thread to specifically suggest Maximilian or Elyas. But he already has a son named Max and Eli.....

How about Chauncey. If you want to go the pretentious route.

ohh my heritage is german and swedish, and i do genealogy, so I have to suggest one of my favorite old Svedish names from my genealogical archives: Axel.

edited to add: I also came across someone legit called Primus once. That's pretty badass. But I am sticking with Axel.

I have a cousin with a son named Axel, so I probably shouldn't use that one. But I do like it!

well i'm glad to at least not suggest something horrid. congrats on your impending new family member.

i'm trying to think of other names but that was the first that hit me and i rather like how it sounds with your other sons' names. but i totally get your reasoning.

Valborg. My wife wouldn't let me name any of our kids that, but it is Swedish and means "mighty mountain".

Can't imagine why your wife wouldn't go along with that.
