Naming dilema

Ok, we have girl names picked out. They aren't rhyming or anything, but the nicknames will be Missy and Rosy. My older daughter is Jacqi. So they all kind of go together. For boys we have agreed on Aaron. Our older boy is Brennan. So now I'm thinking we need to get something that goes with the 2 names. They both have that "en" sound at the end. Only we can't find any we agree on. We considered Ryan, but good friends of ours have a 2 year old whose name is Ryan and it would get confusing. So anyone have a good name that might go with the other 2 boy names. I suppose they wouldn't have to go together really, but I thought it would be nice if they did. Any ideas would be welcome. We are up for different names as well as more common ones.

 

How about Branden or Jayden ? I love noth those names.

You like the name Jayden, no way!

 

How about Caden? You could also spell it with a K.
Or Camden?

Or Aidan/Aidon/Aedon?

Or Braedon?

I could do this all night....

 

I like aaron and Aiden.*

Aaron and Caden

Aaron and Devin

Aaron and Ethan

Aaron and Evan*

Aaron and Gordan

Aaron and Jordan

Aaron and Logan

Aaron and Landon

Aaron and Martin*

Aaron and Nathan*

Aaron and Owen

Aaron and Preston

Aaron and Carson

*= my favorites

 

I like Aidan. Also Austin, Cameron, Kevin, Collin, Steven.

 

Aaron and Caden is very cute and so are Aaron and Collin.

 

Rylan? Mason?

 

We're thinking of using the name Aaron as well. We're still kicking around ideas, but we've thought of Robert (DH really loves the name Bob!) and lately DH is liking the name Cody, but I'm iffy on it.
If you really want that "en" sound on the end I would suggest Stephen.

Just as a side note, if you really like a name, use it. Someone else may have it, but you'll run into that no matter what name you pick.

We'd use it, but the confusing issue when we spend so much time with them is just too much. Two of the same name so close together in age and then spending so much time together would just be hard to distinguish since the name really doesn't lend itself to nicknames.

Shared the names with DH. He really likes Aiden. We have a while to keep thinking about this. Thanks for all the ideas.

 

Ditto on the Aidan--I thought of that name . I decided on Mason, which also goes good with those names!!

April

 

What about Rylan? Close to Ryan but not the same..
Oops. see someone posted it already.

I have a Gavin....that would work too.

 

I wanted Owen, but that does sound a lot like Aaron, maybe too close?

Jen

 

I wanted to add Derrin. That's my son's name and he's always been happy with it. It's usually spelled Darren or Darrin, but I felt like our spelling was somehow more masculine. Anyway, its a great name.

I also like Owen (but probably not with Aaron) and Gavin. And DH has a friend name Lincoln...which is a solid name, even though everyone calls him Linc.

I agree with PPs....I love the name Rylan, and it would be close but not exactly like Ryan. Other names I love are Grayson, Aidan, Landon. Good luck picking out a name and keep us posted on your choice.
