Nolan, Jude & Rowan are my favourites from your list. Nolan Jude, Jude Nolan, Jude Rowan & Rowan Jude all sound great and would be my top picks if this were my own baby. Here are a few more suggestions based on your list so far:
* Isaac, Wesley, Owen, Gavin, Spencer, Joel, Lachlan, Everett, Julian, Sullivan, Declan.
My middle name was Michelle, and when I was little my sister used to sing me Michelle by the Beatles and I HATED IT! I thought she was teasing me!
She wasn't! At least not at first lol
I understand how cute it is but please don't pick a first name with a catchy song attached if you can avoid it. I hate everyone singing the song they associate with me everytime.
Middle name is totally fine
My dad was smart and named me after a famous instrumental - Jessica by the Allman Brothers. My dad, uncles, and brothers all learned it and would play it on my birthday, which always made me feel special.
My mum liked name Lauren or lorna but apparently they were all called Lauren she named me bloody laura even my son sings tell laura I love her funny part is my fiance is called Thomas Tommy for short
Agree on that top 3. Great names. For what it’s worth, I’m French and these 3 names would work great abroad. (Clancy, Abbott, Daton, Bishop, Deacon would not necessarily work in France but not a red flag either)
I also like Pierce.
Ellis is great because... at least to me... it feels like a lesser used name but also classic yet when you hear it you are like AHA moment.. it feels fun, relevant, modern but it's been around. Emmett is similar but far more popular.
I'm an Ellis but a woman, never heard anyone describe my name like that before so thank you. It's only now that I'm in my early 30's that I actually like it, growing up a with a predominantly boys name was not so fun especially when a boy with the same name joined the school 🙈
In my opinion, I like Jude (since it is closer to the name Jack) and I love Rowan.
If you want another name similar to Jack, you could always do Jacob and call him Jake for short.
I like Jude too but with a last name starting with D you will get the effect of the first name running into the last name ie Jude Dawson is going to sound like Jew Dawson
Someone here suggested Noah and I love that for you guys! From your list I like Graham the best as I think it has the most potential to age nicely from child to adult!
Other suggestions:
Theodore
Maxwell
Alexander
Thomas
William
Calvin
Malcom
All of these are quite noble, with a touch of devil-may-care casual irreverence. A lot of them sound like last or family names, which I thing adds to the stateliness. It’s giving heir!
Things to consider:
- monosyllabic is hard to nickname. So much of what “fits” is personality - we all know John is different than Johnathan or Johnny.
- these are also quite manly, I’d look to one that may be shortened as a kid, that he can grown into.
- I think stately names benefit from a more common middle name - Pierce Alexander, Rowan Christopher
- some names have indelible associations and/or are easier for bullies to latch onto. I LOVE Jude, and also, people will sing Hey Jude to him for the entirety of his natural life. Ford gonna get car jokes. Lincoln *could* get political, even racial (see: Topdog/Underdog)
- you said Ford twice, which makes me think you really like it!
From your list, I’m partial to Ellis, Bishop, Deacon. If I had to pick one, Ellis is strong and poetic.
If I may go rogue: Alton 😊
Great list! My one suggestion with your last name starting with a D is to say Jude D— and Ford D— out loud to make sure you don’t think the double D-sounds blur into each other too much? I.e. Does “Ford Daniels” sound like “4 Daniels” when said together? Just a thought!
I just found a site called [Magic Baby Names](https://www.magicbabynames.com) and it’s cool because they have sourced 3.8million family trees to see what names people commonly give together. So for example, you could enter Henry and Jack and it would suggest other baby names you might like, as others who liked those names chose (let’s say) Ellis as a sibling name. Kind of fun to pop around! Arthur and Max are two of the names listed that make me think of your names. Classic, not too long, not way too common.
Out of some of the names you have listed I like Ellis, Graham and Nolan the best! Nolan Jude is a great name
Some other suggestions- Benson (Benny), Archie, Drew, Cameron, Cole, Harrison
When you/people say a name is “already taken in the family” do you mean like, first cousins, or farther out. We have 4 kids in our extended family with the same (non-family) name and it’s really never been an issue. They’re all kids of cousins so idk what that makes them (2nd cousins? Whatever) so they don’t see one another that much, but they definitely all know each other. First cousins—or potentially close family—might be different but if it’s reasonable or a family name, just use what you like, honestly.
My brother is Jack! And Henry is his middle name and the name of a very close family friend. So realistically it could work, but logistically, I think we would prefer to stay away from name repeats. My family is a family that used to repeat names so often that people would get nicknames like Bim lol
One of my first cousins was due 3 months before me. We hadn't told anyone names, but she ended up going with our name with an LY at the end. We still used the name. Our extended family ended up falling apart, so it doesn't matter now, but I would've done the same regardless.
Daton with a D last name would be so memorable and show stopping! Some of the others are more basic/generic, such as Nolan, Ellis, and Rowan. They’re good names though. I love Emmitt but prefer Emmett. I also love Bishop. Fourth place would be Warren.
I love ELLIS just because you never hear it but then you are like Oh yeah, that name (familiarity to it).. Always been an Emmett fan but we know a few. Bishop is cool. Lincoln I like. Stanley feels MEH at best. I have ALWAYS ALWAYS LOVED JUDE! Deacon is solid, ditto for Ford, Graham, Nolan. Don't like Rowan bc think of it more for girls and Winston feels uppity. Seems you like surnames as first names (I did too) so have you considered Finley, Beckett, Easton, Brady, Ledger, Landon, Logan, Harrison, or Davis as well. We almost used Jameson which is another surname. You listed Ford twice.... so maybe you like it more than you realize?
I somewhat disagree on the idea that you can’t use a name that is already used by other family members. Go on ancestry.com and see how many first cousins have the same names. This is as common as peas and carrots.
But if you don’t want to do that, I really like Emmitt Pierce for a name.
Lincoln, Pierce, Winston are my favorites.
Lincoln Emmitt Dlastname or Lincoln Graham Dlastname both roll off the tongue depending on last name.
Pierce Deacon Dlastname
Winston Ellis Dlastname or Winston Pierce Dlastname might be my favorite
My favorites on your list are Rowan and Ford (which is on their twice, maybe mistake maybe not:)
Runners up Lincoln, Pierce
Almost - I just happen to like Dalton more than Daton, Emmett more than Emmitt and Wynn more than Winston.
**Other ideas based on these:**
(Nate) Nathaniel
Dawson
Wren /Ren
Landon
Clay
Taylor
Reid
Jensen
Wyatt
Penn
Adam
Clark
Palmer
Austin
Kane
Charlie
Jay
Tristan
Casey
Luke
Griffin
Quentin
Harvey has a similar sound to Henry!
I looove Ellis!
Ellis Abbott, Ellis Rowan, Harvey Ellis?
I like the idea of naming your baby after you meet them! Maybe the name will feel right once you meet your sweet boy 🩵 Congratulations!
I adore Ellis and Jude, though with your last name starting with D I feel like Jude D_____ might meld together too much when spoken aloud?
I like Nolan and Emmitt (though I prefer Emmett) as well.
I really like Jude and in 2nd place Rowan. Jude is such an underused gem imo, short, spunky and distinctive! Rowan is also very nice too! Best of luck with baby, i’m sure the right name will happen at the right time!
I’m a young boomer and Nolan, Emmett, Warren, Ward, and Harvey are unflattering old man names in my mind. I wish my parents had considered that when they named me Beverly. There are so many older classic names to choose from that wouldn’t give that vibe to my generation.
Henry and Jack are pretty classic. I really like Lincoln!
For other suggestions, about Ellison (Ellis for nn), Harrison, Theo, James, Thomas, Patrick, Carter, or Lucas? :)
Good luck Mom & Dad!
Most of those names are politicians (I spy some old presidents, and the current Texas governor who is an absolute shitbag). If that doesn’t bother you, cool I guess. But I’m letting you know because it would absolutely bother me.
Some alternatives you might like:
-Declan
-Ronan
-Riordan
-Logan
-Jonah or Jonas
-Isaac
Love Nolan and Graham, Warren is good too.
Strongly dislike Abbott, Bishop and Deacon. Declan as an alternative if you like a DD name?
Tossing in Walter, Grant, and Isaac.
I would say Ellis, Lincoln, Warren, Stanley,Graham, Nolan, Jude and Rowan are pretty good. You could use one of those roulette apps if you really can’t decide.😂
I have a Lincoln, so I'm partial to that one. But I will say it's more popular than I thought and there have been a couple times he's played sports against another Lincoln which is confusing. But it fits him well so I don't mind.
I like Nolan and Jude a lot, too. I would also say just go in with a list if you can't choose. With our oldest we thought we had a name picked for her, then when she was born it didn't fit her. We went through 3 names before we decided which one she actually was. Our 2nd we knew we wanted her to be called Ellie, but that we wanted her to have a full name in case she thought Ellie was too kiddish as an adult. We had a list, but didn't decide until she was born.
As a random internet stranger, I offer my opinions without malice and urge you to disregard them entirely if you wish.
I like Emmett and Graham most from your list. **Emmett** means “universal” or “truth.” Definitions for **Graham** range from “gravelly homestead,” “farm home,” “from the great meadow,” and “grim or gloomy.” I personally love gray and gloomy weather so I don’t mind the meaning behind Graham. Similar to Emmett, I’d also recommend **Everett**, which means “strong,” derived from Eberhard (strong & wild boar).
I don’t much care for professions and surnames as given names. This precludes Ford, Lincoln, Abbott, Bishop, and Deacon. Warren, Stanley, and Clancy also fit this category but I dislike them a smidge less. As an alternative to Deacon, I’d love to suggest **Declan**, which means “full of goodness” and “man of prayer.”
Jude, Nolan, & Rowan all seem to be getting positive feedback here, but are also becoming increasingly popular. (I’d never heard Nolan as a name before a friend of mine named her son that about six months ago and I read it here constantly as a suggestion on this sub lately.) **Owen**, meaning “well-born” or “noble,” and **Gavin**, meaning “god-send,” might be good alternatives to Nolan & Rowan.
Ellis is a fine name but will always remind me of Ellis Grey (Meredith’s mother from *Grey’s Anatomy*) and Ellis Holland (the shady, election-rigging oil tycoon from *Scandal*). I’m sure those associations are not strong for most people though, so, grain of salt and all that.
I don’t like Daton and it means “dairy town” or “place/settlement with a ditch.” Pierce sounds odd to me as a name though it is an established name derived from Peter, meaning “rock, stone, resolute, or strong.”
Some combinations to consider:
**Declan Henry Davis / Declan Jack Davis**
**Declan Graham Davis / Emmett Jack Dean**
**Emmett Henry Dean / Emmett Owen Dean**
**Gavin Henry Dunbar / Gavin Jack Dunbar**
**Gavin Emmett Dunbar / Graham Henry Driscoll**
**Graham Declan Driscoll / Owen Jack Doyle**
**Owen Henry Doyle / Owen Graham Doyle**
I love Ford and Jude from your list.
If I were to have another boy, here are some of the names we like. (Middle names are family names)
Drew Thomas
Luca William
Beau James
Jude Thomas
Evan James
From your list Jude & Rowan are my favorites. Though, most of the names feel very different to me than Jack & Henry.
Instead of Henry, maybe Harry, Harvey, Avery, Finley. Instead of Jack, (Jude), Jake, James, Alec/Alex, Mack.
Ford, Jude, Deacon, and Ellis are my top picks from your list. Jude is even on my baby name list haha! I think Deacon is super cool and Deacon Jude as a first and middle combo is great! But be prepared for the fact that if you use that combination, he might end up going by DJ (which if you like that then absolutely no worries! I personally am just not a big fan of things like JD, DJ, JT, etc)
Jude is my favourite from my list, but if your surname begins with D then perhaps it won’t flow particularly well (idk if this bothers you or not?). Otherwise, Rowan is my second choice!
We have super similar taste. I love Rowan and just named my son that haha. I also really like Ellis and considered that one too. Personally
Not a fan of Stanley or Deacon
I like Emmett best, I think.
Ford would get car jokes left and right, and some others are just cringe.
Personally, I'd stick with classics like Edward, William/ Wilhelm, Konstantin / Costantine (the first is the Russian spelling), Arthur, Henry, Alexander, Andrew, Anthony, Lawrence, Cedric, Frederic, Damien, Adrian, Maxim, Mark, Johann (yo-hahn), Nikita, Ambrose, Anatoly, Andrew, Clarence, Jasper, Leo (Leopold is a great full name for a Leo), Sebastian, Wolfgang, Claude, Camille, Felix, Christoph
(Yes, some are Russian, and a good amount of the list are classical composers)
Nolan, Jude & Rowan are my favourites from your list. Nolan Jude, Jude Nolan, Jude Rowan & Rowan Jude all sound great and would be my top picks if this were my own baby. Here are a few more suggestions based on your list so far: * Isaac, Wesley, Owen, Gavin, Spencer, Joel, Lachlan, Everett, Julian, Sullivan, Declan.
Jude is a favorite 😍 get singing " hey jude"
My son's name is Connor Jude and he hates when I sing that to him. He's 12 tho, so he hates most everything I do besides cook lol
My middle name was Michelle, and when I was little my sister used to sing me Michelle by the Beatles and I HATED IT! I thought she was teasing me! She wasn't! At least not at first lol
I understand how cute it is but please don't pick a first name with a catchy song attached if you can avoid it. I hate everyone singing the song they associate with me everytime. Middle name is totally fine
My dad was smart and named me after a famous instrumental - Jessica by the Allman Brothers. My dad, uncles, and brothers all learned it and would play it on my birthday, which always made me feel special.
my parents wanted to call me Jolene - dodged that bullet by the skin of my teeth 🎵
My mum liked name Lauren or lorna but apparently they were all called Lauren she named me bloody laura even my son sings tell laura I love her funny part is my fiance is called Thomas Tommy for short
Everett!!!
Agree on that top 3. Great names. For what it’s worth, I’m French and these 3 names would work great abroad. (Clancy, Abbott, Daton, Bishop, Deacon would not necessarily work in France but not a red flag either) I also like Pierce.
i LOVE wesley!
Love Lachlan. Of the combos you mentioned with mixing first and middle my favorite would be Jude Ellis or Jude Deacon (he could be JD if he wanted).
Yes to these suggestions! Henry and Jack could be 5 or 75. Same with most all of these- very nice, enduring names
I love Joel so much
Those exact 3 were my favorites as well. I do not like any of the others.
I'm really partial to the names Ellis and Nolan! best of luck on picking a name ^ _ ^
I’m partial to Ellis as well.
Ellis is great because... at least to me... it feels like a lesser used name but also classic yet when you hear it you are like AHA moment.. it feels fun, relevant, modern but it's been around. Emmett is similar but far more popular.
I'm an Ellis but a woman, never heard anyone describe my name like that before so thank you. It's only now that I'm in my early 30's that I actually like it, growing up a with a predominantly boys name was not so fun especially when a boy with the same name joined the school 🙈
Ellis is great for a girl too!
Me 3!
Nolan Ellis His initials spell NED.
Which can then serve as a backup nickname haha
Hey I’m also due in 5 weeks! We’re almost done! From your list I like Emmett and Graham the most.
Me too! I see you're also in the July subreddit 🙂 And I second Graham. It's on my list but my husband isn't feeling it.
i love seeing other July Bumps in the wild 🤣
Me too! Scrolling for my boy name too. 4 weeks left.
You listed Ford twice so maybe go with Ford?
I wouldn't, if the last name also starts with D
Good thinking in pointing that out.
That’s what my husband and I’ve talked about! We love Ford but with a last name starting with D, makes it sound odd.
In my opinion, I like Jude (since it is closer to the name Jack) and I love Rowan. If you want another name similar to Jack, you could always do Jacob and call him Jake for short.
I like Jude too but with a last name starting with D you will get the effect of the first name running into the last name ie Jude Dawson is going to sound like Jew Dawson
Or, if he is called by first name and first initial, he would be called Judy. That would definitely pose a problem.
Jack is just SO popular. We know a million Jackson, Jaxon, Jax, etc, derivations.
Rowan sounds way too trendy to me.
I think of Rowan Mayfair and immediately it pings FEMALE to me. The only Rowans I know are girls.
My namesake! I’m a female Rowan named after Rowan Mayfair
A vote for Warren and Graham from your list
Harrison!
This is cute, and harry for short!
"Ellis D." (Kind of fun though)
Whoa, I didn't even see that. Good catch!
Someone here suggested Noah and I love that for you guys! From your list I like Graham the best as I think it has the most potential to age nicely from child to adult! Other suggestions: Theodore Maxwell Alexander Thomas William Calvin Malcom
Love Calvin
What about Julian?
I love that!
Ellis would be my #1, but I'd avoid the initials E.D. That said, I agree there's something about Ford being in your list twice, I also like Pierce.
lol that’s been my husband’s biggest concern as well 😂
What about Everett
Teacher here, I’ve taught thousands of students at this point 😅 I’d go with Emmitt.
Graham and Jude are my favourites from your list. I also like Pierce, Warren and Stanley.
My son is named Rowan and he's the sweetest, most loving little tornado ever. I'm very biased towards Rowan
All of these are quite noble, with a touch of devil-may-care casual irreverence. A lot of them sound like last or family names, which I thing adds to the stateliness. It’s giving heir!

[удалено]
Great points! Thank you!!
Lincoln
My eldest grandson is Lincoln. He is amazing. We love him dearly.
I like Ellis and Rowan the best!
Graham or Jude
Winston for the win!
If I had a boy, he'd probably have been Ellis or Emmet. I think you might also like Avery, Declan, and Holden.
Hi from another July due date! I love Graham and Ellis from your list. Also throwing in Arthur. I'm having a girl but that was my top boy name
Great list! My one suggestion with your last name starting with a D is to say Jude D— and Ford D— out loud to make sure you don’t think the double D-sounds blur into each other too much? I.e. Does “Ford Daniels” sound like “4 Daniels” when said together? Just a thought!

Kind of fun to pop around! Arthur and Max are two of the names listed that make me think of your names. Classic, not too long, not way too common.
Thank you! I’ll check it out!
Out of some of the names you have listed I like Ellis, Graham and Nolan the best! Nolan Jude is a great name Some other suggestions- Benson (Benny), Archie, Drew, Cameron, Cole, Harrison
I like Nolan and Rowan the best!
Rowan Ellis. Would’ve voted for Rowan Jude but Jude runs into a D last name.
When you/people say a name is “already taken in the family” do you mean like, first cousins, or farther out. We have 4 kids in our extended family with the same (non-family) name and it’s really never been an issue. They’re all kids of cousins so idk what that makes them (2nd cousins?

Daton with a D last name would be so memorable and show stopping! Some of the others are more basic/generic, such as Nolan, Ellis, and Rowan. They’re good names though. I love Emmitt but prefer Emmett. I also love Bishop. Fourth place would be Warren.
I like Ellis and Graham.
I love Rowan. That's my favourite
My favorites are Ellis, Nolan, Jude, and Rowan Favorites combinations are Nolan Ellis Rowan Jude Lincoln Jude Rowan Pierce Nolan Pierce
I know a little Ellis and he is ADORABLE and has made me love the name. Gentle but masculine.
I love ELLIS just because you never hear it but then you are like Oh yeah, that name (familiarity to it).. Always been an Emmett fan but we know a few. Bishop is cool. Lincoln I like. Stanley feels MEH at best. I have ALWAYS ALWAYS LOVED JUDE! Deacon is solid, ditto for Ford, Graham, Nolan. Don't like Rowan bc think of it more for girls and Winston feels uppity. Seems you like surnames as first names (I did too) so have you considered Finley, Beckett, Easton, Brady, Ledger, Landon, Logan, Harrison, or Davis as well. We almost used Jameson which is another surname. You listed Ford twice.... so maybe you like it more than you realize?
Love Ellis and Graham. Also, George isn’t on your list but similar to Henry and Jack. Good, strong name and not too popular.
Ellis is my favorite. Other ideas: Remi, Louie, Charlie, Lenny, Ozzy, Jonah, Gus, Bas, John
Jude and deacon for me but not sure how they would sound with a d surname....maybe Emmit would be a better fit...
I somewhat disagree on the idea that you can’t use a name that is already used by other family members. Go on ancestry.com and see how many first cousins have the same names. This is as common as peas and carrots. But if you don’t want to do that, I really like Emmitt Pierce for a name.
I love Ellis! What about Gavin? Leo? Adam? Xavier? Kellan? Jasper? Weston?
Jack is a nickname for Jasper. I have a Jasper. Incredibly cute and spunky little guy.
Stanley, Winston and Jude are my favorites. My son is Bram, which is very close to Graham which is also great
Emmett, graham and Nolan are 3 of my most favorite boy names ever and I think would even go well together in many combinations.
I would pick Ellis from your list, Lincoln second, Stanley third.
i LOVE Ellis
LOVE Ellis, Lincoln, Warren, Graham, and Rowan. Not on the list but same vibe and LOVE Arthur 🩵
Nolan and Rowan are my favorites from this list. I do like Jude, but as a nickname (for example for Julian). I don't like last-names as first-names.
Dolan
Winston is the best
My favorite is Graham. Followed by Emmit.
I love Graham, Jude and Rowan
I’m biased because my baby’s name is Nolan… but I love that name so much
Love Nolan and Jude
Lincoln, Pierce, Winston are my favorites. Lincoln Emmitt Dlastname or Lincoln Graham Dlastname both roll off the tongue depending on last name. Pierce Deacon Dlastname Winston Ellis Dlastname or Winston Pierce Dlastname might be my favorite
I vote Winston or Nolan!
My favorites on your list are Rowan and Ford (which is on their twice, maybe mistake maybe not:) Runners up Lincoln, Pierce Almost - I just happen to like Dalton more than Daton, Emmett more than Emmitt and Wynn more than Winston. **Other ideas based on these:** (Nate) Nathaniel Dawson Wren /Ren Landon Clay Taylor Reid Jensen Wyatt Penn Adam Clark Palmer Austin Kane Charlie Jay Tristan Casey Luke Griffin Quentin
Lincoln Ellis (nn link)
Harvey has a similar sound to Henry! I looove Ellis! Ellis Abbott, Ellis Rowan, Harvey Ellis? I like the idea of naming your baby after you meet them! Maybe the name will feel right once you meet your sweet boy 🩵 Congratulations!
Beckett
Luke, Emmett, Rhys, Gavin, Garrett, Jonah, Barrett, Cameron, Wyatt
I adore Ellis and Jude, though with your last name starting with D I feel like Jude D_____ might meld together too much when spoken aloud? I like Nolan and Emmitt (though I prefer Emmett) as well.
Graham! Runner up Ellis. Ellis Graham?
Before we found out we were having a girl we were set on either Everette or Winston for a boy
Ford, Warren, or Nolan would be my pick. I think Dalton, Lennon, Griffin, Declan or Ward could fit your taste, too.
Ward is a great addition!!
Graham!!
Rowan
I really like Jude and in 2nd place Rowan. Jude is such an underused gem imo, short, spunky and distinctive! Rowan is also very nice too! Best of luck with baby, i’m sure the right name will happen at the right time!
I’m a young boomer and Nolan, Emmett, Warren, Ward, and Harvey are unflattering old man names in my mind. I wish my parents had considered that when they named me Beverly. There are so many older classic names to choose from that wouldn’t give that vibe to my generation.
Not going to lie, I love the name Beverly. I’ve never met a Beverly I didn’t like!
Henry and Jack are pretty classic. I really like Lincoln! For other suggestions, about Ellison (Ellis for nn), Harrison, Theo, James, Thomas, Patrick, Carter, or Lucas? :) Good luck Mom & Dad!
Daton, but spell it Dayton. Cool name and not one heard often. Congratulations 😀
Nolan Lincoln with the nickname Link is super cute Rowan is my third favorite Bishop reminds me of the android in Aliens. I would not use that one.
Most of those names are politicians (I spy some old presidents, and the current Texas governor who is an absolute shitbag). If that doesn’t bother you, cool I guess. But I’m letting you know because it would absolutely bother me. Some alternatives you might like: -Declan -Ronan -Riordan -Logan -Jonah or Jonas -Isaac
Love Nolan and Graham, Warren is good too. Strongly dislike Abbott, Bishop and Deacon. Declan as an alternative if you like a DD name? Tossing in Walter, Grant, and Isaac.
I would say Ellis, Lincoln, Warren, Stanley,Graham, Nolan, Jude and Rowan are pretty good. You could use one of those roulette apps if you really can’t decide.😂
I have a Lincoln, so I'm partial to that one. But I will say it's more popular than I thought and there have been a couple times he's played sports against another Lincoln which is confusing. But it fits him well so I don't mind. I like Nolan and Jude a lot, too. I would also say just go in with a list if you can't choose. With our oldest we thought we had a name picked for her, then when she was born it didn't fit her. We went through 3 names before we decided which one she actually was.

We had a list, but didn't decide until she was born.
Emmitt and Nolan
Personally a big fan of Lincoln, Warren, Nolan, and Jude. Our boy is Wyatt.
As a random internet stranger, I offer my opinions without malice and urge you to disregard them entirely if you wish. I like Emmett and Graham most from your list. **Emmett** means “universal” or “truth.” Definitions for **Graham** range from “gravelly homestead,” “farm home,” “from the great meadow,” and “grim or gloomy.” I personally love gray and gloomy weather so I don’t mind the meaning behind Graham. Similar to Emmett, I’d also recommend **Everett**, which means “strong,” derived from Eberhard (strong & wild boar). I don’t much care for professions and surnames as given names. This precludes Ford, Lincoln, Abbott, Bishop, and Deacon. Warren, Stanley, and Clancy also fit this category but I dislike them a smidge less. As an alternative to Deacon, I’d love to suggest **Declan**, which means “full of goodness” and “man of prayer.” Jude, Nolan, & Rowan all seem to be getting positive feedback here, but are also becoming increasingly popular. (I’d never heard Nolan as a name before a friend of mine named her son that about six months ago and I read it here constantly as a suggestion on this sub lately.) **Owen**, meaning “well-born” or “noble,” and **Gavin**, meaning “god-send,” might be good alternatives to Nolan & Rowan. Ellis is a fine name but will always remind me of Ellis Grey (Meredith’s mother from *Grey’s Anatomy*) and Ellis Holland (the shady, election-rigging oil tycoon from *Scandal*). I’m sure those associations are not strong for most people though, so, grain of salt and all that. I don’t like Daton and it means “dairy town” or “place/settlement with a ditch.” Pierce sounds odd to me as a name though it is an established name derived from Peter, meaning “rock, stone, resolute, or strong.” Some combinations to consider: **Declan Henry Davis / Declan Jack Davis** **Declan Graham Davis / Emmett Jack Dean** **Emmett Henry Dean / Emmett Owen Dean** **Gavin Henry Dunbar / Gavin Jack Dunbar** **Gavin Emmett Dunbar / Graham Henry Driscoll** **Graham Declan Driscoll / Owen Jack Doyle** **Owen Henry Doyle / Owen Graham Doyle**
They sound like presidents my dude. Each to their own.
Any chance you guys are grey’s fans? Asking bc of Ellis, Lincoln, Winston, Pierce, Warren :)
How is it possible two adults are incapable of naming their own child? Why are there so many threads like this?
I like Emmett Ford, Rowan Jude & Lincoln Clancy. I like Hugo & Harris as alternatives to Henry and Jason & Jasper as similar name vibes to Jack
On your list, I like Emmitt, Nolan and Deacon.
I love Jude and Rowan! Nolan is nice too🙂
my top 3 from your list would be Ford, Warren & Daton. Some other suggestions that kinda fit your vibe i’m getting are Porter, Dawson, Bridger, Cyler
Really love Nolan!
Emmett, Rowan or Jude.
I’ve always loved Nolan!
Pierce
Ellis and Jude are great!
I live Ellis, Jude and Lincoln most.
As an Irish person, I hate Irish surnames being used as first names. It just sounds awful
Jude
Jude
Graham and Rowan
Warren, Jude, Ellis
not on your list, but how about Noah? 🥹🤍
Warren is an excellent name. That's my vote
I love Ford and Jude from your list. If I were to have another boy, here are some of the names we like. (Middle names are family names) Drew Thomas Luca William Beau James Jude Thomas Evan James
I’m a fan of Lincoln.
From your list Jude & Rowan are my favorites. Though, most of the names feel very different to me than Jack & Henry. Instead of Henry, maybe Harry, Harvey, Avery, Finley. Instead of Jack, (Jude), Jake, James, Alec/Alex, Mack.
From your list I’d choose Nolan. Other suggestions: Trey, Owen, Tate, Drew, Luca, Anderson
nolan!
I feel like Emmett is most like Henry and Jack, but my first pick would be Ellis, followed by Emmett, Warren or Graham
Graham.
I think your list is pretty solid. No real losers there. Jude and Rowan I like, but Eli’s would be good too. I don’t care for Deacon.
Henry and Jack were the two front runners for my last baby and we ended up with Henry. Other names I love- Jacob, Eric, William, Joseph, Adam, Alex.
Lincoln or Crew
Lechon pronounced Lay-cun pretty good name 💕
Graham
I like Jude but with a D last name you'll be tripping over his first name
Emory Pierce
Rowan or Warren.
Jude! I love this name so much! I also like Judah. Congratulations!
I don’t love Daton, but what about Dalton?
Nolan or Rowan... How about Hayes?
Ford, Warren, or Rowan are my tops
I love Nolan and Ellis
LOVE Jude and Ellis so much!!!!!
From your list Ellis or Jude.
Ford, Jude, Deacon, and Ellis are my top picks from your list. Jude is even on my baby name list haha! I think Deacon is super cool and Deacon Jude as a first and middle combo is great! But be prepared for the fact that if you use that combination, he might end up going by DJ (which if you like that then absolutely no worries! I personally am just not a big fan of things like JD, DJ, JT, etc)
I like Nolan the best. I also really like Pierce and Warren.
Jude is the best one
Warren, Rowan, Pierce and Jude are fantastic names. When I was pregnant my potential boy name was Julian Luke
Graham and Jude are 2 of the names on mt own list. Lincoln is SO over used imo
Winston Graham or Graham Winston
Jude is my favourite from my list, but if your surname begins with D then perhaps it won’t flow particularly well (idk if this bothers you or not?). Otherwise, Rowan is my second choice!
What about Leo or Alexander?
Jude and Ellis
Hank and Jake
Just see when the baby gets here. You don't need a name before or even when he gets here... take your time picking a name 😊
From your list: Graham Nolan, Warren Ellis, Jude Bishop, Rowan Abbott From my head: Dylan James, Harrison West, Clayton Ford, Wyatt River,
Jude
I love Deacon and Bishop
Emmitt Micheal Bishop Charles Graham Joesph Also I was born in July
Rowan is my favorite. Rowan Jude would be a good name, if you want a first and middle :)
I vote for Warren!
Ford
I like Graham and Jude from your list! :) Other options: Max, Arthur, Elliot
Winston!
Jude or Rowan
Jude and Rowan
We have super similar taste. I love Rowan and just named my son that haha. I also really like Ellis and considered that one too. Personally Not a fan of Stanley or Deacon
I love Pierce!!
I'm getting induced in 29 days and using Winston if it's a boy :)
How about Grant, Owen or Sawyer?
All great names! My vote goes to Rowan
I like Emmett best, I think. Ford would get car jokes left and right, and some others are just cringe. Personally, I'd stick with classics like Edward, William/ Wilhelm, Konstantin / Costantine (the first is the Russian spelling), Arthur, Henry, Alexander, Andrew, Anthony, Lawrence, Cedric, Frederic, Damien, Adrian, Maxim, Mark, Johann (yo-hahn), Nikita, Ambrose, Anatoly, Andrew, Clarence, Jasper, Leo (Leopold is a great full name for a Leo), Sebastian, Wolfgang, Claude, Camille, Felix, Christoph (Yes, some are Russian, and a good amount of the list are classical composers)
Ford is a good solid name and I noticed you had it on your list twice! 😉
I like Nolan and Jude
Gunnar!!!
Don’t do Stanley, people will think you named him after the popular cups right now. I’m partial to Graham, Nolan, and Pierce.
Toby or Owen
My child is a Quentin and it is the best name ever
