In Reserve: Possible Names for a Second Son
Even before the pregnancy test came back positive, I had a strong sense that our second child was a girl.
Intuition didn’t stop me from discussing boys’ names with Arthur. So much that he finally insisted that we wait until the ultrasound, at which point it was moot. Claire Caroline Wren – Clio – was on her way.
Our firstborn is Alexander Arthur, after my father-in-law Alexander, my grandfather Arthur and, of course, Arthur. There just wasn’t a clear choice for a second boys’ name. Plus, I always feel like we flubbed his nickname – though he wears Aly fine. Our list for a second daughter is well thought out, but a boy?
We would have figured something out. I think.
Baby Name of the Day: Errol
He’s a Hollywood appellation with a Harry Potter twist.
Thanks to JNE for suggesting Errol as Baby Name of the Day.
Name of the Day: Felix
Call it the x factor.
Whether it’s an actual “x” – as in Alex – or just a “ks” pretending – like in Jackson – there’s something about that sound. And while I’ll bet you know at least one pint-sized Jackson, and perhaps a dozen Alexes of every age, there is one x-factor name that is woefully underused.
Yes, we’re quite serious about Felix.
