Boy Name Opinions (Down to two...or three)

[katietopaz]

Because I have nothing better to do on a Friday evening than continue to agonize over choosing a name.

I posted once on TD Baby Names, but we ended up throwing out the name that most seemed to like (Elias, I know, I'm sorry!) so I'm hoping for opinions on our top two/three, as well as middle name suggestions. Our last name is two syllables, so I like the idea of a 1 or 3+ syllable MN, but I'm having trouble coming up with one.

Connor (the current frontrunner)
MNs we like: Anthony, Alexander, Lucas, add suggestions?

Micah - as a FN, no MN ideas yet
August - got added to the mix last week as a possible FN, not sure if it'll stick on our very short list

Would love your opinions on our first name options, as well as any thoughts or suggestions you have for middle names. Thank you in advance!

Connor is the only one up there I like, though I much prefer Conor. Or Conall, which would be infinitely better. I like Alexander for the mn, but I love it for a fn.

I've never been a fan of Micah, and I'm so burned out on August.

[ajetter]

I prefer Connor Alexander of your choices. I do also like August. I personally really dislike the name Micah.

[Idani]

I like Connor and Micah equally with Anthony as a mn

[ruemorgan]

Micah or Connor, I think you should toss August.

[Deleted]

I like Connor especially Connor Alexander! I also like the first name August.

Dislike Micah.

DS2 is August Henry. I had no idea it would become more popular. I heard it a ton in TD after having him but have yet to meet another IRL. Micah Henry was also on our long list, so I love both of those names.

Connor is nice. I like Connor Alexander.

All of this, except I never liked August.

This exactly.

[ashiscute]

I like them in the order you listed. Connor, Micah, and August is a distant 3rd.

I like Anthony or Alexander for the mn spot.

[puppygurl21]

Connor Anthony is my top pick. I do love the name August but agree with PPs that I'm getting burned out by it. It was a top name for us too until it got so popular.

[PurpleIris]

I like Connor Alexander best.

Is Micah pronounced "My-kah" or "Mee-kah"?

[babys2015]

We are naming one of our twins Connor Reid, so that could be an option for you..I also like Connor Alexander but we have a longer last name and didn't want a mouthful. Micah is only ok, and August in NMS.

My-cah

[katietopaz]

Thanks for the input! I think the August love has faded already.

babys2015 I like Reid, but it's not quite DH's style. Nice name choice.

[bromios]

I just want to take a moment to celebrate August's exit from the naming spotlight!

[gator26]

I like Connor Alexander or Connor Lucas.

[sunbutter]

I like all of those choices but in order of preference:  August>Micah>Connor.

[littlecookie]

I actually prefer Micah. Good luck deciding.

[Nittany]

I like Connor and August. Micah is fine but doesn't do much for me.

[ugotstarbucked]

I like Connor and Anthony, and am sad you tossed Elias. August never did much for me, I think it's going to be super dated to 2014-15.

[billyhorrible]

Awww I still have love for August. Followed by Connor if August isn't on the list anymore.

[morwen]

Conor Alexander gets my vote

[viola]

Another vote for Connor Alexander!
