Baby boy name help!!

[geauxtigers79]

Good morning all!! DS is scheduled to arrive Jan 2017 and we are stuck in the name game. DD is Emer.son Mar.ie (I know not popular for a girl, but we loved it and the name fits her fiery personality!!).

Middle name for brother will be Henry. Two names that are in the running:

Benjamin Henry
Jacob Henry

Any and all suggestions welcome!!

Both Benjamin and Jacob are nice classic names. But after using a boy name on your daughter, I guess I would expect something with a little more "pop" for your son, if that makes sense?

How do you feel about...

Sebastian
August
Simon
Ivan
Asher
Quentin
Gideon
Abraham
Benedict
Shiloh

I second this. I would go with something a little less expected:

Francis Henry

Julian Henry

Auberon Henry

Carlisle Henry

Lynn Henry

Piers Henry

Atlas Henry

Caius Henry

Finnian Henry

Graeme Henry

Milo Henry

Niall Henry

Orion Henry

Orrin Henry

Ronan Henry

Raphael Henry

Seth Henry

Thayer Henry

I actually disagree with bromios here, I think you need a name that's aggressively male (a name with no crossover potential for the foreseeable future).

I prefer Benjamin to Jacob

I don't love the sound and rythm of Benjamin and Emerson together so I would go with Jacob

Patrick?

We came thisclose to naming DS Patrick Henry and wound up with Patrick Alexander instead. DD's name is also a little non-traditional and starts with an E. It works.
