Any Good Boy Names

Updated on July 09, 2012

So when I first found out I was pregnant my boyfriend and I knew if we were having a boy we would name him Leif David. Later on we found out we we're having twin boys. Do you have any good names or suggestions of names that go with Leif. We don't want anything that rhymes (not like there is anything that rhymes with Leif).
Thank you.

What can I do next?

I agree with the other posters that the name would need to be Nordic to go with Leif. I like Soren, Erik or Axel. And Niels. Or Stieg.

You know, I once knew a guy named Rafe (rayf)!

How about something like Michael, Jack, Jax, Carter, Parker....

Or another Scandinavian name like Aksel, Christer, or Nils?

I love the name Aksel :). I also like Neils/Niels (I've seen it spelled both ways...not sure which is grammatically correct...I guess 'i before e'?). Hmmm...Dierks? Henrik? Anton? Kirk? Good luck :)

I like that you are going with something distinct. I can't understand why anyone would go with a name in the top 10, even if you like it. Your baby is an original and his name should represent that! I liked the names Finn, Griffin, and Henry as suggested. I also like Grant, Christian, William, Edward, James, Kyle, and Dean. I don't think the names needs to "go with" Leif...just pick what you like and is special to you.

S.:

In June you said you were about 5 months along with your first child. You didn't know before 5 months you were having twins?

There is a name that rhymes with Leif - Raef - however, I believe it's short for Rafael....I don't know that for sure.

How about names like:
Tyler
Seth
Micah
Noah

Go back through your family history and see if there are names you like there. You might be surprised at what you find.

GOOD LUCK!!

answers from Dover on

I don't think you need a name that "goes w/ Leif" because that name you have already decided on is Leif David. You need a name for the second twin and just as Leif's name was decided on it's own merit, so should the second name. Short of not being the same (or rhyming), I personally don't thing Leif should have any bearing on the other name.

My suggestions: Matthew James, Matthew Charles, or Michael Andrew.

My cousins brother-in-law had twin boys and named them Lake(I don't know how they spelled it) and Levi (like the jeans).

I like Nate BTW.

Good Luck!
