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.
Thanks everybody for the suggestions. I especially like the suggestions Griffin and Shane. Please keep them coming.
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.
I like: Ben, Adam, Aidan, drew, dain, dean, Eric, gage, griffin, Ian, James, Jett, Kane, Landon, liam, Nate, Oliver, Ryan, sean/Shawn, Tate, will.
I like Finn! And Vaughan!
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 like Finn. It would match well.
Congratulations! Will your sons have a Nordic last name? If so, then I think you have to go with another Nordic first name.
Anders
Erik
Odin
Dane
Thor
Calder
Ryker
Aksel/Axel
Steinar
Asher
S..
lol. :)
Don't know if these "go", but these were on our short-list of boy names (we had 3 girls!)
Carver
Vaughn
Carrick
Soren
Colton
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 :)
Torsten
Hunter
Larz
Eric
Gunther
I like Dillon myself.
Leif and Landon would be cute together, I think. :)
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.
Logan
Landon
Shane
Griffin
CONGRATULATIONS!!
I like the suggestion of Dain.
Alistar, Declan, or Luca
Brendan, Colin, Tristan.
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!!
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.
Nigel
Rhys (pronounce reese - short for Emrys)
Liam
Stone
These are my 2 kids first and middle names.
I love the name Leif :)
love the name Henry. I think if I had had another one it would have been Henry.
my boys are
Andrew Michael
Joseph Matthew
Samuel Alan
and grandsons are
Liam Jacob
Ayden Hunter
Oh, I love the Griffin suggestion!
Maddox
Sawyer
i could go on and on but i need to get to work.
Wyatt
Jayce
Kaleb
Jakobee
Izech
Lane, Luke, Logan
I like matching beginning sounds for twins, one syllable is cool too.
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!
