BA DN name is...

Patrick is the father's mn too

My brother, the father, loves baseball. All his options were baseball related. DN was born yesterday but it took my SIL a while to choose from a couple name. They weren't talking to anyone else so not sure what other choices they had. (For non-baseball fans, I automatically thought Hank Aaron, a great player from the 50s-70s.) Her choice in the end but he got a baseball-related name.

I think they did well, I'm loving it but want to see if I'm bias.

ETA: my brother's other choices were Derek and Eric. My SIL had a few others he won't tell me.

Aww congrats, it's lovely! Very classic. I love the baseball association too :)

Aaron is okay, although a bit boring. I really like Patrick though and I would seriously consider it if I lived in an English speaking country as I love the English prn, but dislike the Swedish one.

I love both names and they sound really nice together. Congrats to your family :)

It’s really nice! Sound flows well, meaning / history is positive, and it will suit someone of any age. Perfect!

Aaron Patrick is very nice. Both names are on my PNL. I probably wouldn't use Aaron because it's too popular for me personally, but it's a great name.

I agree on popularity. It's a name that's never really been on my radar. I only knew one growing up though, a guy in my class from K-12. So I certainly think if him. I figured they'd go with something popular and classic though, just their personalities.

I think it's a really pleasant combo, neither name is a favorite of mine, but both are solid classics.

If they were planning to use Patrick for a mn, then Aaron is definitely better than Derek or Eric!

Not sure if they planned on Patrick or if that's just what she paired with Aaron. But I do agree. I'm still waiting to see what her other choices were, if she'll tell me. So secretative, haha

My youngest sister was the same. She has four girls, and refused to say a word about what names were being considered and what was finally chosen until they were born. She said this was because she wanted to present the world with the baby, saying, "This is (Name)", rather than have the name floating around before anyone had met the baby, because then it's like the baby becomes the name, rather than bestowing a name upon the baby. If you can make sense of that. I don't know if everyone can.

It makes sense. I'm not really sure what their reason was. My brother told everyone right away not to ask. Anyone who asked would get their own name as an answer.
I like your sisters reasoning. I also think I'd rather decide for myself rather than everyone trying to sway me one way or another.

I always like when people don't share the baby's name before it's born because I like being surprised, lol. Same for gender!

Of course, a lot of people who know me already know my favorite names... So I probably can't surprise them too much when the time comes

Hi !!!

Aaron Patrick is a safe choice.
I really like Patrick. Not a big fan of Aaron.

I would love both Derek and Erik.

Congratulation to your family!!!!
