Re: Henry & James
in reply to a message by Elle
I adore Henry, and with the mn August (which I also love) it's just about perfect. :) James William and James Riley are both just "ok" to me since James is/has been terribly overused. I dislike the nn's Jim and Jimmy, too, but I love Jamie as a nn. I think that would be a redeeming quality to using it as a fn. :)
I like Isaac George the best. I like Isaac quite a bit, and George is a family name for me. I also like Eli but it doesn't flow very well with Isaac, imo. I'm not a big fan of Caleb. It seems to have enjoyed a big surge in popularity lately making it almost trendy, esp. in my area. It also reminds me of Jacob, which I abhor. :-/ I actually know a few sets of brothers named Jacob & Caleb, and neither sound is attractive imo.
For the sibset, definitely Henry, James, & Isaac.
