Baby Names

@aniko I think Benson is the cutest but if you like cambell then go with that! It’s not a K name so the kids won’t think of the letter sound C being the same as K. Maybe when they’re older but it won’t be weird. Best of luck!
 
@aniko I have to agree that if you use Campbell, spell it correctly.

Elsewise, you'll know the right name when you find it. As you did with your first. I say this after 3 girls, 😆 and I feel girl names are more difficult. There are way too many bad associations.

Anyway, my husband and I are both J, Our older daughters are K, and the baby is an A. Some people were mighty pissed we didn't do another K. However, we didn't like any non taken options for K, and originally, I was going to use a C with my second to avoid this.

However, the baby our OB delivered moments before had the same name with a C, so we used the K my husband wanted. Considering they were already sharing a birthday, birthplace, and practically a birth time, it seemed wise to spell the name as differently as possible from them. They also doubled a constant that we didn't.

With our first, I knew immediately. With our second, my husband suggested something I didn't like right away, but within 2 days, I decided that was it, and I loved it. With our third, it took a lot of time, and there were many names we were ok with until we found the right one.

Sometimes, we try to settle because it seems we have looked at everything 100 times already. You will find the name eventually. Mind you with each of my daughtera names, my MIL actively hated the names very vocally, but it didn't matter because they were the name. (All of my daughters have beautiful names, and she is the only one who has ever thought the names were bad) she wanted Kathryn, Elizabeth, Jessica, Leah, or Lilly. All of which are taken in our families, too.

Lastly, to find my last daughters name, I looked at a rarest names list. It worked.
 
@aniko Agree with the Cambell comments. Also would think about Brady Thomas as being really close to ‘Tom Brady’ so unless you are big Patriots fans you might want to consider you’ll get asked constantly if he’s named after him…
 
@aniko Branson/Brandson. That's one that I have heard. Braydon used to be very popular in early 2010s Also Bryce/Brice/Bryson

Or... Bentley. I have a friend whose twins are Bentley and Remington (Benny and Remmy) I personally wouldn't want Car and Gun as names for my children lol my husband jokes Gunwrack
 
I used to babysit (many years ago) and they named their son "Brady Wayne"

When I named my daughter, I had a difficult time. What would she be called in her 60s. We chose Kenzlie which many nicknames are used and there are options when she's old. But we also named her after my husband's mom. Middle names are Lorraine. So she could have more options for herself.
 
@aniko Benson for sure!! Cambell will constantly be misspelled and everyone will bring up the soup. Morgan Jay sounds like a kind of bird. And Brady will always get questions if he was named after the quarterback
