babynames | (no subject)

Because the babies are napping and I'm putting off housework:

My SO and I were discussing names for our next child[ren] recently. Our son's name is Lucas James - middle name after my father. He wants to give our next baby the middle name of Aaron/Erin after his younger brother who passed away last October. I love the idea of honoring his little brother but am having a hard time thinking of names I like that don't rhyme with Aaron/Erin and sound good with a two syllable surname starting with V and ending with an ER.

Right now we have these as potential BOY names:

Christopher Aaron.
Bradley Aaron. <-- his suggestion, I don't like Bradley.
Levi Aaron.
Zachary Aaron.
Drake Aaron.

I had my heart set on the name Adelaide Juliet with this pregnancy, but I ended up with a boy. I wanted to use it for a girl one day but with the new suggestion of Erin as a middle name, it isn't possible [unless I end up with a set of fraternal boy/girl twins, which is a very REAL chance] and I don't think either name really sounds that great with Erin.

Adelaide Erin.
Juliet Erin.

The other girl name I had picked out is Adrienne Lacey. Again, neither of them sounds awesome with Erin, although they aren't horrible combinations. I do not really like Lacey as a first name, though. It's a bit frilly and froo-froo for my tastes.

Adrienne Erin.
Lacey Erin.

I don't like "trendy" names like Aiden/Jayden/Blahblayden. And prefferably nothing on the top 10 in the US right now. We aren't planning on our next child for at least 3 years, but I'm pretty sure the top names won't change all that much..

Any suggestions for boys or girls? Remember, our son's name is Lucas James.

please not Adrienne Erin. Adrienne is MY name, and Erin is the name of my ex-best friend who hates my guts!

honestly though, for a middle name, I think you could get away with spelling it Aaron for a girl, since it's in honor of someone, you know?

because the name is after his brother, who was presumedly named Aaron, not Erin. the names sound the same, but are completely different roots. and personally, I dislike Erin but like Aaron, so if it were me, I'd use Aaron either way, for a middle name.
