Last night I was discussing names with my husband and these are the names and some combos that top our boys list. We like a couple of different combos and so I thought I would turn to you guys, my trusted name critics, for some opinions. Here are the names individually, and the combos that we prefer:

Titus
Elijah
Aaron (will be used only as a middle name, as it's my husband's middle name and 2 of my cousin's first names, so using it as a first would be confusing at family get togethers)
Adam (my brother's name, so again, only a middle name)
Isaac
Ian
Malachi (only considered as a middle name)

Combos:

Titus Aaron
Titus Adam
Titus Ian
Elijah Aaron
Elijah Adam
Elijah Malachi
Isaac Adam
Isaac Aaron
Ian Elijah
Ian Adam (really not sold on this one)

I personally also love the name Silas, but my husband is completely not sold. Silas Adam has such a nice ring to me, but alas. =)

TIA for your opinions. Are there any other combos you think would sound better? (Feel free to toss in names that arent on this list that you think sound good with the names that are.)

i really like your taste! i like the names isaac and elijah, and i love ian. i don't care too much for your combos, though. :( to me, none of them flow together really well. you seem to really like hebrew names (me too). here are some ideas using other hebrew names:

elias adam
elijah david
isaac josiah
jacob ian
nathanael aaron
titus daniel
zechariah aaron

i don't love isaac josiah, but i couldn't find another hebrew name that goes well with isaac. it's a great name, though. i really like silas adam, so i hope maybe you and your husband will like elias adam cause it's similar. i also think jacob ian sounds fabulous together, and ian jacob could even work too (depending on your last name).

I've tried to convince hubby that Elias is a good name, but that's a no go.
David is my uncles name.
I don't like Josiah.
I like Jacob Ian.
Hubby has a cousin named Nathanael, but I do like it very much.
I really really dislike Daniel.
I LOVE Zechariah, but once again.. that whole hubby thrown in the mix thing *grin*

I really do appreciate your suggestions=) Can you pinpoint what doesnt seem to flow to you? Right now Titus Aaron is our #1 boy's name and Elijah Malachi/Adam is second. Elijah Malachi is a kind of a mouthful, but I do think it flows alright.

out of all the combos, i probably like titus aaron the best, but i don't know why..it just doesn't seem to flow very well to me. with elijah malachi, i think it's the double "uh" sound (eli-JUH mal-UH-ky) that throws me off. i really really do like your taste in names, though! i was going to suggest the name micah too, but if i remember right, that's your husband's name! haha
