As I mentioned before in my list of baby girl names we would have picked, Charlie was always going to be a Charlie. Initially we had decided it would be his middle name after a contentious battle over whether or not we would roll with Charles or Charlie.
This list is longer than the other because we had to focus so hard on a boy name as soon as we found out.
Smith
Smith was the alternate name had we not chosen Fox. When Tyler and I were engaged we went to Paris where he drove me around on a Vespa and I saw a street artist painting one of those name art signs and the name Smith. I was immediately drawn to it but, in the end, Fox won out.
Rocco
This was one of my top contenders. Fox even demanded we name the baby Rocco at one point! Tyler wound up axing the name off our list because he didn’t think we could pull off the Italian-sounding moniker.
Rory
Another name chosen while traveling, this one came from a gentleman in Northern Ireland who wanted to give us an itinerary to follow in Belfast. He’d say, “Tell ’em Rory sent ya!” after each and every direction — he must have known everyone in the whole country! Alas, Rory McElhaney sounded like a famous golfer *cough Rory McIlroy cough* and we passed.
Mason
We had chosen Mason. Told the whole family too! Had it engraved on a little wooden toy car and I even had it written on my Starbucks cup. One day we both woke up and realized it was not for us at all! We still love the name, but it didn’t feel right after all.
Thorne
A name I’d loved since I was a kid watching Bold and the Beautiful — ha! After we scrapped Mason, we told our family of our plan to name him Thorne instead. In time, it wound up suiting him best as his middle name.
A few other names we loved but didn’t make the cut:
- Otto
- Finn
- Archer
- Lou
- Bristol

What’s your favorite name for a little boy?
P.S. I had this cute little “T is for Thorne” onesie made by Cheerily.

Lekin har doim e’tiborda bo‘ling: bu jackpotlarga yetib borish uchun ba’zida yuqori tikish qilish talab etiladi. Siz qaysi slotlarni sinab ko‘rmoqchisiz? Jackpotga erishish uchun maxsus rejangiz bormi?

It’s so interesting to hear about the names people almost picked! Smith is such a cool choice. Ghibli Art Generator bit out there, but I kinda love it. Thorne as a middle name is perfect!
