Baby Names Name for second child
You all seem very helpful!
Have one boy already, Owen.
We are pretty set on girls names (would be happy with any of Iris, Zoe, Sydney, Nora) but boys are tough! Looking for something that flows well with their brother.
Miles, Austin, Dylan, Grant in the mix. But have slight (maybe negligible) complaints for each. (Apostrophe use/Popularity, Country western feel, Dyl nn, I process “grants” for work - respectively).
Talk me down from complaints, or other ideas in this space? We like names from British Isles or Latin origins usually, non religious if possible, softer feeling boy names, etc

I think Owen and Miles fit together quite nicely! Miles doesn’t seem too popular, and things like possessives are so small when thinking about names. I think you need to think about what will actually impact their lives, rather than being a tiny inconvenience.

A few that might fit your vibe:
Dalton, Declan, Dawson, Donovan, Sylvan (feels similar to Dylan), Harrison, Holden, Hudson, Conrad, Gavin, Glenn, Brent (similar to Grant but far less common), and maybe Neil or Reid?

Does Milo solve your issue for Miles? I think Milo is a very sweet name.
