Just looking for some feedback from strangers
We aren't planning to share our baby's name with anyone before he's born, but I still wanted to get some feedback. We would like to incorporate Timothy into the name, which is my dad's name. We also like its Biblical relevance. Here are the front-runners right now. Thoughts?
Owen Timothy
Grayson Timothy
Isaac Timothy
Timothy Asher (would go by Asher)
His older sisters' names are:
Kaylin and Kendall
Our last name begins with a G and is one syllable long.
Thanks!
Owen Timothy
Grayson Timothy
Isaac Timothy
Timothy Asher (would go by Asher)

Timothy makes a fantastic middle name. I think Isaac Timothy sounds great. I would also love Asher Timothy.
Owen Timothy or Timothy Asher. Why not Asher Timothy?
my question, too. I like Asher Timothy. Isaac would get my 2nd vote. -
Of your options, I best like Isaac Timothy (love Timothy, btw) but Owen Timothy is a close second.
I happen to know someone who has always gone by her middle name (parents planned it that way) and finds it highly frustrating when dealing with official paperwork, institutions, etc., and of all things, with hospital personnel in charge of waking her from anesthesia (which she doesn't do well)...despite telling them ahead of time that she won't answer to her first name and won't even recognize that they are trying to talk to *her*; they simply cannot get it straight and it's happened with every surgery. If Timothy Asher would go by Asher, please consider doing him a favor and naming him Asher Timothy.

Isaac Timothy is my fave combo, though I think Asher Timothy would also be nice.
I don't think Grayson will flow very well with a one-syllable G last name. Owen, Isaac, and Asher are much nicer names anyway! I love all three.
If you'd call him Asher, why not Asher Timothy instead of Timothy Asher?

You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the feedback!
I think the best sib set is:
Kaylin
Kendall
Isaac
Kaylin
Kendall
Isaac
I like Isaac Timothy the best.
I think I prefer Timothy Asher and going by Asher. Or Asher Timothy.
If it was Asher Timothy I would vote for that, but going by your middle name is a giant pain in the behind so I'm not a fan.
So I vote for Isaac Timothy. Love the meaning of Isaac!
I'm not a big fan of Owen but it sounds just fine in the combo.
I'd probably avoid Grayson if your last name starts with G.
Congratulations on the little boy!

I vote for Isaac Timothy. Then I'd say either Timothy Asher or Timothy Owen.
I have a soft spot for Grayson.

Asher reminds me gloomily of cigarettes. Grayson would be perfect for a child with progeria, but in general it gives me the shudders. You've already got a child whose name ends in -n, so I would go for Isaac. It's a much more classic, less modern name than his sisters', but a lot of people are conservative about naming boys.
Why not use Timothy as a fn? I like it a lot.

I really like Timothy. Owen is nice too but Owen Timothy does sound a lot like either "owing Timothy" or "oh, and Timothy." That's the trouble with Owen; must be better as a middle name. You could name him Timothy Owen and call him Owen.
Grayson Timothy sounds like "Grace and Timothy" and I wouldn't be crazy about Grayson Green, Grayson Gregg or whatever your one-syllable g surname is.
Isaac Timothy is my favorite, I think, and just think, you could call him the IT guy for fun. lol
Timothy Asher works but I don't like Asher, it sounds like a sneeze, and though I suggested Timothy Owen, I really don't like it when parents give a first name and then deliberately right from the start call the kid by the middle name. Just name him Asher Timothy and be done with it.

I think Asher Timothy sounds better than Timothy Asher. I think it would be the most appealing of your combos if it were in that order.
I do think Owen Timothy would sound nice with Kaylin and Kendall.

If your child would go by Asher, I think Asher Timothy would work really well. I also think that Asher fits the same general vibe that Kaylin & Kendall have.
My next favorite is Isaac Timothy.
I really like Owen, too, but Grayson isn't really my style. However, I do think it would fit with Kaylin & Kendall.
