Help[Opinions] Congratulations!
in reply to a message by Lars
Two little boys. Lots of energy around the house!
I like the name Wolf. It's not my usual taste, but it has a jaunty, stylishness to it that I like.
I'm sorry, but I don't care for either Hawk or Holt. Wolf and Hawk will make people giggle behind your backs. Holt isn't Scandinavian to my ears. It sounds more like the bland surname trend in the U.S. It might make sense if it was a family surname of you or your wife. Other than that, I would stay away from it. (This assumes you live in the U.S. It might work somewhere else.)
Others have probably mentioned this already, but how about Hakon / Haakon? Harold has tons of history to it. Then there's always Hans, Henrik.
Thanks for any feed-back you have time for.
P.S. I do like Hammond a lot. The only potential down-side is the nn Ham. Wolf and Ham? Perhaps I'm just borrowing trouble, but this seems like another pair set for ridicule. Good luck.

Haakon is a cool name, but it's too ethnic. It's not a name or a word that people would normally recognize. And I just plain don't like Harold. (I knew a Harold as a kid and didn't like him. Now that's who I think of when I hear the name.) Too bad, because it is a strong, historical name. Hans and Henrik are acceptable, but they aren't ethnically centered in Old Norse. I have a lot of peculiar rules when it comes to picking my kids names. Makes for a very small field.
I have the same feelings about Hammond that you do. A cool name, but Wolf and Ham? That's a problem.
Thanks for this post. You presented your thoughts very well.
