So, we found out that LO#3 is going to be DS#2. We are TERRIBLE at naming boys (I really hate figuring out boy names). I would love your input.
DD is Quinn
DS#1 is Bennett
DS$#2 is....

I like Rhett . . . don't know how you feel about it as a full name (instead of a nn).

I think the "ett" ending might be too rhymey! Do you call Bennett anything for short?

I like Everett - it's cute. I don't think it is too close to Bennett, but I think Bennett and Emmett sound like twins.

I voted Emmett because I like that best as a standalone name, but then realized it rhymes with Bennette, so I'd change my vote to Everett.
I do think too much rhyming might cause some confusion though. Sometimes we accidentally call our son our daughter's name and their names are nothing alike. My dad used to mix up me and my sister's names too when we were growing up and they are two completely different names!

@MsLipGloss We have thought about the idea of Rhett as his name, but I'm still not sure. I'm someone who always shortens a name to a nickname, and Everett just seems to lend itself to Rhett as the best nickname.
@Mrs.Champagne We call him Ben or Benny most of the time. He is called Bennett when we meet someone new or I am talking about him.

Everett, hands down. It was on our list!
I think it is super cute with your kids' names.

I would go for a name like Rowan, Declan, or Neal based on the names of other LO's. Rhyming names don't work for me.

We loved Emmett but I also know a cute Rhett. Personally they are too close to bennet though.

I like Powers, but I am guessing that was your husband's pick.
I voted for Everett because a) Rhett and b) Ben goes by an nn too.

@MamaBehr: I'm guessing DH chose Magnus and Powers?
I
Emmett. It was my first choice for my LO because it is my Dad's middle name. DH immediately veto'd it though.
I love your other LO's names too!

I'm partial to Everett and Rhett. I have a great uncle named Everett and a cousin named Rhett after him.
