Sorry neither floats my boat either OP. I like your older son’s name.

I like the sound of Emmett and Jed.

#6 MrsT2018

Posted 03 December 2018 - 10:22 AM

Out of the two options I would say Jed goes better with Emmett.

Love Emmett. I prefer Jed over Merrick. Do you have any other options?

Astrocyte-nope but open to suggestions 🙈

I quite like Jed evenn though  it's a bit Beverly Hillbillies (omg the 2nd time I've typed that word today - how weird) but I don't think will be relevant to him or his peers :)

Suggestions -

Jared
Dean
Jeremy ( nn Jem)
Rohin
Leif
Rodrick
Marley

Of the two I prefer Jed but neither are favourites. I do love Emmett though. We nearly went with Emmett but ended up with Lucas

I know a Gerard who goes by the nickname Jed - might be an option?

I think Emmett and Merrick seem a bit sorta matchy.. I don't know why but they do to me.

Jed is nice but I don't think it fits with Emmett. Emmett is soft and nice and Jed is much more 'masculine' and harsh sounding.

What about:

Ambrose
Tobias
Elias
Julian
Gabriel
Tristan
Henry
George
Abel
Ezra
Maxim
Louis
Vincent
Hamish

Merrick doesn't really appeal to me.

Jed is fine, I would pick that.

Jedd

Love this name..was on my list!

#16 Ollie83

Posted 03 December 2018 - 03:25 PM

I like Jed and Judd too.

Merrick just doesn’t sit well with me, I can’t my finger on why.

#17 MsLaurie

Posted 03 December 2018 - 04:07 PM

Merrick and Emmett don’t quite work together. The similar double middle sound and length of name will probably have you saying β€œEmmick” and β€œMerrett” half the time.

Vote therefore for Jed.

But perhaps Jude or Josh would work better with Emmett?

#18 JosΓ©

Posted 03 December 2018 - 04:14 PM

Jed. by a mile.

#19 ELF_em_bee

Posted 03 December 2018 - 04:19 PM

Sorry, neither.  Both sound a bit bogan.

#20 FuzzyChocolateToes

Posted 03 December 2018 - 04:22 PM

Not a fan of either I'm afraid.

#21 majirlo

Posted 03 December 2018 - 04:24 PM

Of the two I would choose Jed.

Emmett and Irah
Emmett and Zeke
Emmett and Wyatt
Emmett and Oakley
Emmett and Jasper
Emmett and Amos
Emmett and Milo
Emmett and Spencer
Also like PP's Emmett and Griffin

I like Jed more but it feels like a nick?

I like Jet, Jake, Zach, Zeke, Zed etc as NNs.

Prefer Kendrick or Isaac to Merrick.
