Short Boys Name (sibling for Bree)

[SilverWillow]

Hi we already have a little girl called Bree Eliza and we have just found out we are having a boy so we are trying to think of a boys name that goes with it.
We like unusual (but not weird) short names that can't be abbreviated. Hubby likes 'Joel' which I quite like but do you think this would get shortened to Jo?
Today I thought of 'Drew', what do you all think of that name?

Any other suggestions?

Thank you

Thanks, I do like Quinn, never heard of that before. Also Cole, and Ron which was my Dad's name, but I wonder if that will just make people think of Ron from Harry Potter (especially if he is Ginger which is highly possible!)

A Harry Potter fan would think of that. But if we tried to avoid names in popular media forms the decision would be even harder to make!!!

I think if when you think of the name Ron you think of your dad than that trumps any fictional character.

Very true!! Actually we picked Bree because it is Irish and my Dad was Irish but people still think it is after the lady off Desperate Housewives

Ron Cole or Ron Quinn flow well and the dad thing makes it personal which is cute

Quinn Cole or Cole Quinn has a much more modern and cool kid feel to it, like your child will be the most popular in class

Cole Ron unfortunately sounds like colon

Quinn Ron isn't terrible but doesn't flow as well imho

I wouldn't massively worry about harry potter if its a family name, anyone close will know its meaning and anyone else doesn't matter

personally I think Ron Cole Harley (assuming that is your surname from your signature) flows best and will age really well

good luck

I'm partial to Quinn (which is Scottish or Irish depending on where you look it up) my Quinn's middle name is long Alexander, but I quite like Quinn Cole and might have used that had I thought of it.
Ron didn't make me think of HP but if he's a redhead I'd probably go there.

I like Cole personally!

I love Drew!

I know a Joel and he doesn't get it shortened.

Thanks for all your great suggestions everyone, has given us some food for thought Clover that is funny because we had Alexander as a possible middle name in mind! (my daughter's godfather's name) xx
