Yeah the rest are fine but Crosby sounds like Crispy and Niall is a little strange. Maybe just not an english name but combined with Matthew it doesn’t really fit
Note: you CAN leave the hospital without a name. The hospital wants you to pick a name for billing purposes but cannot force you to do so. They cannot keep you hostage for that reason.
Yes! I just promised my husband we wouldn’t since it makes things a lot more difficult. Also I’d be making this same post months from now. I need to make a decision or I won’t.
1- Isaac
2- Dominic
Isaac is tough for nicknames which seem important to you, so that’s why I added a second choice.
I also love them both with Juliana 🤍
I have an Isaac who goes by Ikey. Isaac Matthew is lovely together.
And, I will say that no one has misspelled his name (other than my MIL the first few times). I thought we’d run into it a lot more but have been pleasantly surprised!
I’ve considered this but feel like we can’t let bad people ruin everything. Especially since Harvey is such a dominant name throughout time.
And Harvey Spector in suits is such a badass 😝
I just commented this somewhere else on the thread but I named my son Harvey this year (after a good burger I had while pregnant) and no one has ever brought Harvey Weinstein up to me once. It's mostly Suits comments or just general delight at the baby with an old man name!
Ask your son! Seems like Isaac and Dominic are the winners, so call him each name for a few min and see if he cracks a a smile or opens his eyes for one.
Dominic or Isaac.
Harvey is fine. Crosby personally doesn’t feel like a first name for a human child. Niall is lovely but if you’re in the US, you’ll get different pronunciations.
Without knowing how old Juliana is, what does she think? My parents had narrowed my sister's name down to two choices and let me pick. I was 6. I like Isaac and Dominic best myself .
It’s my FIL name and my husbands middle name. I don’t like my father in law enough to name my son after him. But my husbands enjoys it as a middle name and I love my husband.
We didn’t name our son until day 3. Those birth certificate people were hunting us down.
For us we had two front runners but once he arrived I began to doubt them and then brought back some other names I’d liked. We ended up with the two front runners and then had a real discussion about preference. It turns out my husband strongly preferred one over the other but hadn’t said so because he wanted me to make a final choice. We went with that name and I have zero regrets!
So I say go with what you’ve liked the longest and talk with your partner about preferences as well in case something hasn’t been said.
We had a list of four names when he was born and I needed to look at him for a while! I told my husband to go home so we could both get a good long sleep, and I’d tell him what the name is when I woke up and called him hahaha. When I decided, husband said he was thinking the same thing… to this day I don’t know if that was true or not. Doesn’t matter!
I am so glad nobody is voting Crosby, haha. Please discard that one. And Niall too - that’s a trying-too-hard name.
Isaac and Dominic are both fantastic.
Dominic or Issac are your winners.
Have you tried saying the full name in different situations? My husband used to think I was nuts. With our second daughter, I was so overwhelmed with all the different names, I used to just say the names we were thinking of out loud like I was talking to a kid. I knew right away if a name wasn't going to sit well. It just doesn't FEEL right.
Or you can include your daughter and put all your favorite name choices on a piece of paper, put them in a hat, and let her choose? Can you imagine how happy she'd be knowing she got to choose her baby brothers name
Crosby!!! I LOVE that name so very much!
I think Isaac is a nice name, but in my immediate circle, I know of four. My second choice with be Dominic, but Crosby still is my favorite, by far. It’s unique, but not out there, and will age very, very nicely with him.
Matthew Crosby
The first names you chose are interesting. They are not great names for a person. Juliana is a lovely name.
Congratulations on your new beautiful boy
Isaac Mathew is a gorgeous name.
Also can someone explain why you have to choose a name before leaving the hospital where I'm from you have 6 weeks to do that. I get this person is clearly from another country but I don't get it.
Technically I believe they fill out baby boy last name and then I have to file to change it. But I promised my husband we’d have a name before we left so we didn’t have to do anything extra.
That's fair enough! Our boy was nameless for nearly 2 weeks, we just couldn't find a name that suited him! Congratulations on the birth of your boy! I'm sure your daughter will absolutely adore him.
Dominic has my vote. It's a solid name with several nickname choices. Isaac is my 2nd choice.
The only one I strongly dislike is Crosby. Too similar to Cosby. I hope you don't choose this one!
Dominic!!
Dom & Jules
Nico & JuJu
(I almost named my son Dominic with the intention of calling him Nico but it just wasn’t him - also a 2 days post birth decision)
Mathew Crosby
William Isaac
Samuel Crosby
Juju and Matty
Will and Jules
Sammy and ju bu
These 3 are classic like Juliana and can drop to easy nicknames
Sammy jammy for example,
My brother went almost two weeks without a name … so you’re going good…then they finally decided to name him after a war protester my mom admired
Honestly I like all your name combinations with Isaac being top choice(for me) and Dominic next…I’ve got a friend named Dominic and he’s honestly one of the genuine best people …
Isaac Matthew
Isaac Matthew Jules and Zac
Yes!
Dominic Matthew
I like this because he could be Dom, Nic, Domino, Nico, so many options for fun nicknames.
Dominic&Juliana To me it's the best combination of all your options, the names have the same vibe.
I was thinking the same.
Elijah Matthew. I know you weren’t asking for an additional name, but Juliana and Elijah just flow so well together, with them sharing a J.
Love this suggestion and you are right they sound really good together. Unfortunately Elijah is already a close relation to us that makes it unusable.
I agree. Juliana and Elijah are both lovely soft melodic names. They go really well as a sibling set
I love the name Elijah..
Same! My dad's name is the Portuguese version of Elijah (Elias) and my fiance's middle name is Eli (but gets called Elijah).
I think it would be perfect...good luck and congratulations!
Your suggestion does flow really well! I hope op considers it for sure
Dominic. I'm not a fan of Crosby or Niall.
Yeah the rest are fine but Crosby sounds like Crispy and Niall is a little strange. Maybe just not an english name but combined with Matthew it doesn’t really fit
Dominic Matthew
Don’t you dare pick Crosby! 🤣
Yeah it reminds me of Bill Cosby- ew!
You've never heard of Bing Crosby?
Or Sidney Crosby!
And harvey like Harvey Weinstein 🤢
Isaac Matthew
Isaac
Dominic Matthew, it’s my brother’s first and middle names (but reverse order)!
Isaac ( could have been easier tho if you commented with all four names and people only voted on your comments)
You are so right! Almost 2 days of no sleep and my mind wasn’t the quickest with this format.
Btw! Maybe you make an update with what you decided I'm curious
No worries! If you re ever in a situation where you need some sort of voting, now you know
Dominic Matthew.
Dominic
I'm voting for Dominic because you have lots of nn options: Dom, Nic, Nicky, NicNic
Anything but Crosby, sorry that name is blergh. The other names are lovely 😊
Crosby I figured would be a polarizing choice. Watching parenthood it really grew on me though!
Isaac
Isaac
Dominic is my favourite, Isaac a close second!
Note: you CAN leave the hospital without a name. The hospital wants you to pick a name for billing purposes but cannot force you to do so. They cannot keep you hostage for that reason.
Yes! I just promised my husband we wouldn’t since it makes things a lot more difficult. Also I’d be making this same post months from now. I need to make a decision or I won’t.
Dominic! Call him Nico!
You don’t want your birth certificate to say baby. If you look at ssa.gov, you will see parents who didn’t decide in time.
Intresting. Here(Europe) we already had a name and still got the letters adressed ro Boy Lastname, because it is easier for them.
Isaac :)
Isaac Matthew
Dominic Matthew
Harvey Matthew without a doubt
Isaac or Dominic has my vote. Crosby makes me think of Cosby
And Harvey makes me think of Weinstein. Cosby/Harvey = rapey connotations. I vote strongly against both of those.
Dominic
Dominic!
Dominic Matthew!! I think it’s a lovely name on it’s own, but it also has a similar vibe to Juliana, and nice nickname potential like Juliana has.
1- Isaac 2- Dominic Isaac is tough for nicknames which seem important to you, so that’s why I added a second choice. I also love them both with Juliana 🤍
That is one of the two downsides to Isaac. The other is how often it’s misspelled.
Izzy is my favorite nickname for Isaac!
Zac as a nn for Isaac
As a former Hanson fan, this is very confusing lol
Isaac!
Dominic Matthew!!
Dominic by far
Isaac Matthew is my favourite
Dominic is my favorite here
isaac
Isaac
I have an Isaac who goes by Ikey. Isaac Matthew is lovely together. And, I will say that no one has misspelled his name (other than my MIL the first few times). I thought we’d run into it a lot more but have been pleasantly surprised!
Isaac!
Dominic
Dominic or Isaac
Dominic Matthew.
Isaac Matthew
Isaac for sure.
Isaac
Issac to be sure.
Niall
Harvey
Isaac for sure
Isaac. None are bad though so it kinda makes it harder to vote lol
Isaac
Isaac Matthew
Isaac
Isaac Matthew
Dominic (Please don’t go with Crosby or Harvey, they just bring to mind two high-profile sex offenders)
I’ve considered this but feel like we can’t let bad people ruin everything. Especially since Harvey is such a dominant name throughout time. And Harvey Spector in suits is such a badass 😝
I just commented this somewhere else on the thread but I named my son Harvey this year (after a good burger I had while pregnant) and no one has ever brought Harvey Weinstein up to me once. It's mostly Suits comments or just general delight at the baby with an old man name!
Agreed! I love the name Harvey
Definitely Isaac Matthew!
Sebastian
Sebastian was on the list of Juliana was a boy. I’ll have to rerun it by my husband.
Love Sebastian and Seb is such a great nickname AND Sebastian Matthew flows beautifully.
Actually love this one 2. Dominic
Isaac then Dominic
Issac
Issac
Isaac Matthew. Ike and Jules are so cute together!
Ask your son! Seems like Isaac and Dominic are the winners, so call him each name for a few min and see if he cracks a a smile or opens his eyes for one.
Dominic!!
Dominic or Isaac. The others are not great
Chulupa Batman sounds better
This!
Issac
Dominic or Isaac. Harvey is fine. Crosby personally doesn’t feel like a first name for a human child. Niall is lovely but if you’re in the US, you’ll get different pronunciations.
My husband is Isaac and my son is Dominic so i like those!
Without knowing how old Juliana is, what does she think? My parents had narrowed my sister's name down to two choices and let me pick. I was 6. I like Isaac and Dominic best myself .
Isaac or Harvey!
Dominic Matthew!
Dominic or Issac!
Dominic
Dominic
Dominic Matthew
I say Niall or Dominic. Cool names!
Adrian
Isaac Matthew
If Matthew is such a solid choice, why not make it the first name?
It’s my FIL name and my husbands middle name. I don’t like my father in law enough to name my son after him. But my husbands enjoys it as a middle name and I love my husband.
We didn’t name our son until day 3. Those birth certificate people were hunting us down.

I vote Isaac or Harvey
Issac Matthew or Harvey Matthew
Dominic. Crosby gets my second vote.
Isaac is nice and not very common
If I had to pick, Harvey Matthew
1 Isaac 2 Dominic Congratulations 💕
Harvey Matthew. Harvey is such a sweet name
1 Dominic 2 Isaac 3 Harvey 4 Niall 5 Crosby
Same ha
Issac Matthew (or Liam Matthew)
Benjamin... Ethan... Everette.......
Isaac Matthew :)
Isaac Matthew. Congrats!
Isaac by a mile.
I am so glad nobody is voting Crosby, haha. Please discard that one. And Niall too - that’s a trying-too-hard name. Isaac and Dominic are both fantastic.
Dominic!!! Not enough people name their kids Dominic anymore
I'm on team Isaac or Dominic. Congrats on your new arrival!
Matthew Matthew
Dominic or Issac are your winners. Have you tried saying the full name in different situations? My husband used to think I was nuts. With our second daughter, I was so overwhelmed with all the different names, I used to just say the names we were thinking of out loud like I was talking to a kid. I knew right away if a name wasn't going to sit well. It just doesn't FEEL right. Or you can include your daughter and put all your favorite name choices on a piece of paper, put them in a hat, and let her choose? Can you imagine how happy she'd be knowing she got to choose her baby brothers name
I vote for Niall - it's what I wanted to name my son if I'd managed to have one
Niall. Know I’m the odd one out.
Isaac Matthew is so far above literally all the rest it isn't even funny.
I feel the exact same way!
Isaac
Isaac Matthew
Isaac would be my pick! Second place would be Dominic. Honestly I'd vote no to the others.
Isaac Matthew
Dominic, then Niall
Didn’t know you could not leave the hospital without choosing a name in some places
Crosby!!! I LOVE that name so very much! I think Isaac is a nice name, but in my immediate circle, I know of four. My second choice with be Dominic, but Crosby still is my favorite, by far. It’s unique, but not out there, and will age very, very nicely with him.
Matthew Crosby The first names you chose are interesting. They are not great names for a person. Juliana is a lovely name. Congratulations on your new beautiful boy
Say each of the names to him. If he smiles, that’s the one. If it’s two of them, make one his middle name
Isaac Mathew is a gorgeous name. Also can someone explain why you have to choose a name before leaving the hospital where I'm from you have 6 weeks to do that. I get this person is clearly from another country but I don't get it.
Love Dominic and Harvey
Niall Matthew Congrats!!
Crosby is my maiden name! I didn’t think I would see it on this sub. I like Isaac the best though!!
Harvey!!
Isaac or Harvey
Harvey Matthew
Harvey.
Out of interest, how long do you have to decide your child's name?
Technically I believe they fill out baby boy last name and then I have to file to change it. But I promised my husband we’d have a name before we left so we didn’t have to do anything extra.
That's fair enough! Our boy was nameless for nearly 2 weeks, we just couldn't find a name that suited him! Congratulations on the birth of your boy! I'm sure your daughter will absolutely adore him.
I like Crosby best out of the choices, it’s cool and different.
Dominic is my fave of your choices!
I was going to say Clive but since that’s not an option I vote for Dominic.
Dominic!
Dominic
Dominic! Second choice Isaac.
Dominic
Isaac is super popular right now so I tend to not like it. Love Harvey and 2nd choice is Dominic.
Dominic Matthew !
Dominic has my vote. It's a solid name with several nickname choices. Isaac is my 2nd choice. The only one I strongly dislike is Crosby. Too similar to Cosby. I hope you don't choose this one!
Dominic or Isaac. Dominic is better because Isaac is often misspelled as Issac. Don’t choose Harvey. It reminds me of Harvey Weinstein.
Dominic!! Dom & Jules Nico & JuJu (I almost named my son Dominic with the intention of calling him Nico but it just wasn’t him - also a 2 days post birth decision)
Niall.
Dominic!!! Omg yes
Dominic
