mitzu Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Just found out we're having a boy. Having some difficulty with chosing a name, so I would appreciate some input from all of you... I'm looking for something else besides the common ones like Matthew, John, James, Andrew. I'll be reading your suggestions. Quote
Jyoung20 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Woohoo...Congratulations!!! I was terrible with picking out names but I can offer a website.... www.babynames.com God Bless!! Jamie Quote
Ry Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I've always loved the name Zachary for a boy -- it was on our list but didn't really fit with our last name. We named our son Tyler Jaimes which sounded better with a 3 syllable last name. I used baby name books for all my kids-- went through and highlighted all the ones I liked. Quote
Suzie Q Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 What was your dad's name? If you don't want to use his name, you could use a variation of it or another language's version of it. Quote
Connie B Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Lucas, Jeffrey, Rainer, Kyle, Carter, Lyle, Lane, Jack, Adam, Andy, Hunter, Darrin, Just a few that I've always liked over the years. Congratulations! Love those BABIES, they make everyone's heart go pitter patter. Quote
Dollfinn Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I love names like Morgan or Mason. My oldest son is Bradley which is my grandmothers madien name. Give us what weve got to go on and we'll have a go at it! Congradulations. Mary Quote
J.C. Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I always like the name Shane meaning :God is Gracious. Jackie Quote
Sis Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Lots of great name ideas!! I won't add to the list, but will put in a suggestion: Whatever name you're going to refer to your son, make it his FIRST name. My legal name is Mary Eleanor. I've always been called "Ellie" and I'm forever correcting people who refer to me as "Mary". My Brother's legal name is Gerald Frederick. He's called "Rick". What were our parents thinking? My sis lucked out and was actually called by her first name, Maura. It just makes life easier on a person!!! Ellie/Mary/Eleanor/whatever Quote
Snowflake Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 My very uncommon son is commonly named Andrew. No nickname. Sure is nice to have names that are easy to spell and come on the mass "personalized" items that can be purchased. Haven't seen "Moon Unit" on a coffee cup yet... Remember the kid has to tote the name around for life, explaining to people how to say it and how to spell it. Calvin, August, Aloyissius, Clayton, Clive, Claude, Clyde, Derrick, Dirk, Fenton, Fennimore, Melvin/Melvyn, Marvin, Chadwick, Mervin, Walter, Wallace, Anton, Stanley, Stanton, Stuart, Kraus, Oliver, Vladimir, Bartholomew, Spencer, Tyrone, Randolf/Randolph, Rupert, Rodney, Rollin, Roman, Richard, Percival, Jedidiah, Logan, Jeremy, Oscar, Felix, Oswald, Chumbley, Etonkus, Atimere, Errol, Basil, Nigel....

Maryanne Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 I like Chase and Tyler and Dylan. Maryanne Quote
Nova Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Congratulations! I LOVE babies! When I named my eldset son Joshua, there were NO other Joshua's! Next thing I knew, it was extremely over-used! Same with my son Jacob, who also goes by Jake at times. I like Nathan, Matthias, Caleb, "Lucas, Gabriel and Anthony". (3 of my grand sons names!) Quote
tnmynatt Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Brandon--I've always liked this name--no particular reason. Quote
