Boy names are hard!

Some of you might remember a post I did a week ago regarding the name diliemma w/DH's family if we were having a boy....well we found out we are having a boy! The agreement DH and I came to was if we can both agree on a name then we will use Philip as the middle name rather then the first. So basically I've been looking up boy names all morning and I am not seeing anything I love. Chat Icon Please share some boy names you girls like and maybe just maybe we'll agree on something!

I have 3 girls but always had Connor picked for a first boy and Declan for a second boy.

DH and I are in the same boat as you guys. We're having a really hard time choosing anything for this baby boy.

Re: Boy names are hard!

We are having the same problem!!!

I have decided we better not have a baby boy because DH and i cannot agree on a boys name! His family is very italian and "tradition" is to name after his after but everyone has the same 4 or 5 names which drives me crazy! So we agreed to stray out of tradition but all of the italian names I like DH hates or are after one of his 9 uncles which is apparently a No no......

Re: Boy names are hard!

Is it just me or is everything with boys difficult! I mean the bedding has a limited selection...luckily my aunt offered to make the bedding for us! Clothes has a limited selection..it's just not fair!

Here is the list of names I came up with after searching:

Brennan
Dean
Deacon
Jason
Kyle
Nathan
Nicholas (DH's name)
Sean

I also had Jayden on the list, but DH would never go for that so I'm not even putting it on the list as an option.

Re: Boy names are hard!

I'm due in 3 weeks and we still don't have a name picked out for DS. We're probably going to pick at the hospital, but our front runners are Grady, Mason, Max, Remy and Jackson. And the middle name will be either Sebastian or August, based on what we choose for the first name.

Re: Boy names are hard!

We have a bunch of girl names that we both like.

Boy names are a whole other story.

I don't like traditional names. DH isn't on board with any of the boy names that I do like - which are few because of our last name.

He likes 2 - one I'm ok with the other is a "me too" name. Meaning its such a common name right now & I don't want that either.

We both like Sebastian unfortunately his male cousin has a son named that. So thats off our list.

Re: Boy names are hard!

My faves are Mason and Jackson (DH would never go for those). I also like Ryan and Christian. You can take a look at the social security website and get ideas from there too.

There aren't any boys names that I love either...so since my DH really wanted to name our son after him I just agreed. It made that decision very easy.

Yeah we have no clue on boy names. Girl names we are set on. Too bad everyone thinks this Little One is going to be a boy....We'll find out in March and then we will have to figure this out.

Re: Boy names are hard!

I would like to use DH's name and then his fathers as a middle name. Out of all the names I listed I like that best, but do you think its nuts to do this? My name is Nicole, his is Nicholas and then the baby would be Nicholas so when someone says "Nick" we will all say "What!" Chat Icon I don't know I think its kinda cute.

I think that is a very nice name, and you never know, you might not nickname him as Nick...you may just call him by his full name to distinguish him from his father. My brother was named after my dad, and my brother was called by his full name while my dad retained the nickname.

We have our names set already but we made the choice to only use the names of saints. Some of our top choices were:

Thomas
Peter
Christopher
David
Patrick
Matthew
Mark
Luke

Luckily we didn't have that issue. We both loved and agreed on Ethan.

BTW, DH's name is Philip. Chat Icon Chat Icon


ETA: If Chat Icon turns out to be a boy, we will be using Lucas or Aiden.

Re: Boy names are hard!

We have the opposite problem.
We can't seem to find a girl name we love.
Who would have thought?

For a boy we were set on using Christian...

I love Niko for a boy and it would still honor your DH without being exactly the same.
