22 weeks and we cannot decide on a name! Help!

I thought I would get some input on this. I found this website in a magazine and checked it out. I searched the “hot Lists” and nothing. We have been searching other sites almost every day and cannot agree. :frowning: Any input/suggestions would be appreciated!

My son, fiance and myself ALL have to agree on the name and it has yet to happen! :frowning:

*I would like to use [name]James[/name] as a middle name as it’s my dad’s name.

I like:
[name]Drake[/name] - he hates
[name]Lane[/name] - neither likes
[name]Landon[/name] - neither likes
[name]Dawson[/name] [name]James[/name] - Really like, my son only likes [name]Dawson[/name] and he isn’t sold on it.
[name]Jackson[/name] - Like it but we already have a [name]Jack[/name] in the family
[name]Dayton[/name] - [name]Noone[/name] likes
[name]Aiden[/name] - we like, my son doesn’t like.
[name]Addison[/name] - Neither likes
[name]Ashton[/name]
[name]Reece[/name] - [name]Son[/name] doesn’t like

He likes:
[name]Jaiden[/name] - We have a friend that has a [name]Jaiden[/name] and I am not crazy about it. My son likes it.
[name]Jesse[/name] [name]James[/name] - NO [name]WAY[/name]! Plus his last name starts with [name]Bess[/name]!
[name]Lance[/name] - Yuck - No offense
[name]Trent[/name] - Sounds back woodsy to me!
[name]Trey[/name] - It’s “okay” at best!
[name]Presley[/name] - Huge [name]Elvis[/name] fan
[name]Van[/name] - Big [name]Van[/name] Halen fan! UGH!
[name]Hunter[/name]

My son likes: (my son will be 9 next month)
[name]Jackson[/name] - He wants to call him [name]Jax[/name].
[name]Jaylen[/name] - I don’t like
Acen - ??
[name]Dawson[/name]
[name]Hunter[/name]
[name]Ashton[/name]

We all “kind” of like but aren’t sold on these:
[name]Colin[/name]
[name]Conner[/name]
[name]Remington[/name] - Not sure about this one
[name]Cole[/name]
[name]Marley[/name] - Cute for baby not sure for adult
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Evan[/name]

His last name starts with a B so I would like to stay away from a B name.

Thanks!

Phew! Sounds like you’re getting stressed about finding a great name! But no worries, everyone here loves names & will come along soon with some great ideas. And I’m sure you’ll find something perfect. Oh and I love the name [name]James[/name] for the middle!

[name]Drake[/name] - Hmm [name]Do[/name] they like [name]Dane[/name], [name]Dalton[/name] or [name]Drew[/name]? They kind of have the same sound.
[name]Lane[/name] - I think this is us kind of girly sounding. . . [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Liam[/name], [name]Landon[/name] or [name]Lincoln[/name]? [name]Lincoln[/name] [name]James[/name] is great I think!
[name]Landon[/name] - Oh rats guess that means [name]Landon[/name] is out
[name]Dawson[/name] [name]James[/name] - I really like this! What do the guys think about [name]Donovan[/name] - it kind of has a similar sound - and [name]Donovan[/name] [name]James[/name] is very handome!
[name]Aiden[/name] - This name (along with all the similar sounding Bradens, Cadens and Jaydens) is getting super popular and really isn’t my style . . . What about [name]Corbin[/name]?
[name]Addison[/name] - This is being used a lot for girls :frowning:
[name]Ashton[/name] - Does [name]Asher[/name] or [name]Archer[/name] go over any better?
[name]Reece[/name] - What about [name]Rhett[/name], [name]Ronan[/name] or [name]Rowan[/name]?

[name]Jaiden[/name] - I don’t care for this either. . .
[name]Jesse[/name] [name]James[/name] - Oh man. [name]Jess[/name] [name]Bess[/name]----. There has been a nameberry blog the past 2 days about western names. Maybe something will strike him from those lists.
[name]Lance[/name] - Hmm what about [name]Marc[/name] or [name]March[/name]?
[name]Trent[/name] & [name]Trey[/name] - Ohh!! [name]How[/name] about [name]Tate[/name]? It has same sound as these 2 plus the kind of country sound that he seems to like. And [name]Tate[/name] Jmes is so great!
[name]Hunter[/name] - My husband likes this one too. Must be a guy thing. Some other names that he likes that are along that vein are [name]Colt[/name], [name]Harley[/name], [name]Tucker[/name], [name]Miller[/name] and [name]Archer[/name].

[name]Jaylen[/name] - Kind of feminine sounding
Acen - ??
[name]Dawson[/name]
[name]Hunter[/name]
[name]Ashton[/name]

We all “kind” of like but aren’t sold on these:
[name]Colin[/name], [name]Conner[/name] & [name]Cole[/name] - Very handsome. Have you thought about [name]Carter[/name] or [name]Carson[/name]?
[name]Remington[/name] - I know someone who has a dog named this so I can’t get over that . . . [name]Remy[/name] is a cute nickname though
[name]Marley[/name] - This is being used for girls mostly
[name]Owen[/name] - [name]Owen[/name] [name]James[/name] is so handsome!
[name]Evan[/name] - Cute

Lets see it is hard to choose but my faves are [name]Dalton[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Dawson[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Tate[/name] [name]James[/name], and [name]Owen[/name] [name]James[/name]

Any of these strike your fancy?

One idea for you: On the nameberry Supersearch, you can plug in just the qualities you want to look for – boys’ names with two syllables that end in “on” for instance – here’s a link to that search, which gets you more than 800 ideas. https://nameberry.com/search?gender=M&starts_with=&ends_with=on&syllables=2&language_id=&meaning_group_id=&popularity=0&x=63&y=13

You can also do the same thing for 3 syllables, or try an 'er" ending instead, plus filter for popularity. You might come up with some ideas you haven’t considered yet and arrive at something that everyone will love. Your 9 year old might have a lot of fun with it!

Of the names you listed, I love [name]Owen[/name] [name]James[/name] and [name]Evan[/name] [name]James[/name]. What about…

[name]Parker[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Chandler[/name] [name]James[/name] (disclaimer: I have seen this as on both girls and boys and don’t know how you feel about unisex names. It seems more masculine to me, but probably because the first one I knew was a boy.)
[name]Porter[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Hudson[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]William[/name] [name]James[/name] nn [name]Will[/name]
[name]Braden[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Kyle[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Colby[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Liam[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Holden[/name] [name]James[/name]

[name]Just[/name] some thoughts. Good luck and let us know what you decide!

What about [name]Nolan[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Declan[/name] [name]James[/name], or [name]Dorian[/name] [name]James[/name]?
