35 weeks and still no name :(

Boy Names
1

Our little one is due in 5 weeks and we are really struggling with a boy name (gender unknown). If this is a girl, her name will be [name_f]Maren[/name_f]. Boy names currently on our list:

[name_u]Grey[/name_u]- my top choice, husband has all but vetoed. Says it’s too “soft” sounding. I dislike [name_m]Greyson[/name_m].
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]- we both like, but worry about popularity.
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]- husband’s top choice. It feels overused and sort of country to me.

Other names we like, but can’t use: [name_m]Griffin[/name_m], [name_u]Bryce[/name_u], any names ending in -er (doesn’t flow with our last name)

Please help us find a great name so I can get some sleep again before baby arrives! [name_f]TIA[/name_f]

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]! :). If it’s what you love fight for it. I had my 4th 6 months ago, we waited 6 weeks to name him only for paperwork reasons we planned to change it so we have hashed over so many names and ended up (I think) at [name_u]Grey[/name_u], however, 6 months ago my husband would have never agreed… I’m glad I didn’t back down :slight_smile: and tears help :slight_smile: Good
[name_m]Luck[/name_m]!

Thanks so much for all of your wonderful suggestions! You’ve given us a lot of potential new names to consider. And @jillianh44, I’m not giving up on [name_u]Grey[/name_u] yet. I think it’s so perfect for us. I think he just doesn’t like it because he’s never heard it before. I’m quietly backing off because he’s the type who will dig his heels in even more if I push it. But I did just send him a link to this thread so he can read the comments. And I’m not above crying :wink:
