[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! Two months pregnant and already dreaming up names. Not sure of the gender yet but we have plenty of girl name options we love…it’s the boys we’re struggling with. Right now the only name we both love and would use is [name_u]Archer[/name_u]. I want to have 2/3 names to go into the hospital with if it is a boy so need some help. Our previous top options just don’t seem to fit us anymore.
Here are some of the names we’ve pretty much nixed and the reasons.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] - too popular with all the [name_m]Lukes[/name_m] and Lucas’s running around
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] - husband hates non [name_u]Harry[/name_u]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] - too popular
Theo/Theodore - too popular
[name_u]Beckham[/name_u] - to [name_u]David[/name_u] [name_u]Beckham[/name_u]?
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I were both born in the 90s with super popular names so we want to stray from popular names for our kid. Probably at least out of the top 20/30 but if we’ve heard the name a lot it’s a no for us as well.
Is there another name similar to [name_u]Archer[/name_u] or you think we would like as much as [name_u]Archer[/name_u]?
