I am due with baby #3, a boy, in about 4 weeks. My husband and I have not really talked about names yet, I guess we are a little less excited by the third time around. He pretty much refuses to talk names with me, so I need some input on some names I like. My biggest criteria for names is that they are recognizable, easy to spell and easy to pronounce. I am not horribly concerned with popularity, but don’t want anything in the top 10 or so. Hubby does not like Bible names. Please give your opinions on my list as well as other suggestions. Our son is [name]Porter[/name] [name]Austin[/name] and daughter is [name]Jillian[/name] [name]Mora[/name], last name is very similar to Hoffman. Thanks so much!
[name]Reed[/name]
[name]Orion[/name]
[name]Vincent[/name] nn [name]Vince[/name]
[name]Clark[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name] or [name]Chaz[/name] --husband has always liked, I find it ok
[name]Waylon[/name] – the only name my husband will suggest, I veto as a first, will consider for a middle.
[name]Reed[/name] – [name]LOVE[/name]. This name is very strong, but also sensitive-sounding. [name]Reed[/name] Hoffman sounds great!
[name]Orion[/name] – This one is cool. I’d love to meet a boy/man named this.
[name]Vincent[/name] nn [name]Vince[/name] – nms, but nice.
[name]Clark[/name] – Great name! Has the same feel as [name]Reed[/name].
[name]Charles[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name] or [name]Chaz[/name] – I like [name]Charles[/name] a lot, but I don’t like the nns as much.
[name]Waylon[/name] – I don’t like this one at all.
Other names you might like:
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]
[name]Sander[/name]
[name]Drew[/name]
[name]Hugh[/name]
[name]Miles[/name]
I really like [name]Orion[/name] but I don’t think it goes well with your other children. I love [name]Reed[/name] and [name]Vincent[/name] with your other children.
I like [name]Vincent[/name] and [name]Clark[/name]. [name]Clark[/name] [name]Waylon[/name] or [name]Vincent[/name] [name]Charles[/name] is the way I’d go. My first choice is [name]Vincent[/name] [name]Charles[/name]- you call him [name]Vince[/name], hubby calls him [name]Chaz[/name]. [name]Win[/name]-win.
Katie8765–Thanks for the suggestions, here are some that I like from your list.
[name]Dalton[/name] Heard this for the first time this summer and really like it.
[name]Calvin[/name] I think this is a great underused name, unique but not too wierd.
[name]Wyatt[/name]
[name]Dylan[/name] Great name, but had a dog named [name]Dillon[/name] a while back.
[name]Garrett[/name]
[name]Bryce[/name] [name]Love[/name] it, was on our list when naming [name]Porter[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] I like a lot, but want to avoid the “er” ending like [name]Porter[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name] [name]Reed[/name] is a nice combo.
Great list esp [name]Dalton[/name] and [name]Calvin[/name] with mn [name]Reed[/name], not a fan of [name]Dylan[/name] though prefer [name]Derrick[/name].
