Baby Due in 7 weeks! No names narrowed down

Boy Names
1

[name]Hi[/name] everyone. We are due in 7 weeks. We don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy, but our girls names are pretty much picked already. We’re stuck on our boys names though. We have a long list, but nothing that really stands out as THE name. So far, our top two names are [name]Cooper[/name] and [name]Hudson[/name]. Our last name is two syllables and starts with the sound “[name]Ray[/name] ____”, so most first names that start with an “R”, don’t really go.

Here is our list of likes:

[name]Booker[/name]
[name]Bowen[/name]
[name]Burke[/name]
[name]Calder[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Dalton[/name]
[name]Decker[/name]
[name]Easton[/name]
[name]Finley[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Gunner[/name]
[name]Holden[/name]
[name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Hunter[/name]
[name]Lane[/name]
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Nolan[/name]
[name]Porter[/name]
[name]Ryder[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Walker[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]

Any other suggestions? As you can tell, we like different names, and a lot have a last-name influence that many people don’t like, but I’m not really asking for an opinion on that. I would just like some more suggestions.

Thanks!

From your list, I like: [name]Cooper[/name], [name]Finley[/name] (nn [name]Finn[/name]), [name]Holden[/name], [name]Hudson[/name], [name]Nolan[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Sullivan[/name].

Maybe you’d also like: [name]Eamon[/name], [name]Easton[/name], [name]Spencer[/name], [name]Rowan[/name], [name]Linden[/name], [name]Everett[/name], [name]Emmett[/name], [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Samson[/name], [name]Finnigan[/name] (nn [name]Finn[/name]), [name]Riley[/name], [name]Jameson[/name], [name]Carter[/name]…

off your list i love [name]Gunnar[/name] :slight_smile: it’s a choice of mine as well. you may also like one of my other picks, [name]Cohen[/name]. to me it’s manly & tough, but trendy and unqiue. [name]Gage[/name] is another “G” i love. our last name is [name]Gillespie[/name]…so I like those G first names with other letter middle names.

[name]One[/name] thought for you: if your last name starts with R, then first names that begin with R might run together with it. For example, let’s say your last name is [name]Rayden[/name]. If you name your child [name]Cooper[/name] [name]Rayden[/name], a lot of people will mishear it as [name]Cooper[/name] [name]Ayden[/name] or [name]Coop[/name] Erayden. [name]Just[/name] something to think about- not necessarily ruling against those names!

Of your list, I like [name]Dalton[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Hudson[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name], and [name]Sullivan[/name]. Good luck!

I absolutely love [name]Cohen[/name] as well, but I’ve been told that it’s very insulted to Jewish people. I didn’t know this, and I come from an area where there are no Jews, nor have I ever met one, however, I’m scared that if my child decides to move and live in a less remote area than our, that he may be discriminated against because his name is [name]Cohen[/name].

I had never though of the first name ending in “r” and the last name starting with “R” problem. I guess I’ll have to run that by a few people first. I’m still not going to rule out [name]Cooper[/name], but thank you for the heads up!

I love your list! I have to say, I am a big fan of surnames, as well. :slight_smile:

[name]Booker[/name] - AHHHH! I have never seen anyone else considering [name]Booker[/name], I love your list just because [name]Booker[/name]'s on it! I think it’s just so cool, and since I’m an aspiring writer, I love [name]Booker[/name] even more because of that. I think it’s a great name, I absolutely adore it. I’m trying to decide whether or not it’ll make the cut for the last spot on my short list.
[name]Bowen[/name] - I love this, too! [name]Bowen[/name] [name]Charles[/name] was a combo on my long list a long time ago. I love the nn [name]Beau[/name]/[name]Bo[/name], and [name]Bowen[/name] just seems so handsome.
[name]Burke[/name] - :slight_smile: I like it because it reminds me of White Collar, haha. I have a minor obsession with TV shows, especially the ones on USA. haha. And [name]Peter[/name] [name]Burke[/name] is just too cool.
[name]Calder[/name] - It’s really grown on me! I love the nn option of [name]Cal[/name], and [name]Calder[/name] just sounds so natural and fun. It inevitably reminds me of [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Calder[/name], but I don’t think that’s a bad thing, she seems like she’s a sweet girl.
[name]Cooper[/name] - I am not a fan, sorry. I never really loved the popular trade names that everyone seems to love ([name]Cooper[/name], [name]Parker[/name], [name]Carter[/name], [name]Tanner[/name], [name]Tucker[/name], etc.), but it is a nice name. [name]Just[/name] not for me.
[name]Dalton[/name] - I always thought this would be a cool name, since my great uncle’s last name is [name]Dalton[/name], I thought it might be a cool connection. After seeing it used, though, I have to say I don’t love it anywhere near as much as I thought I would! :frowning:
[name]Decker[/name] - It just reminds me of [name]Black[/name] and [name]Decker[/name]. And [name]Ted[/name] Dekker, the writer. I like [name]Declan[/name] a lot more!
[name]Easton[/name] - It’s grown on me a lot! I like it much more than [name]Weston[/name], which I see is also on your list.
[name]Finley[/name] - I like it a lot. I’ve considered it to honor my brother, since it means “fair-haired warrior”, and my brother is a fairhaired Airman, haha, but I would probably only use it as a MN. I much prefer [name]Finley[/name] on a boy than on a girl. :slight_smile:
[name]Finn[/name] - love [name]Finn[/name], but I much prefer [name]Flynn[/name], [name]Finnegan[/name], or [name]Phineas[/name], personally.
[name]Griffin[/name] - it seems to be very much on the upswing, but I have to say, I’m not really fond of it at all. I just don’t see the appeal. I went to school with a [name]Griffin[/name] in elementary school… he was a nice kid, but I’ve never loved his name.
[name]Gunner[/name] - too violent for me, I’m afraid. I used to sort of like it, though.
[name]Holden[/name] - I love this a lot, too. [name]Holden[/name] used to be on my top 5; I don’t love it quite so much anymore, but I still love seeing it used and considered.
[name]Hudson[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]! I’m a huge fan of the -son names, and [name]Hudson[/name]'s probably my second favorite (only after [name]Grayson[/name]).
[name]Hunter[/name] - a bit too violent for me, I’m afraid.
[name]Lane[/name] - I used to know a family who had a son named [name]Lane[/name] [name]Everett[/name], I think that’s really cool. I can see [name]Lane[/name] more on a girl because of [name]Gilmore[/name] Girls, but [name]Lane[/name] is undeniably cool and classy on a boy.
[name]Noah[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]! It’s a bit too popular for me these days, but I still adore it. I’ve been thinking of [name]Noah[/name] as a MN quite a bit lately.
[name]Nolan[/name] - I used to love it, but I really am not a fan anymore, I’m not sure why…
[name]Porter[/name] - I like it a lot.
[name]Ryder[/name] - A bit too [name]Flynn[/name] [name]Ryder[/name] to me, although I do like it (for some reason, though, I can absolutely get behind [name]Flynn[/name]!).
[name]Sebastian[/name] - like a lot, especially for the Shakespearean connection. I love the nns [name]Seb[/name] and [name]Ash[/name] for it.
[name]Sullivan[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]! I think it’s just fabulous, nearly swoonworthy. I would love to meet a [name]Sullivan[/name].
[name]Walker[/name] - It’s funky and a bit old-soul… I like it a lot, but probably wouldn’t use it. It actually reminds me of Covert Affairs, the show on USA network. Probably because I was watching it just last night and I love that show. lol.
[name]Weston[/name] - I find it intriguing, but I do prefer just [name]West[/name] personally (or something like [name]Wellesley[/name]/[name]Wesley[/name]).

[name]Booker[/name], [name]Sullivan[/name], [name]Easton[/name], [name]Hudson[/name], [name]Holden[/name], [name]Noah[/name], and [name]Calder[/name] are my favorites.

Have you considered [name]Everett[/name], [name]Emerson[/name], [name]Grayson[/name], [name]Jameson[/name]/[name]Jamison[/name], [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Linus[/name], [name]Lucian[/name], [name]Brody[/name], [name]Spencer[/name], [name]Avery[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Boone[/name], [name]Zane[/name], etc.? Those seem like they’d fit in very well with your other favorites.

Good luck!
