Baby name advice?!

Hey!! My husband and I just found out we are having a boy. We love the name Citizen [name_u]Michael[/name_u] (Citi for short). However, we can’t find anything about that name whatsoever. We are going for a unique name, but my husband fears it’s too “out there.” Thoughts please??!!! Thank you! :slight_smile:

Yeah it’s way out there [name_f]IMO[/name_f]… I think Citizen [name_m]Kane[/name_m] and also just like, well yeah he’s a citizen, but what’s his name? Sorry if that sounds harsh, I just don’t think this is one of those words that works as a name.

Some names that sound/feel similar to me:
[name_u]Sincere[/name_u]
[name_m]Sampson[/name_m]
[name_m]Stetson[/name_m]
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m]
[name_m]Ransom[/name_m]
[name_m]Gunnar[/name_m]
[name_m]Gage[/name_m]
Cage
[name_m]Bolton[/name_m] (nn Bolt)
[name_m]Colton[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Colt[/name_m])
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_u]Walker[/name_u]
[name_m]Booker[/name_m]
[name_m]Ramsay[/name_m]
[name_m]Tripp[/name_m]

Maybe something there will strike your fancy? hth

Well, you can’t find information on the name because it is a title or a word, rather than a name. Many words work as names, but this one misses the mark for me… strictly because of meaning.

It would be like naming your child Girl, Boy, Person or National. A citizen is a status. We are citizens of where we live. This makes it confusing as a name.

I usually go for unique names, and even like plenty of noun and word names. However, Citizen is a bit too “out there” for me. Citi is not bad though. [name_f]Citlali[/name_f] is a Native American name for “star” which might work with the nickname Citi.

Yep. It’s way too out there. Others you might like:

[name_m]Creed[/name_m]
[name_m]Gage[/name_m]
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]
[name_m]Apollo[/name_m]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Merrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Tanner[/name_m]

It’s too out there for my tastes as well. I would suggest using it as a middle name, where anything really flies.

[name_m]Apollo[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
Corgan [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Dresden[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_u]Dustin[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Gage[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Oswald[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] “[name_m]Ozzy[/name_m]”
[name_m]Ramsey[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_m]Sylvester[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]

Too out there for my liking too, sorry!
