Beau, Boone, Beckett?

If you had to name a son [name]Beau[/name] or [name]Boone[/name] which would you choose? What other B names do you suggest, as husband tells me he likes alliteration but can’t seem to come up with any names on his own. [name]Beckett[/name] is a maybe but I worry about the trendiness factor.

[name]Sister[/name] is [name]Eden[/name]/[name]Edie[/name] and last name is Be@tty, sounds like “B-D”. I am so lost. Other names on our short list right now are [name]Jonah[/name], [name]River[/name], [name]Knox[/name] and [name]Miles[/name]. I thought we were set with [name]Jonah[/name] and then today he tells me he isn’t sure he wants to commit to it so I am still on the hunt for the perfect name, I really want it to feel right for both of us but I am beginning to wonder if that will ever happen.

Thanks in advance!

All of the above!!! :slight_smile: I like beckett but it does have a trendiness to it, partially the appeal of it though!
[name]Beau[/name] is one f my personal favs! Also a very cute friend of my brothers was named [name]Boone[/name] so I have good connotations there :slight_smile:

Some other suggestions? Uh maybe [name]Bennett[/name], Bowan/Bowyn, [name]Braxton[/name]? Idk

I like [name]Beau[/name] best. [name]Boone[/name] and [name]Beckett[/name] aren’t my style, though if I had to choose, I prefer [name]Beckett[/name] to [name]Boone[/name].

Thanks. I forgot to mention [name]Arlo[/name] is also on our list but am trying to have some B names lined up. I am leaning toward [name]Beau[/name] too I think.

p.s. I love the name [name]Isaac[/name] (DH didn’t like it but I just noticed it on your list - great choice!)

I think a B name would sound great. [name]Beau[/name] sounds the best
[name]Baird[/name], [name]Barrett[/name], or [name]Baron[/name] would give the nn [name]Bear[/name]. [name]Bear[/name] Be@tty is a nice name
[name]Brent[/name]
[name]Boyd[/name]
[name]Brooks[/name]
[name]Blair[/name]

  • I just noticed, your daughter goes by [name]Edie[/name] Be@tty “E.D. B.D.”?

[name]Love[/name] all three! I think [name]Eden[/name] and [name]Beau[/name], [name]Eden[/name] and [name]Boone[/name], and [name]Eden[/name] and [name]Beckett[/name] are all fabulous. [name]Boone[/name] is on my own list, so that’s my personal preference, but all three have been considerations for me at one point or another. I love the suggestions of [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Bowen[/name], [name]Brooks[/name], and [name]Boyd[/name]. Other “B” names:

[name]Broderick[/name] ([name]Brody[/name]'s my favorite “B” name for boys, but I don’t think [name]Brody[/name] Be@tty sounds very good. I think the full [name]Broderick[/name] Be@tty sounds great, and you could still use the nn [name]Brody[/name], or you could use any variety of other nns–[name]Beau[/name], [name]Derick[/name], [name]Eric[/name], [name]Roddy[/name], etc.)
[name]Barnaby[/name] (or [name]Barnabas[/name])
[name]Bryn[/name]
[name]Bryce[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Benedict[/name] ([name]Eden[/name] and [name]Benedict[/name] would be fabulous together!)
[name]Blaise[/name]
[name]Blake[/name]
[name]Bailey[/name] (I know most don’t like it for boys, but I love it! I think [name]Eden[/name] and [name]Bailey[/name] would be adorable)
[name]Booker[/name]
[name]Brighton[/name]

Good luck!

I love B names. Although I think [name]Beckett[/name] is great, it’s SO trendy right now. So many little boys named [name]Beckett[/name] are popping up all over the place. That steers me away from the name, unfortunately. I like [name]Boone[/name]. [name]Beau[/name] is great and a classic. [name]Bowen[/name] is one of my favorite B names. Some other B names you may like (my favorites are starred):
