Boy # 2 - Can't agree on a name!

Boy Names

Hello! We are due in [name_f]September[/name_f], and I seem to be the only one with name suggestions while dh veto’s everything! Our first lo’s name is [name_u]Corbin[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] F. I am all about different, but not too out there. Suggestions would be great!!

Dh doesn’t like:
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_u]Devin[/name_u]
[name_m]Gavin[/name_m]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] (because it reminds him of the beer)
[name_m]Collin[/name_m]
[name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_m]Ryder[/name_m] (which was torn up by another baby site I belong to…)

And I have nixed:
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] (I like the name…only we have a cat named [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]!)
[name_m]Gerard[/name_m]

He is on the fence for [name_m]Cohen[/name_m], and we are both on the fence for [name_m]Tyrion[/name_m] (GoT fans…)
We both agreed that we didn’t want any names that begin with ‘F’ due to our last name.

Thanks so much!!!

[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] is a wonderful name!

All your names are nice. Keep in mind that using [name_m]Cohen[/name_m] as a given name is considered an offensive by the Jewish community. As for [name_m]Tyrion[/name_m] —*have you read the GRR [name_m]Martin[/name_m] novels? While he comes across as a sympathetic character in the TV adaptation, he does a lot of questionable things in the later novels. I think it’s a cool name and I like the character but he’s hardly someone I would want to name a son after!

some ideas:
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Conan[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Conall[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Caius[/name_m] / [name_m]Gaius[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Wolf[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u] / [name_m]Everard[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_u]Kieran[/name_u]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Calum[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Coleman[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Gustav[/name_m] “[name_u]Gus[/name_u]”
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Damian[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and Renner
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_u]Brennan[/name_u]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] and [name_m]Axel[/name_m]
(Since [name_u]Corbin[/name_u] means “raven”, many of these names like [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Calum[/name_m], [name_m]Conall[/name_m] give you a nice subtle animal theme)

Hmmm…
Have you thought of using names similar to those above?
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] ~ [name_m]Brandon[/name_m], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]
[name_u]Devin[/name_u] ~ [name_u]Drew[/name_u], [name_m]Austin[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_m]Gavin[/name_m] ~ [name_u]Hunter[/name_u], [name_m]Landon[/name_m], [name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] ~ [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Kale[/name_m], [name_m]Joshua[/name_m]
[name_m]Killian[/name_m] ~ [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Collin[/name_m] ~ [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], [name_u]Cameron[/name_u], [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_u]Carter[/name_u] ~ [name_m]Cooper[/name_m], [name_m]Jackson[/name_m], [name_m]Tanner[/name_m]
[name_m]Ryder[/name_m] ~ [name_u]Blake[/name_u], [name_m]Lennox[/name_m], [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] ~ [name_m]Ford[/name_m], [name_m]Weston[/name_m], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Gerard[/name_m] ~ [name_m]Declan[/name_m], [name_u]Niall[/name_u], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]

In regards to [name_m]Cohen[/name_m] I dislike the rise of this name in popularity [name_m]Cohen[/name_m]/[name_m]Kohen[/name_m] is the Hebrew word for priest along with being a common Jewish surname. [name_m]Cohen[/name_m] is a sacred title in Judaism. A title you need to be born into. The closest comparison would be naming your child messiah, although it’s still not an exact comparison. It’s a form of cultural appropriation when the name is used by non-Jews. I just find it odd maybe because of my mother being Jewish it just feels strange because I’m exposed to this culture either way I wouldn’t use this name.

As for [name_m]Tyrion[/name_m] that isn’t my style I find the name visually unappealing. Sorry for the negativity.

Names similar to [name_m]Cohen[/name_m]:
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]

Names similar to [name_m]Tyrion[/name_m]:
[name_m]Anders[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Chance[/name_m]

Hopefully this helped : )

[name_m]Martin[/name_m] could work.
