Boy name help to go with big sisters Delaney and Ryley

Name Advice
1

I am pregnant with my third (and final) baby. It is way too soon for me to know the gender but I’m really hoping to join team blue. We have girls names under control, but I really need help with boys…sigh.

Here’s the criteria:
1.) Doesn’t start with D, R or L.
2.) Nothing overly biblical
3.) Nothing too gender neutral…with unisex girl names…I want people to know which one is a boy.
4.) Trying to avoid having -er in it because I’d like mn to be [name]Robert[/name] and I do not like the alliteration. (this is where I’m having the biggest problem…I love [name]Spencer[/name] and [name]Parker[/name].
5.) Can’t be on our no list (obviously).
6.) Not really into overly old fashioned names…nothing wrong with them…just not for me

the no list is pretty long…but here are ones that are no because they are already in play…

[name]James[/name], [name]Matthew[/name], [name]Christopher[/name], [name]Michael[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Brady[/name], [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Xavier[/name], [name]Connor[/name], [name]Cameron[/name], [name]Cole[/name], [name]Andrew[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Joshua[/name], [name]Derek[/name], [name]Max[/name]

Here’s a few I just don’t like: [name]Logan[/name], [name]Owen[/name], [name]Seth[/name]
He doesn’t like: Anything that rhymes with [name]Aidan[/name]
He likes: [name]Gabriel[/name] and [name]Caleb[/name] (I don’t like either)
I like: [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Evan[/name] and [name]Micah[/name] (he gave me the “REALLY” look on this one)

I’m just so lost…I don’t even have a start to a boy list so please help me with suggestions.

Big sisters are [name]Delaney[/name] [name]Brooke[/name] and [name]Ryley[/name] [name]Kate[/name].

UPDATE:
Here is the present list based on your suggestions: LIKE a lot: Callum, Keegan, Kieran, Elliot, Griffin, Weston, and Hudson

MAYBE: Collin, Jacob, Carson, and Benjamin.

New suggestions based on these likes would be appreciated!

[name]Nathaniel[/name]/[name]Nathan[/name]

Thanks Katie8765! There are my thoughts on your first list…

[name]Nathaniel[/name]/[name]Nathan[/name]–[name]Nathan[/name] has been growing on me…but I’m still on the fence because as a general rule I’m not crazy about names that have the -th sound in the middle. [name]Nathaniel[/name] is a bit too fussy for me, I prefer [name]Nathan[/name].
[name]Evander[/name] (you could use [name]Evan[/name] as a nickname but that is a -er, but I think it works well with [name]Robert[/name])–[name]Evander[/name] is okay just nms
[name]Callum[/name]–I actually really like [name]Callum[/name]…and kind of love nn [name]Cal[/name]…IDK if I SO would be on board or not. I’ll have to bring it up.
[name]Zachary[/name]–I actuallly love [name]Zachary[/name] but I have a cousin with this name…It’s not on the no list in my OP but I have A LOT of relatives.
[name]Tyler[/name]/[name]Tyson[/name]–[name]Tyler[/name] is also another cousins name…but I wouldn’t use it anyway because we call [name]Ryley[/name] [name]Ry[/name] a lot and I wouldn’t want [name]Ty[/name] and [name]Ry[/name].
[name]Gavin[/name]–I don’t usually like G names…but [name]Gavin[/name] has been growning on me.
[name]Skyler[/name]–I find [name]Skyler[/name] to be pretty feminine…probably because I have a coworker with a daughter named [name]Skyler[/name].
[name]Jack[/name]/[name]Jackson[/name]–I just don’t like the name [name]Jack[/name]. I know it’s uber popular and classic…but I just can’t get on board.
[name]Simon[/name]/[name]Silas[/name]–[name]Silas[/name] is nms…[name]Simon[/name] I like in theory…I’m pretty sure SO wouldn’t like it though
[name]Colton[/name]–I like [name]Colton[/name] but I’m pretty sure SO axed this before.
[name]Bryce[/name]/[name]Bryson[/name]–another cousin
[name]Garrett[/name]/[name]Gareth[/name]–not a fan.
[name]Everett[/name]/[name]Emmett[/name]–I’m not crazy about [name]Everett[/name]…[name]Emmett[/name] I think is nice…but I know I’d feel compelled to shorten the name and [name]Em[/name] is not a nn I’d want for a son…I have a cousin [name]Emily[/name] that we call [name]Em[/name] a lot.
[name]Kobe[/name]/[name]Colby[/name] (ends in “y”, matches your daughters names that way)–[name]Kobe[/name] is too [name]Kobe[/name] [name]Bryant[/name] for me and I’m sorry but [name]Colby[/name] is my favorite kind of cheese.
[name]Kyle[/name]/[name]Kyler[/name]–I actually really love [name]Kyle[/name]…but I have the same problem with [name]Ky[/name] and [name]Ry[/name].
[name]Vaughn[/name]–nms
[name]Aaron[/name]–My so has an ex named this (female…lol…spelled the same way). I do NOT like that girl so this is out.
[name]Elijah[/name]/[name]Elias[/name]/[name]Elliott[/name] (nn [name]Eli[/name])–I love all these…[name]Elijah[/name] is out though…I have been loving all over [name]Elliot[/name] though.
[name]Isaac[/name]–I find the name charming but I have a cowrker named this and that’d be weird. lol
[name]Chase[/name]–I like the name but I know SO doesn’t
[name]Keegan[/name]–I actually [name]LOVE[/name] this…IDK how SO feels about it…I’ll have to add it to the list of names to run by him.
[name]Wilder[/name]–no. First: I have a coworker with and SO named this (actually the mother of [name]Skyler[/name] is the GF of [name]Wilder[/name]). I do not like him very much. Second: [name]Even[/name] if I didn’t have the bad association with him…I do not get the appeal of this name.
[name]Zane[/name]–I like [name]Zane[/name]. Another one to add to the run by SO list.

So…we have…[name]Nathan[/name] (maybe), [name]Callum[/name], [name]Keegan[/name], [name]Elliot[/name], and [name]Gavin[/name] (maybe). sigh SO is actually a lot pickier than I am.

Thanks Ariel_Michal

[name]Griffin[/name]–I actually [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Griffin[/name]. [name]One[/name] of the few G names I do like. IDK if SO will feel the same way. I’ll add it to the list.
[name]Ethan[/name]–out. Already in play. I do like it a lot though…actually the [name]Ethan[/name] I know is an [name]Ethan[/name] [name]Robert[/name] so they’d have the exact same name (well…not last name)
[name]Adam[/name]–I like the sound of the name…but bad association has this one out.
[name]Jonathan[/name]–I like just [name]John[/name] but SO doesn’t
[name]Sebastian[/name]–another name that is out. Which is a shame because I actually really like it.
[name]Colton[/name]–I like, SO doesn’t
[name]Chase[/name]–I like, SO doesn’t
[name]William[/name]–Oh how I love the name [name]William[/name]. But I have an uncle [name]Bill[/name] (by marriage) and I’m not trying to let people assume he’s named after him. =-(
[name]Zachary[/name]–out…cousin’s name

Adding…[name]Griffin[/name] to the “run by SO list”…

Keep any suggestions coming ladies…I know I’ve eliminated a lot of good names.

You have tons of great suggestions so far. When I was reading your post, the name [name]Milo[/name] popped into my head. It seems to fit your criteria, and i have not seen anyone else mention it.

[name]Milo[/name] [name]Robert[/name].

Some more traditional names (because you like [name]Nathan[/name], [name]Evan[/name], [name]Elliott[/name], and [name]Micah[/name])
[name]David[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Marcus[/name]
[name]Jacob[/name]
[name]Stephen[/name]
[name]Jason[/name]
[name]Bryan[/name]
[name]Eric[/name]
[name]Collin[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]

Some modern boy names with an Irish slant (because you like [name]Callum[/name] and [name]Keegan[/name]):
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Kellan[/name]
[name]Brendan[/name]
[name]Finn[/name] or [name]Finley[/name]
[name]Craig[/name]
[name]Sean[/name]
[name]Eamon[/name] or [name]Eamonn[/name] (pronounced Ay-mun)
[name]Duncan[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name] (I think [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Robert[/name] sounds fantastic if you don’t mind the alliteration)
[name]Cormac[/name]

Strong, masculine and quirky (because you like [name]Gavin[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], and [name]Zane[/name]):
[name]Garrett[/name]
[name]Gareth[/name]
[name]Graham[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Gable[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Roman[/name]
[name]Gage[/name]
[name]Abel[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] or [name]Milo[/name]

Trendier surnames and/or unisex names (because you like [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Spencer[/name], and [name]Parker[/name], as well as [name]Delaney[/name] and [name]Ryley[/name], your girls):
[name]Weston[/name]
[name]Sutton[/name]
[name]Corban[/name]
[name]Jordan[/name]
[name]Carson[/name]
[name]Bryson[/name]
[name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Dalton[/name]

[name]Holden[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Kendall[/name]

I think [name]Abel[/name] is in line with your husband’s picks of [name]Gabriel[/name] and [name]Caleb[/name] due to the sounds and the more obscure Biblical origin. For you, I like [name]Quinn[/name]. It’s slightly unisex, has a surname-like sound, a little Irish influence, in the same family as [name]Griffin[/name] (even with some phonetic similarities) and sounds rockin awesome with your daughters’ names.

Good luck with your choice!

[name]Mason[/name]–I actually quite like [name]Mason[/name] but it’s the name of a cousin and a former stepbrother.

[name]Brody[/name]–I have a nephew named [name]Brady[/name] that we see regularly…this is too similar

[name]Camden[/name]–I prefer [name]Cameron[/name] but it is the name of a friends [name]Angel[/name] baby so it’s out
[name]Collin[/name]–I quite like [name]Collin[/name]…it was a contender for nephew [name]Brady[/name]. I’d have to run it by [name]SIL[/name] and SO
[name]Tristan[/name]–not a fan
[name]Asher[/name]/[name]Ashton[/name]–I like these but I don’t think they are what I’m looking for

[name]Kellan[/name]–nms
[name]Holden[/name]–nms

adding: [name]Jacob[/name], [name]Kieran[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name]…and [name]Carson[/name] (maybe)

[name]Collin[/name]–on the fence
[name]Edward[/name]–out

Some modern boy names with an Irish slant (because you like [name]Callum[/name] and [name]Keegan[/name]):
[name]Declan[/name]–I actually really like [name]Declan[/name] but I’m trying not to reuse D or R since I already used those.
[name]Patrick[/name]–potential nn [name]Pat[/name] is enough to keep me from using it.
[name]Kellan[/name] --nms

[name]Cormac[/name]–nms

Strong, masculine and quirky (because you like [name]Gavin[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], and [name]Zane[/name]):
[name]Garrett[/name]-- nms
[name]Gareth[/name]–nms
[name]Graham[/name]–nms
[name]Owen[/name]–out

[name]Gable[/name]–not a fan

[name]Gage[/name]–out
[name]Abel[/name]–nms
[name]Miles[/name] or [name]Milo[/name]–nms.

Trendier surnames and/or unisex names (because you like [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Spencer[/name], and [name]Parker[/name], as well as [name]Delaney[/name] and [name]Ryley[/name], your girls):
[name]Weston[/name]–I’ve been thinking about this one a lot lately. Adding to the list.

[name]Corban[/name]–nms
[name]Jordan[/name]–one of those unisex names I can’t decide if I like on a boy or girl.

[name]Sullivan[/name]–BFF’s cat is [name]Sullivan[/name] nn [name]Sully[/name]
[name]Kendall[/name]–I like [name]Kendall[/name] for a girl.

I think [name]Abel[/name] is in line with your husband’s picks of [name]Gabriel[/name] and [name]Caleb[/name] due to the sounds and the more obscure Biblical origin. (I’m trying not to have something overly biblical)

For you, I like [name]Quinn[/name]. It’s slightly unisex, has a surname-like sound, a little Irish influence, in the same family as [name]Griffin[/name] (even with some phonetic similarities) and sounds rockin awesome with your daughters’ names.

Good luck with your choice!

I think since both [name]Delaney[/name] and [name]Ryley[/name] are Irish, it would make sense to give your third child an Irish name, too.

Some Irish first names:
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Niall[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Sean[/name]

Some Irish surnames that could be given names:
[name]Brennan[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Callahan[/name]
[name]Rafferty[/name]

15

I think [name]Samuel[/name] [name]Robert[/name] is very handsome. If the ending of [name]Samuel[/name] bothers you that much you could try [name]Samson[/name] instead. My little brother is a [name]Samuel[/name] and really no one calls him by his full name, he is always [name]Sam[/name]. Incidentally, another name you mentioned liking, [name]Benjamin[/name], is the name of my other brother. His nn was [name]Benjy[/name] when he was little and I always loved it. When he was about 8 though he decreed that [name]Benjy[/name] was too “little kid” and everyone had to call him [name]Ben[/name].

Of the names I already suggested, [name]Griffin[/name] is definitely my favorite! I used to babysit a little boy named [name]Griffin[/name] and he was such an awesome kid. I hope your SO likes it!

16

So… [name]Callum[/name], [name]Keegan[/name], [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Jacob[/name], [name]Kieran[/name], [name]Samuel[/name], [name]Carson[/name], [name]Weston[/name], [name]Hudson[/name], [name]Collin[/name] and [name]Benjamin[/name]
