Boy names suitable for last name Young

Boy Names

Good morning, Berries!

Yesterday we found out we’re having a boy! And while we had a girl’s name almost locked up, we’re at a loss when it comes to naming this little male. Our last name is [name]Young[/name] and we live in the desert Southwest US. We’re interested in names which are not overly popular but not obscure either. DH’s family is English and Canadian and mine is English, [name]German[/name] and Italian. I’m not thrilled with any family-inspired or “honoring” names we have to choose from ([name]Hubert[/name], [name]Jeanne[/name], [name]Daniel[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Benson[/name]).

For a girl we like [name]Emily[/name], [name]Elliott[/name], [name]Elise[/name], [name]Ella[/name], [name]Maisie[/name], [name]Addison[/name].

For a boy we’ve considered [name]Jack[/name], [name]Carter[/name], [name]Mason[/name], [name]Aden[/name]. (ALL SO POPULAR!)

Looking for some fresh ideas! Thanks for your help.

Well, I would take [name]Elliott[/name] from your girls list and use that for a boy. I love [name]Elliott[/name] and think it completely ruins the name when used on a girl. From your list, I like [name]James[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name].

A lot of your girls names are rather popular too.
Popularity isn’t a death sentence, and if you really love the name then you should go for it.

What about:
[name]Curtis[/name]
[name]Courtland[/name]
[name]Clint[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]

[name]Max[/name]
[name]Jake[/name]
[name]Luke[/name]

[name]Logan[/name]
[name]Davis[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Wilson[/name]

Awesome start! Thought I’d mention some of the names of boys who come from my circle of friends… pretty much off the table:
[name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Barrett[/name]
[name]Adler[/name]
[name]Webb[/name]
Hutson
[name]Huxley[/name]
[name]Tyson[/name]

Also, I’m worried about 1 syllable names fitting with [name]Young[/name]. [name]Jack[/name] is about the only one I can go for as of now.

Definitely love [name]Elliot[/name] for your little guy. Its a much better boy’s name than girl’s name! I also like [name]Daniel[/name] and [name]Carter[/name].

Also think of:
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Maxwell[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]John[/name] or [name]Jonathan[/name] (nn [name]Jack[/name])
[name]Griffin[/name]

Your list:

[name]Jack[/name] - I think this is too short with your last name? to me? [name]Jackson[/name]? [name]Jason[/name]?
[name]Carter[/name] - sounds good with your last name, so if you love it, use it.
[name]Mason[/name] - this works with your last name also, but I guess I prefer [name]Carter[/name]. I like [name]Carson[/name] better than both though.
[name]Aden[/name] - I would not spell [name]Aiden[/name] this way. Unless you mean [name]Ad[/name]-in (which I do not recommend, since have a name that is too close to a popular name is worse than having a popular name in my opinion.). [name]Aiden[/name] though popular, works well with [name]Young[/name]. I wouldn’t let the popularity scare you away.

With a short simple last name, you can go for longer names if you want
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Alister[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Jonathan[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Quentin[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Spencer[/name]

I don’t think the -on works very well with [name]Young[/name], so I would try to avoid that. Here are some more alternatives:

Instead of [name]Carter[/name]: [name]Charles[/name], [name]Truman[/name], [name]Calvin[/name], [name]Wesley[/name], [name]Conrad[/name], [name]Crane[/name], [name]Crosby[/name], [name]Dexter[/name], [name]Thatcher[/name], [name]Hector[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Callum[/name]
Instead of [name]Mason[/name]: [name]Matthias[/name], [name]Matteo[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Malcolm[/name], [name]Asa[/name], [name]Dane[/name], [name]Roland[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Samuel[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Dominic[/name], [name]David[/name]
Instead of [name]Aden[/name]: [name]Archer[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Abner[/name], [name]Angus[/name], [name]Abram[/name], [name]Eliott[/name], [name]Elias[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Eli[/name], [name]Levi[/name], [name]Edmond[/name], [name]Edwin[/name], [name]Leyland[/name], [name]Lachlan[/name]
