My first DS name is [name]Carson[/name]. I am due in about 9 weeks, and I cannot seem to settle on a name for boy #2. I literally have looked at every name on the planet, but I find something wrong with every name or DH doesn’t like it or it’s taken…UGH! Family names that we want incorported somewhere are [name]Jordan[/name], [name]Britt[/name], [name]Jackson[/name], or [name]Owen[/name]. So here are the names we have seriously considered: (We have semi-seriously considered every name on the planet it feels like)
[name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Mason[/name]
[name]Jackson[/name] (This one and the 2 prior end in -son. So…they are very rhymey with first DS, which I’m sure will lead to mix ups alot)
[name]Levi[/name] (my DH loves…me not so much)
[name]Parker[/name] ([name]Parker[/name] and [name]Carson[/name] makes me worry that I’ll be saying Carker and [name]Parson[/name] LOL They just dont flow together)
[name]Jordan[/name] (my grandmother’s maiden name, but I don’t like the unisex aspect)
[name]Brady[/name]/[name]Brody[/name] (don’t have a family middle name to go with this one)
[name]Owen[/name] (my DH and I both see it as an old man’s name)
[name]Miller[/name] (Beer anyone?)
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Landon[/name]
[name]Weston[/name] (not crazy about [name]Wes[/name] NN)
My DH doesn’t like the following:
[name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Connor[/name]
[name]Kyle[/name]
Names already taken by family:
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Zachary[/name]
[name]Hunter[/name]
[name]Blake[/name]
[name]Jared[/name]
[name]Adam[/name]
Sorry for being long winded. I just wanted to include all the names we have considered. If you have any advice I would dearly appreciate it. Also, the last name is [name]Smith[/name], so anything ending in S or including a TH in the name sounds bad.
Firstly, I would get rid of any name ending with -son so that means [name]Hudson[/name], [name]Mason[/name] and [name]Jackson[/name] are out as first names. From your remaining names, I like [name]Noah[/name] but it’s pretty popular. Did you know that [name]Owen[/name] is actually a form of [name]Eugene[/name] so maybe that’s why you and your DH think it’s an old man name. :). Here are some suggestions.
I feel like were in the same situation. Any name I love he hates and vice versa. I feel like well never have name for a little guy. It looks like we have the same taste in names. Many of your names are on my list as well. Including [name]Carson[/name]. Heres more from my list
[name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Abram[/name]
[name]Callan[/name]
[name]Hayden[/name]
Graiden
Craigen
[name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Lyle[/name]
I love [name]Miller[/name] as a first name however, i would avoid it since your last name is [name]Smith[/name]. [name]Miller[/name] [name]Smith[/name] is a little overboard. Also weston is on our name list as well bit i too dont like nn [name]Wes[/name] so we said his nn would be [name]West[/name]
[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering what name you ended up choosing? My DS is [name_u]Carson[/name_u], and I have considered all the names you have listed. Our current top names are:
To me, and I think Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] is the reasoning, although I know it’s the characters surname he’s refferred to as, [name_u]Carson[/name_u] seems like a traditional name, so personally I would veer away from anything too current/trendy, and as a pp states avoid any -son endings too.
