I am having the absolute hardest time settling on a boy name and would love help! I have scoured nameberry for weeks and have probably come across every single name that I can think of, but willing to hear any suggestions. Our daughters name is Greer Chloe and we have a last name that will pretty much go with anything.
My husbands top pick for a boy is Jones or Harvey and I love Cal and Pierce. He isn’t sold on either and I don’t love his picks myself. Any suggestions would be welcome! I don’t like names that are too common- I had loved Wyatt and Hudson but those became too popular for me to use.
By any chance have you and your husband done the baby dna test. That could possibly help brainstorm new ideas that you’d be willing to compromise on.
I think a good Compromise from your picks and his picks would be [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] [name_m]Pierce[/name_m]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] [name_m]Jones[/name_m] also work.
Also I think maybe a compromise could be found with [name_u]Cal[/name_u]. Is there any way that could be a nn for something longer you both agree on. [name_u]Callum[/name_u], [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], [name_u]Callahan[/name_u], Calbert……
As I continue to look at your top picks and his top picks it seems you both have a thing for surname names.
Ohhh thanks guys!! I do like [name_u]Callum[/name_u], but I’m not a fan of nicknames so whatever the name is, is what I really prefer them to be called. I’ll share all with him now at dinner let’s see what happens
I have a wicked bias for Cal! We had it picked out for years before we ended up using it for our first born. However, I will say it has become more popular recently. We know at least two other Cals in our town in his age range. Idk if that affects your opinion of it.
Some other suggestions:
Sawyer
Beckett
Lincoln
Rhett
Reid
Flint
Ike
Heath
Miller
Stanley
Vance
Alec
Crosby
So fun, thanks all! Have some work to do in narrowing these. I’m warming to [name_m]Jones[/name_m] (a little) but still not convinced. We both like [name_u]Brooks[/name_u], but I think I have a few old friends (Facebook now vs in life) I’ve seen have a son that name so wonder if it’s getting really popular. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes [name_u]Kit[/name_u], but it’s hard for me to imagine man vs. little boy being called that, not sure yet.
I think people have given you great suggestions. I came to comment on your daughters name! I’m having my fourth and we have decided on [name_u]Greer[/name_u] for a boy or girl (gender surprise, due in 7 weeks) though I think it is a girl. How has feedback been on her name? I love it❤️ Also [name_u]Callahan[/name_u] with the nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u] has always been on our list too, we just never used it, I do love [name_u]Cal[/name_u]!
I love [name_u]Greer[/name_u] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]. [name_u]Greer[/name_u] is on my son and daughter in laws list but they have had trouble with a middle name choice. I might suggest [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] for a boy. [name_u]Greer[/name_u] and [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] are attached counties in our state of Oklahoma.
How sweet! Feedback has been great- sometimes people will hear it, say it out loud and then go oh I love that! It can be a pit polarizing- some people might not register at first that they like it and it can take a bit to warm up- but we’ve never met another [name_u]Greer[/name_u] in person. Some do mention that they have heard it on a boy or thought it was for boys.
We went to [name_u]Hawaii[/name_u] years ago and our kayak instructor was a girl named [name_u]Greer[/name_u] and ever since it stuck with us. She was super cool and adventurous and I think the name is really strong and fun.
Thank you! We went with [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] because we needed a C name in memory of my dad. I actually really like the name [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] too, but my husband hasn’t shared the enthusiasm. That’s funny those are so geographically close as counties.
I’ve never met anyone with the name either, I love that it’s familiar but honestly so rare. Also I’ll suggest [name_m]Briggs[/name_m] for your baby boy. [name_m]Briggs[/name_m] and [name_u]Greer[/name_u] sound so cute together.
but still not convinced. We both like [name_u]Brooks[/name_u], but I think I have a few old friends (Facebook now vs in life) I’ve seen have a son that name so wonder if it’s getting really popular. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes [name_u]Kit[/name_u], but it’s hard for me to imagine man vs. little boy being called that, not sure yet.
