Completely Lost... Anyone Up For A Challenge?

Boy Names
1

We are starting to TTC this month. We have one son, [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u], nn [name_u]Jem[/name_u].

The first go round we were lost with boys names as well. For a girl we had been set on [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. And if it’s a girl this time, it will still be [name_f]Cora[/name_f]! But I have a gut feeling we will end up with another boy. And if that is the case, we are in trouble.

I love Classic names with a trendy edge. Maybe slightly hipster, but more on the safe side? Let’s say… Bohemian classics. If that isn’t a contradiction… Lol. I also like connections to literature.

[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Tennyson[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m]

My husband is a surfer and loves more ‘out there’ names. But at the same time, some ofI his names aren’t out there at all. Honestly I don’t think he has a ‘style’. But he likes…

[name_m]Merrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]
[name_m]Ike[/name_m]

We both sort of like/agree on [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], but we aren’t in love with it.

I swear I have been through every single name with him. [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] was a name I loved more than him, and it just grew on him over time. I cried over the fact that he wouldn’t let me use [name_u]Noah[/name_u], and so I think that’s when he caved to [name_u]Jameson[/name_u]! Basically- we are a tough case!

Please help!!

Could do [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] nn ike

3

[name_m]Beckett[/name_m] is the first name that came to me. Has the literature ([name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]) connection for you and the c/k/ck that his names have. Or maybe [name_m]Beckett[/name_m]'s middle name [name_m]Barclay[/name_m])

Thank you guys! I don’t mind [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] but DH would only use it if his nickname was [name_m]Ike[/name_m], and I just can’t do [name_m]Ike[/name_m]! Not a huge fan of [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] either.

Keep em coming!

I like your style. I like [name_u]Finn[/name_u] with [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] but I feel like a longer form like [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m]/[name_m]Finnian[/name_m]/[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Finn[/name_u] would work even better. I love [name_u]Flynn[/name_u].

Some more ideas:

[name_m]Westley[/name_m]/[name_m]Weston[/name_m]
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u]
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]
[name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]
[name_m]Brooks[/name_m]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Foster[/name_m]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_m]Hayes[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_u]Noel[/name_u]
[name_m]Ivan[/name_m]

[name_m]Jack[/name_m]

What about…

[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]?

You have some really nice names on your list. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m], [name_m]Merrick[/name_m], and [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], in that order! [name_u]Noah[/name_u] is so popular that he may be [name_u]Noah[/name_u] __ (initial) in school, but if you aren’t bothered by that, it is a nice name. Other suggestions…

[name_m]Booker[/name_m]
[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Turner[/name_m]

[name_m]Gulliver[/name_m], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Pierce[/name_m], [name_m]Holden[/name_m], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m], [name_m]Heathcliff[/name_m], [name_m]Rochester[/name_m], [name_m]Ichabod[/name_m], [name_m]Vance[/name_m], [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m], [name_m]Garrick[/name_m], [name_m]Broderick[/name_m]/[name_m]Roderick[/name_m], [name_m]Prescott[/name_m], [name_m]Rexford[/name_m], Thackery

[name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is very handsome! My issue with [name_m]Declan[/name_m] (we almost used it for or first) is that when I told the name to family, everyone said it sounded like something else. Declaw, deck him, etc. So I’m just not too sure.

I love Howthorne. I think [name_u]Jem[/name_u] and [name_m]Hawk[/name_m] would be awesome together. But DH won’t cave to it- I’ve been trying for a long time! I also like [name_m]Griffin[/name_m], but anothe big no from DH.

11

Also, he definitely does seem to like the hard c/k/ck names! So maybe something with that in there?

12

Well since [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] was more your name I think you should go with [name_m]Declan[/name_m]. That is fair (considering that [name_m]Declan[/name_m] is a nice enough name). On your list I guess liam is the best but I prefer [name_m]Declan[/name_m] to it. but I can’t stand your husbands other choices, sorry! Actually they remind me of my own husbands boy name ideas which I also dislike :(…

13

What about…
Riker
[name_u]Dakota[/name_u] nn Kota
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_m]Pike[/name_m]
[name_m]Huxley[/name_m]
[name_m]Kent[/name_m]

14

[name_m]Hawk[/name_m] would be such a cool nickname but alas. [name_m]Whittaker[/name_m]? I like [name_u]Jem[/name_u] & [name_u]Whit[/name_u] together. [name_m]Nickelby[/name_m], [name_m]Chadwick[/name_m], [name_m]Cedric[/name_m], [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], [name_m]Buckley[/name_m], Buckmimster, [name_m]Dirk[/name_m], [name_m]Kirk[/name_m],

15

Some names with the c/k ck sound:

[name_u]Oakley[/name_u]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_u]Micha[/name_u]
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_m]Lucan[/name_m]

16

My first thought was [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], nn [name_m]Ike[/name_m] as one of the previous posters mentioned. Maybe you could compromise and use [name_m]Ike[/name_m] as an around the house nickname?

17

I like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_u]Oakley[/name_u], but DH doesn’t like either.

I really really REALLY just can’t do [name_m]Ike[/name_m]. :frowning: it was my friends cats name. I just can’t!

18

Looking at my signature, I forgot to mention [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] and [name_u]Rory[/name_u]! I love love love [name_u]Rory[/name_u] but DH only likes it on a girl, and my mom can’t pronounce the two r sounds in succession for some reason. And DH recently vetoed [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]!

19

What about [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] and:

[name_m]Bram[/name_m]
[name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
[name_m]Osias[/name_m]/[name_m]Ozias[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Eben[/name_m]
[name_u]Hartley[/name_u]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]/[name_m]Miles[/name_m]/[name_m]Myles[/name_m]
[name_m]Hadrian[/name_m]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] ([name_m]Zeke[/name_m])
[name_m]Brodie[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
[name_m]Macsen[/name_m]/[name_m]Maxen[/name_m]
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m]/[name_m]Greyson[/name_m]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Zebediah[/name_m]/[name_m]Zevadiah[/name_m] (nn or just [name_m]Zeb[/name_m]/[name_m]Zev[/name_m])
[name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m]/[name_m]Ivan[/name_m]
[name_m]Calix[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]
[name_m]Caspar[/name_m]/[name_m]Kasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m]
[name_m]Alec[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]

Sorry for any repeats!

[name_m]Wilder[/name_m] sounds great with both [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] and [name_u]Jem[/name_u]! Does your husband like it? In my opinion, it sounds a bit hip and surfer-y in addition to being “bohemian classic”

more suggestions

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m]?)
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u]
[name_u]Micah[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_m]Dax[/name_m]
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_u]Asa[/name_u]
