Desperate for some help

Boy Names
1

I am now pushing 27 weeks with a boy (our first!). We already have two girls named [name]Sabrina[/name] and [name]Miranda[/name]. [name]Both[/name] names came to me from movies that were constantly replaying during my pregnancy that at first I wasn’t crazy about but soon grew to love. I loved how feminine they were, not too popular but not unheard of either and our families are all about nicknames. [name]Sabrina[/name] is Sab, [name]Brina[/name] or [name]Bree[/name] and [name]Miranda[/name] is [name]Mira[/name], [name]Mimi[/name], [name]Randa[/name], or [name]Randy[/name].

Boy names have always been tough for us (which is part of the reason we always find out the sex). Names I liked when I was pregnant with [name]Sabrina[/name] (who just turned 5) are no longer appealing.

Names I like right now are

[name]Emmett[/name]- my front runner (because it keeps coming to me in various ways and at first I didn’t like it)
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Jason[/name]

Our last name sounds like Rolls so a lot of names I do like sound terrible with our last name.

The names hubby likes are [name]Damian[/name] and [name]Bodhi[/name]. [name]Damian[/name] is ok but I don’t love it enough to not care about the stigma it carries nevermind the fact that is sounds a bit feminine to me for some reason. [name]Bodhi[/name], I flat out hate.

The only names we are both ok with is [name]Erik[/name] and [name]Alek[/name]. But I am not in love with [name]Alek[/name] and [name]Erik[/name] is my cousin’s name. I really want him to have his “own” name within our family and friend circle which leaves out a lot

[name]David[/name]
[name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Mark[/name]
[name]John[/name]/[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Aaron[/name]
[name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Ian[/name]
[name]Evan[/name]
[name]Logan[/name]
[name]Justin[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Jacob[/name]
[name]Nathan[/name]
[name]Colin[/name]
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Sean[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Kevin[/name]
[name]Dominic[/name]

Any suggestions? I would like something that invokes a gentle strength, something that works for all stage of life, not too popular but not unheard of either. Nickname is not mandatory because I am sure someone will come up with something for the little guy whether we like it or not.

I love [name]Sebastian[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] with your daughters names [name]Sabrina[/name] and [name]Miranda[/name].

I also like [name]Alec[/name] a lot but it might be too short with your short last name and your girls longer names. A couple more suggestions:

[name]Everett[/name] (this is also at the top of my list and since you liked [name]Emmett[/name] I thought you might like it)
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Lachlan[/name]
[name]Christian[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Mitchell[/name]
[name]Roderick[/name]
[name]Bradley[/name]
[name]Barrett[/name]
[name]Wade[/name]
[name]Wesley[/name]
[name]Dalton[/name]
[name]Warren[/name]
[name]Carson[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Wallace[/name]
[name]Winston[/name]
[name]Lawrence[/name]/[name]Laurence[/name]
[name]Clark[/name]
[name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Russell[/name]
[name]Spencer[/name]
[name]Garrett[/name]

[name]Emmett[/name]-I think of an old man, sorry
[name]Oliver[/name]-my fave! I think this goes great with [name]Sabrina[/name] and [name]Miranda[/name] ([name]Rina[/name], [name]Mira[/name] and [name]Ollie[/name]–love it!!)
[name]Sebastian[/name]-I’ve always liked this name.
[name]Simon[/name]-2nd favorite from your list. So classic. I don’t think this name will ever go out of style.
[name]Jason[/name]-Always think of the horror movie

Good luck!

[name]Sabrina[/name] and [name]Miranda[/name] are lovely names, and I’m sure you’ll find one just as lovely for your little boy. :slight_smile:

[name]Emmett[/name]- I do like [name]Emmett[/name] a lot, but am wondering if it should be used as a middle name. With two sisters, I’d hate to hear [name]Emmett[/name] called “[name]Em[/name],” and people mistake him for a girl.

[name]Oliver[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]!

[name]Sebastian[/name]: I love [name]Sebastian[/name], too, but think it’s too close to [name]Sabrina[/name], especially if you call her Sab. Perhaps use it as a middle name?

[name]Simon[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Simon[/name], but wonder about using another S name.

[name]Jason[/name]: Definitely too trendy/dated…

[name]Damian[/name]: Reminds me of the Omen, and an evil child.
[name]Bodhi[/name]: You flat-out hate it, so it’s a no-no! It’s not my style, either!

[name]Erik[/name]: I’m not a fan of [name]Eric[/name], but prefer it [name]Eric[/name].
[name]Alek[/name]: I prefer [name]Alexander[/name], with [name]Alec[/name] (spelled this way) as a nickname.

[name]David[/name]: [name]Love[/name] [name]David[/name]…

[name]Matthew[/name]: A lovely name…

[name]Mark[/name]: Not a fan…

[name]John[/name]/[name]Jack[/name]: [name]Lovely[/name]…

[name]Aaron[/name]: Not a fan, especially for a boy with two sisters.

[name]Nicholas[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name]!

[name]Ian[/name]: Not a fan…

[name]Evan[/name]: Not a fan…

[name]Logan[/name]: Too trendy, especially with [name]Miranda[/name] and [name]Sabrina[/name].

[name]Justin[/name]: Doesn’t compare to so many of your other names…

[name]Joseph[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]!

[name]Jacob[/name]: A great name, but very popular.

[name]Nathan[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]

[name]Colin[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]!

[name]Adam[/name]: I prefer other names on your list…

[name]Sean[/name]: See above…

[name]James[/name]: Great!

[name]Kevin[/name]: Nah…

[name]Dominic[/name]: Awesome!

Of your choices, I’m voting for [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Dominic[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Colin[/name], or Jospeh for [name]Miranda[/name] and [name]Sabrina[/name]'s brother.

I like [name]Emmett[/name] and [name]Simon[/name] with your daughters names and they sound nice with your last name. I think [name]Sebastian[/name] sounds nice too.
