Desperate to find a unique name! Due any day!

xotoff · August 27, 2016, 3:48am

Hey everyone!

I am due any day with our second child and first baby boy! We are having lots of trouble find a name that we can both agree on and be happy about. We struggled naming our daughter and even ended up changing her name when she was a few weeks old, so it’s safe to say that we need help! Her name, M@delein@ (mad-uh-lay-nuh) Coryne, is unique but not super “out there” and we are looking for something to match that. We both like country/manly/rugged names but are open to anything really.

[name_u]Baby[/name_u]'s middle name will for sure be [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and our last name is three syllables and starts with an S. Names we have considered but thrown out for one reason or another include: [name_m]Brooks[/name_m], [name_m]Truett[/name_m], Ruger, [name_m]Maverick[/name_m], Cashton, Coleston, Kailand, and [name_m]Cohen[/name_m]. We’ve also thought about [name_f]Cypress[/name_f], but aren’t fully sold on it. Any suggestions? If it’s popular, it’s automatically out for me so please no top/common names.

Also, my husband loves [name_m]Colt[/name_m], but I would want him to have a longer name and then use [name_m]Colt[/name_m] as a nickname. I don’t like [name_m]Colton[/name_m] or [name_m]Colter[/name_m]. Any other ideas?

If you like [name_f]Cypress[/name_f] how about the boy’s name [name_m]Cyprian[/name_m]? I’m not very good with unique names, sorry!

A name that allows you to use [name_m]Colt[/name_m] as a NN and that seems to go with Madeleina (similar [name_m]French[/name_m] feel) is Coltier.

[name_m]Coltrane[/name_m], maybe?

jlstrk · September 8, 2016, 10:47am

[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] is close to Cyrpress and sounds very nice to me! Maybe [name_m]Cooper[/name_m] or [name_m]Ryder[/name_m] could be other considerations? You might also like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m].

mtl15 · November 27, 2016, 9:22pm

What did you end up picking?

diane921 · November 27, 2016, 9:58pm

You have a lot of great names to consider. Another one I thought of that hasn’t been mentioned is [name_m]Bronson[/name_m]. Good luck with your decision.

Kjh446 · November 28, 2016, 12:25am

I also thought of [name_m]Coltrane[/name_m] with nn [name_m]Colt[/name_m].

If you like [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] you might like [name_m]Brock[/name_m]? I also really like [name_m]Locke[/name_m] or the longer [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m].

Some more suggestions
