DH is still idealess but at least we have some ground rules! Help me make a list!

Boy Names
1

Well as I posted last week my husband does nothing but REJECT all my suggestions for name BUT he can never come up with any names himself!

Im going to get him to look through some babyname book soon but in the meantime at least we have come up with “rules” to find names we both like…

  1. nothing that starts with a J or G
  2. Nothing in the top 50 and preferable out of top 100
  3. Nothing that is made up!
  4. Has a nice meaning (ie. NOT [name]Kennedy[/name]…ugly head etc.)
  5. We seem to like Irish, Scottish, English and Latin (not LATINO…LATIN)
  6. I like more interesting/unusual names
  7. He prefers more traditional but not popular
  8. Goes well with DS J0sef P@tr1ck J@mes

The middle names ( there will be 2) [name]Will[/name] be some mix of the following…
[name]Lewis[/name], [name]Anthony[/name]/[name]Anton[/name], [name]John[/name], [name]Alasdair[/name], [name]Alexei[/name], [name]Covy[/name] (family reasons)

Our family is a crazy mix of Russian, Irish, and Mexican with a bit of Scottish and [name]German[/name] thrown in! … We live in [name]Canada[/name]…HELP PLEASE!!!

These don’t all have GREAT meanings, but they are harmless meanings:

[name]Amadeus[/name] (Latin, “loved of God”)
[name]Amias[/name] (Latin, “loved”)
[name]Augustus[/name] (#769, Latin, “great, magnificent”)
[name]Nikolai[/name] ([name]NIK[/name]-o-lye)(#641, Russian variant of [name]Nicholas[/name], “people of victory”)
[name]Chandler[/name] (#441, French, “candle maker”)
[name]Dominic[/name] (#76, Latin, “belonging to the [name]Lord[/name]”)
[name]Felix[/name] (#311, Latin, “happy, fortunate”)
[name]Lane[/name] (#270, English, “a small roadway or path”)
[name]Oscar[/name] (#162, English, “champion warrior”)
[name]Nathaniel[/name] (#84, Hebrew, “gift of God”)

[name]Nikolai[/name] is one that we have considered with the nn. [name]Nico[/name]… but we dont seem to love it… [name]Dominic[/name] we cant use for a couple reasons although we do like it…
I [name]LOVE[/name] augustus/augustin/augustine etc. but DH says no :frowning: [name]Felix[/name] is nice! Maybe I will approach DH about it… I dont think it will be a go as he rejected [name]Felicity[/name] for a girl…

Anyone else???

@otillie… WOW so many options!!!

hmmmm… I like

[name]Benedict[/name]/[name]Bennett[/name] but DH has rejected this already!
[name]Caius[/name] (probably from gaudere “to rejoice” or [name]Gaia[/name] “earth”) I will ask… maybe it has a chance!
[name]Conor[/name] (wolf lover)- He is back and forth on this one… we have a friend with the name but not a close friend and he is 7 so…
[name]Adair[/name] (blessed/rich spear)- we [name]LOVE[/name] this but would use it for a girl… my maiden name has the same meaning!
[name]Finn/name- I adore dh hates!!!
[name]Lucius[/name]/[name]Lucian[/name]/[name]Lucien[/name] (light)- Maybe!
[name]Nevan[/name] (little saint)- This one is starting to appeal to me… plus i love the meaning!
[name]Oisin[/name]/[name]Osheen[/name] (little deer)- I like this but maybe too close to [name]OCean[/name] for me…
[name]Samson[/name] (sun)- [name]Love[/name] … ill ask DH
[name]Vincent[/name] (to conquer)- Maybe???

I second [name]Samson[/name]. I [name]LOVE[/name] the name and it goes really well with your other son because they are both biblical.
