Handsome, southern, rough and tough boy names! Help me please!

Boy Names
1

This is our first child and so far it has been terrible choosing a name for a boy. I love southern, nature and literary names. My husband not so much. He is a plain name kind of guy, so I am trying to bend a little for him. So far the ones I loved and he has vetoed are:

[name]Forrest[/name]
[name]Huck[/name]
[name]Tucker[/name]
[name]Beckett[/name]
Tritt
[name]Wilder[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name]

He has considered [name]Max[/name] and liked [name]Maverick[/name], we seem to be drawn to M names.
My co-worker’s sister in law just named her baby [name]Oaks[/name] and I absolutely loved that too but of course I am not going to use that one! [name]Just[/name] looking for similar names or alternatives to some of these.

[name]Micah[/name] is the first name that came to mind.

[name]Micah[/name]
[name]Hank[/name]
[name]Shane[/name]
[name]Angus[/name]
[name]Ford[/name]
[name]Morgan[/name]
[name]Jones[/name]
[name]Jesse[/name]
[name]Austin[/name] - Or, since you love literary references you could use [name]Austen[/name].

EDIT: I just realized YOUR name is probably Morgan - HAHA, cross that one off. :slight_smile:

Is your maiden name usable?

From your shortlist, I think [name]Sawyer[/name] fits the image you want perfectly.

[name]Levi[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name]
[name]Boone[/name]
[name]Wiley[/name]
[name]Jesse[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] ([name]Hank[/name])
[name]Frank[/name]
[name]Judd[/name]
[name]Jackson[/name]
[name]Joshua[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]

I can’t think of many more right now. Maiden names and Biblical names always work though.

[name]Crosby[/name], [name]Guthrie[/name] and [name]Clyde[/name] (my son is named [name]Clyde[/name]) all come to mind as “Southern” not sure if those are slightly too “out there” for your hubs.
I like the biblical suggestions- [name]Micah[/name], [name]Gideon[/name].
[name]Archer[/name] nn [name]Archie[/name]?
