[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries! We are due with our 3rd child in 6 weeks (gender unknown) and already have a [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]. They are in fact named after songs…[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]-[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] on my mind-hubby used to sing it to her whilst in my tummy, [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]-the Might [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] by [name_m]Bob[/name_m] [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]. So we want to incorporate this theme again as the kids love their songs and my name is [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] from the Beatles. We have chosen [name_f]Layla[/name_f] for a girl (my fave song by [name_m]Eric[/name_m] Clapton) but struggling for a boy. So far all I’ve got is [name_m]Louie[/name_m], [name_m]Louie[/name_m] by the Kingsmen which I love the song and name is OK, or [name_m]Rollin[/name_m] on the [name_u]River[/name_u] by Creedence Clearwater Revival which isn’t really a name song but I do like [name_u]River[/name_u] for a boy. I also love [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]'s girl which I like [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] for a boy but unsure it flows with our surname. I also love [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] but no good songs with that in it. Any other ideas.Thanks in adv dance for your input
I’ve always loved the sentiment of naming a kid after a song! I’ve considered doing this myself with [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] (for the song [name_u]Love[/name_u] Grows Where my [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] Goes).
Some ideas…
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]…Hey [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Benny[/name_m]…[name_m]Benny[/name_m] and the Jets
[name_m]Clark[/name_m]…Last train Clarksville (not a name song but perhaps you’ll like?)
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]…My Name is [name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]…[name_f]Baba[/name_f] O’[name_u]Riley[/name_u] (again not a name song but maybe?)
[name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]…[name_f]Joy[/name_f] to the World ([name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] was a Bullfrog)
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]…[name_u]Bobbie[/name_u] [name_u]Gentry[/name_u]
[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t want to handbrake suggestions but there’s this to consult: Songfacts - Songs with boys' names in the title
If you like the name [name_u]Jude[/name_u], that would make this really easy Plus, I think it’s a great name! I also thought of [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m], like the pp, since you like CCR.
I’m also thinking [name_u]Carey[/name_u] by [name_f]Joni[/name_f] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m], in the same era as many of the songs you mention.
I also thought of other [name_m]Bob[/name_m] [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] songs (love the name [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] and the reference, by the way!), and the [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Harding[/name_m] album is full of names: including [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] [name_u]Lee[/name_u], and [name_m]Judas[/name_m] [name_m]Priest[/name_m] in addition to the names in the title.
I also like the idea of [name_u]River[/name_u]!
I love [name_u]Jude[/name_u] for Hey, [name_u]Jude[/name_u]!
Maybe you would like…
[name_u]Billy[/name_u] – [name_u]Billy[/name_u] [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t Be a [name_u]Hero[/name_u] (Paper [name_f]Lace[/name_f])
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] – [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_f]Diane[/name_f] ([name_m]John[/name_m] Mellencamp)
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] – [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] ([name_m]Elton[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m])
I love the song “[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] on My Mind” AND the name [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] & [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] are so cute together; I can see your dilemma finding another name you like that has a good song to go with it, especially for a boy!
A couple that I thought might work w/ his siblings names - sorry for any repeats:
[name_u]Sam[/name_u] ([name_u]Sam[/name_u]'s Song by [name_m]Bing[/name_m] [name_m]Crosby[/name_m] & [name_u]Dean[/name_u] [name_m]Martin[/name_m])
[name_m]Duke[/name_m] (Sir [name_m]Duke[/name_m] by [name_u]Stevie[/name_u] Wonder)
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] ([name_m]Alexander[/name_m]'s Ragtime Band by [name_m]Irving[/name_m] [name_m]Berlin[/name_m], Andrews Sisters cover)
[name_m]Riordan[/name_m] nn [name_u]Danny[/name_u] ([name_u]Danny[/name_u] Boy - love that song)
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] (Hot [name_m]Rod[/name_m] [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] - [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] [name_m]Bond[/name_m] or Commander [name_u]Cody[/name_u] - not very sentimental but a boy might love it!)
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] ([name_u]Dream[/name_u] [name_m]Angus[/name_m] - [name_f]Annie[/name_f] [name_u]Lennox[/name_u])
[name_u]August[/name_u] ([name_u]August[/name_u] - Rilo [name_u]Kiley[/name_u])
Thank you berries! You’re all amazing! And Eloiset I did look at that webpage already but wondered if there were any songs which weren’t on there? Out of the box perhaps? I absolutely love [name_u]Jude[/name_u] but he would have a cousin [name_u]June[/name_u]…too close? I also love the [name_u]August[/name_u] suggestion but again [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]June[/name_u] cousins? WDYT? They’d be pretty close too as we’re neighbours and go to the same school…does [name_u]River[/name_u] sound strange with [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] & [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]? It’s not a name you hear a lot in Australia…my husband suggested [name_m]Leroy[/name_m] as in Bad [name_m]Leroy[/name_m] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]?! Not sure I can get on board with that one. I don’t like super common names so [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_u]Sam[/name_u], [name_m]Ben[/name_m] are out! Proving quite tricky!
Also saint dollsface love the [name_m]Clark[/name_m] suggestion! [name_m]Will[/name_m] ask hubby about that one!
[name_m]Levon[/name_m] by [name_m]Elton[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m]
The Last Time I Saw [name_m]Richard[/name_m] by [name_f]Joni[/name_f] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]
[name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] by Phish
[name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] is a great suggestion and goes well!
I also like [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], from the Weezer song ‘My name is [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]’
