We need help!! My husband and I are at complete odds with baby boy names. [name]Baby[/name] will be arriving soon and we need suggestions. I’m open to almost anything. Our last name starts with a B - so no B names. And ends with an S - making names like [name]Marcus[/name] and [name]Lucas[/name] sound funny. I’d like to stay away from VERY popular names - but it’s very hard.
I like [name]Evan[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Noel[/name]… Also lik [name]Caelan[/name] and [name]Phelan[/name]. And [name]Afton[/name] (too feminine though).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
My first thought was actually [name]Evan[/name]. [name]Asher[/name] is a good option if you want something less popular. It goes really well with [name]Liam[/name] and [name]Owen[/name], but I fully expect it to enter the top 100 in 2013 and continue to rise. [name]Noel[/name] feels like the safest bet from your list. What about…
[name]Keegan[/name]
[name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Eamon[/name]
[name]Kieran[/name]
[name]Riordan[/name]
[name]Lorcan[/name] (if you don’t mind repeating initials)
[name]Reid[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Wyatt[/name]
[name]Graham[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Rory[/name]
[name]Niall[/name]
[name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Cormac[/name]
[name]Alec[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name]
[name]Brady[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name]
[name]Kellan[/name]
I really like [name]Evan[/name] and [name]Griffin[/name] from your list 
Suggestions:
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Gavin[/name]
[name]Kellan[/name]
[name]Stellan[/name]
[name]Tanner[/name]
[name]Declan[/name]
[name]Kieran[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Roman[/name]
[name]Kyler[/name]
[name]Riley[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Jonathan[/name]
[name]Finley[/name]
[name]Ivan[/name]
[name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]Phillip[/name]
[name]Drew[/name]
My first thought is [name]Rhys[/name]! I think it is perfect with [name]Liam[/name] and [name]Owen[/name]. I like [name]Evan[/name] but think it is too rhymey with [name]Owen[/name]. I also like [name]Griffin[/name]. So, I would suggest:
[name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Mason[/name]
Not sure if you’re trying to stick with Irish/Welsh names, but I think [name]Owen[/name], [name]Liam[/name] and [name]Sebastian[/name] would make great brothers. They all strike the same balance to me between masculinity and softness.
[name]Liam[/name], [name]Owen[/name], and [name]Quinn[/name]
Thanks for the suggestions. My husband is making the naming process so difficult. I like [name]Emmett[/name]… Does it sound southern? Country?
My son had 3 Sebastians in his preschool - I love the name. It was on our list for the twins but has grown out of control on our area.
[name]Jude[/name]- friends sons name
[name]Declan[/name] - worry about popularity
[name]Griffin[/name] - love
[name]Quinn[/name]- love. Husband says no
[name]Evan[/name] - still a favorite
[name]How[/name] popular is [name]Jude[/name]? [name]Julian[/name]?
[name]Love[/name] rafferty and [name]Madigan[/name] but husband would never agree.
[name]How[/name] about-
Evader
[name]Everett[/name]
[name]Arlo[/name]
[name]Flynn[/name]
[name]Peter[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Adler[/name]
[name]Alton[/name]
[name]Mark[/name]
[name]Colin[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Teague[/name]
What about [name]Ethan[/name]? Similar to [name]Evan[/name], but not as close to [name]Owen[/name]
Or how about [name]Judah[/name]? Is that too close to your friends son [name]Jude[/name] for you?
[name]Wyatt[/name]? Too country?
[name]Asher[/name]?
[name]Dylan[/name]/[name]Dillon[/name]? too dated?
[name]Silas[/name]? too different?
[name]Noah[/name]? too popular?
[name]Micah[/name]?
[name]Liam[/name], [name]Owen[/name] and [name]Emmett[/name] are lovely together!
I too really love [name]Evan[/name], but agree it’s a bit close to [name]Owen[/name] for my liking. I also love [name]Noel[/name], but don’t think it fits stylistically. [name]Asher[/name] and [name]Griffin[/name] both sound great with [name]Liam[/name] and [name]Owen[/name]. I personally love four letter names, so I wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to make that a “theme”, but that’s obviously not everyone’s cup of tea.
Some other suggestions with [name]Liam[/name] and [name]Owen[/name] (I starred the ones I [name]LOVE[/name]):
[name]Adam[/name]
[name]Austin[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
*[name]Cole[/name]
*[name]Connor[/name]
*[name]Jack[/name] – Of course popularity is an issue with this one, but I think it fits nearly perfectly
[name]Max[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Sean[/name]
*[name]Simon[/name]
If I were naming a little brother to [name]Liam[/name] and [name]Owen[/name], I’d go for [name]Conor[/name], [name]Jack[/name] or [name]Simon[/name]
Good luck!
[name]Owen[/name] and [name]Liam[/name] were on my short list when we were naming our boys. I actually really like how [name]Evan[/name] fits with them. [name]Emmett[/name] is nice as well though. Good luck!
