Help! I hate boy names!

Boy Names
1

My husband and I are having some difficulty finding boy names that we love. We’ve already committed to a girl name and that didn’t take much time at all because, in my opinion, girl names rule; boy names drool.

We don’t want anything too popular, but we also don’t want anything off the wall. My husband is relatively traditional/conservative when it comes to names and is adamant that the baby not have an ambiguous name.

[name]Gray[/name] (a name in my husband’s family) will be the middle name regardless of the baby’s sex.

The only boy names we are really even considering are:
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]James[/name] (family name)

To help with an idea of our “style” the girl name we fell in love with is [name]Isla[/name] [name]Gray[/name]. Other names we really liked were:
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]

Any ideas???

I actually like all three of your boy name choices. [name]Silas[/name] [name]Gray[/name] sounds really handsome. I would like [name]James[/name] next, and then [name]Bennett[/name]. What about something like [name]Evan[/name] or [name]Everett[/name] or [name]Elias[/name]?

I’m the opposite from you (girls names drool, boys names rule…) so let’s see if we can help you!

I think you have really good taste in boy’s names actually. [name]Silas[/name] is SO handsome, with a fresh sound and a literary heritage. [name]Silas[/name] [name]Gray[/name] is awesome. [name]James[/name] is a great name too (nn [name]Jem[/name] is cool and a nod to To Kill a Mockingbird) but a little common.

I like [name]Bennett[/name] too, but I think I prefer [name]Emmett[/name].

Some names that kind of seem to fit with your names:
[name]Sylvan[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Jones[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Eamon[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Quentin[/name]
[name]Theo[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] or [name]Milo[/name] (The more I look at [name]Milo[/name], the more I love it)
[name]Sterling[/name]

I love [name]James[/name].

I am really not into boys names either! Since nothing really excites me I just go classic. I think of what qualities are good on a man & pick a name that I think represents that. I’ll probably have a [name]John[/name] or a [name]James[/name]!

6

[name]Silas[/name] [name]Grey[/name] is perfect. It’s a family name for me, but I don’t like alliteration so we didn’t put it on the list.

7

I love [name]Silas[/name]. [name]Silas[/name] [name]Gray[/name] has quite a calm, almost mysterious feel. It’s very handsome as well.

I’m the complete opposite of you. I love boys’ names and have the hardest time with girls’ names. Good luck!

We’re having the same problem, we had a girl’s name picked out right away, [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] - but we’re having a boy! I had a few on my list I liked but DH nixed, like [name]Callum[/name]. I like [name]Silas[/name] from your list, we were considering [name]Silas[/name] as well but not sure how it goes with our daughter’s name [name]Grace[/name]. Our top contender right now is [name]Donovan[/name]. Good luck!

[name]Silas[/name] [name]Gray[/name] sounds great to me! My next pick would be [name]Bennett[/name] and then [name]James[/name] last.

I love [name]Isla[/name]!! So pretty! And [name]James[/name] is one of my absolute favorite boy names, but it is a popular one. I’d go [name]Bennett[/name], it’s still a great name and much less common.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I love [name]Silas[/name] [name]Gray[/name]!
