Help me choose a boy name!

Hi Everyone! I’m hoping you can help me choose the perfect name for a little boy. Last name is Hayden and it’s very important that people aren’t confused thinking Hayden is the first name (as I know most times it is.) Please choose your favorite combos from my list! Your favorite in general and your least favorite. I like timeless names but definitely not something too dated sounding and not extremely common. Thank you :slight_smile:

I love [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_u]Callum[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] and [name_u]Max[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]! :sparkles:

[name_f]My[/name_f] least favourites are [name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_u]Van[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] and [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]!

Good luck! :relaxed:

If you want to avoid people thinking [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] is a first name, I’d probably strike [name_m]Cullen[/name_m] off the list since it can be a surname too :slight_smile:

[name_u]Max[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] are my two favourites

[name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] and [name_u]Max[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] are my favourites!

[name_f]My[/name_f] least favourites are [name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] and [name_m]Cullen[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m], just not my cup of tea (but perfectly lovely names). I do agree with the above comment about [name_m]Cullen[/name_m] being a surname too, so perhaps that’s something to consider.

Wow I never even thought or [name_m]Cullen[/name_m] being a last name! Noted. Thanks!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are [name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] and [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u].

I’m not a huge fan of [name_m]Cullen[/name_m], [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m], [name_m]Jake[/name_m] and [name_u]Jack[/name_u]. Let’s say my least fave combo is [name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u].

Good luck!

So many nice choices and being you’d like suggestions to narrow it down, for flow and sound with last name I prefer a one syllable first and a fn not ending with ‘n’. Being [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] has long ‘a’ sound a first with a different sound sounds nice (eg. [name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] rhymes a little). Favourites are…

[name_u]Max[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]
[name_u]Jack[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]

[name_f]My[/name_f] least favorites:

[name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] (repeating sounds)
[name_u]Jack[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] (repeating sounds)
[name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_m]Mac[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] (too nicknamey imo!)
[name_m]Cullen[/name_m] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] (surname first)
[name_m]Cullen[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] (surname first)

[name_f]My[/name_f] overall pick would be: [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] based on flow and feel. All the names (first, middle, & last) are distinct in sound to me. [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] has that cool vintage feel, and I don’t see it brought up a bunch! The nicknames Jo/Joe, [name_u]Joey[/name_u], [name_u]Mal[/name_u], and [name_m]Mac[/name_m] are also available to use there.

Your names are stunning. I really like ;

[name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] ( this one is my favourites! I can totally see a sports announcer say [name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]. It seems like the perfect boy next door name)

[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] ( [name_u]James[/name_u] is handsome sturdy and has never really left a top 10. [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] has great flow and I don’t think you would run into the fn/ln confusion)

[name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_m]Allan[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] ( [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] is one of my longest time loves, that I can’t use ! So I love seeing it. It’s an established first name so I don’t think you will run into the first name last name confusion)

[name_u]Callum[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] ( I don’t love the flow but [name_u]Callum[/name_u] is such an underrated handsome name)

[name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] ( I am swooning over [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] lately! )

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are

[name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]

[name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_m]Malcom[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]

I think for you keeping in mind your concerns about [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] being mistaken as yours sons first name I would go with [name_u]Leo[/name_u] or [name_u]Jonah[/name_u]. Both [name_u]Miles[/name_u] & [name_u]Jude[/name_u] can be seen as surnames whereas [name_u]Leo[/name_u] & [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] feel very distinctive as first names and I do not think you would have that confusion. [name_f]My[/name_f] absolute favourite from [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] & [name_u]Leo[/name_u] would be [name_u]Leo[/name_u]. [name_u]Leo[/name_u] is such a handsome name really vibrant and for me I love the lion association I would have a lion themed nursery and everything :lion:

You have a lot of great options! I like [name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_u]Jack[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_u]Callum[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], and [name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_u]Van[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_m]Mac[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u].

I think my favorite is [name_u]Jack[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]! You could use JJ as a nickname if you wanted. [name_u]Jack[/name_u], as far as I know, isn’t a last name so it would be clear that [name_u]Jack[/name_u] is the first name therefore [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] is the last name.

Least favorite I’m going with [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]. [name_u]Theo[/name_u] feels more like a nickname to me than a full name. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] also is getting super popular right now so it’s a little too trendy for my taste.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts-

Jake-I think that [name_m]Jake[/name_m] has a cool vibe, but I really do find it too nick-namey on its own. It feels like it needs to be a nn for [name_m]Jacob[/name_m]. Which I find super handsome personally. [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] is pretty good. I don’t love the flow of [name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] that much, because of the repeating long ‘a’ sounds. Probably not a big deal.

Jack-This feels more like it works as a full name than [name_m]Jake[/name_m]. It’s charming & fun & timeless & sounds great w/your ln. It’s pretty popular; especially if you add in all of the Jacksons. [name_u]Jack[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] sounds really nice.

Calvin-This is really cute & quirky & old fashioned but feels fresh. I love the nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u] mostly. I don’t love how CalviN HaydeN sounds, but it’s not awful.

James-This is a another nice timeless classic. [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] isn’t as good as [name_u]Jack[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], but it’s not a problem. It’s pretty common, but for a good reason.

Benjamin-This has the same ‘n’ issue as [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], but it’s a great name. Fairly common, but for a good reason. I think that [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] flows better than [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] [name_m]Alan[/name_m].

Callum-I love [name_u]Callum[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u]. Very handsome & sounds much better w/your ln than [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]. A bit softer & also a kind of sporty than [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Calum[/name_m] more, but [name_u]Callum[/name_u] is more popular.

Leo-This is cute & quirky & simple & vintage. I wouldn’t say that it’s trendy since it’s an old fashioned name, but it is getting popular really fast. So, I don’t know. Fun name though, & [name_u]Leo[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] sounds awesome.

Miles-This one is kind of like [name_u]Leo[/name_u]. It’s old fashioned, but I’m suddenly hearing it everywhere. I’m not a huge fan for some reason, but it’s a nice name & [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] sounds good.

Owen-Very sweet & kind & slightly outdoorsy name. I like it a lot. It’s a bit popular, but not too bad. [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] is very handsome, even though [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] doesn’t flow perfectly.

Lachlan-Same ‘n’ issue, but I’m starting to think that that doesn’t bother you. It gives me a similar vibe as [name_u]Owen[/name_u], but less popular.

Caleb-I don’t love this w/your ln, but it’s fine. It’s a name that I should like, but it doesn’t excite me that much.

Theo-Same feelings here as [name_u]Leo[/name_u]. Although I prefer it as a nn for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

Jude-Ooh, I love [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] is gorgeous.

Cullen-I really like this in theory, but it’s a little hard to say. I think that people will just mistake it for [name_m]Colin[/name_m] a lot.

Max-I love [name_u]Max[/name_u]. It’s really punchy yet classic. Kind of popular, but for a good reason. [name_u]Max[/name_u] [name_u]Hayden[/name_u] sounds perfect.

Jonah-I like this. It’s sweet & kind & sounds strong at the same time. [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] sounds nicer in my opinion.

To answer your question, my favorite in general is probably [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. But [name_u]Max[/name_u] is my favorite that also sounds good w/your ln. [name_f]My[/name_f] least favorite is [name_u]Miles[/name_u], but I don’t dislike it that much.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

they would fit perfectly as a sibset :heart_eyes: both timeless names and not extremely common! plus both combos flow great

and im personally not a fan of [name_u]Callum[/name_u], [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]Cullen[/name_m] & [name_u]Owen[/name_u]

[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] & [name_u]Jonah[/name_u] are also very handsome! but im
not sure about how they fit with their middles
