We are due with our first child, a baby boy, in just 5 weeks, and he still doesn’t have a name! I thought by now we would have chosen one, but we can’t seem to find a name we just love! I literally lose sleep every night because I am so stressed about finding a name for our son!
Middle name with either be [name]John[/name] or [name]Tucker[/name] (family names). Here are some names we are considering, but we don’t really love any of them or feel like they are “the one”:
[name]Tanner[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] (nn [name]Griff[/name] or [name]Fin[/name])
[name]Crosby[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] or [name]Crosby[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Coleman[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] or [name]Coleman[/name] [name]John[/name] (nn [name]Cole[/name])
[name]Jason[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] (nn [name]Jay[/name] or JT)
[name]Tyson[/name] [name]John[/name] (nn Tyce)
[name]Cooper[/name] [name]John[/name]
We like names that aren’t super popular, but not too “out there” or made up, either. Our original choice (before we were even TTC) was [name]Jackson[/name], but that has become way too popular, so unfortunately we no longer want to use it.
We have a very short last name (only 3 letters and 1 syllable, starting with D), so longer first names sound better. I prefer names with more than one syllable that can be shortened to a 1 syllable nickname.
I love both [name]John[/name] and [name]Tucker[/name] they are great mn’s! I think [name]Coleman[/name] goest best with [name]Tucker[/name], they sound great together. I like [name]Tyson[/name] [name]John[/name] best out of your choices. [name]Don[/name]'t lose sleep over your baby’s name. You will know it when you see him!
[name]Coleman[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] is my favorite from your list. Sounds like you are drawn to first names that are also surnames.
[name]How[/name] about:
[name]Hudson[/name] [name]John[/name] or [name]Hudson[/name] [name]Tucker[/name]
[name]Parker[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Peyton[/name] [name]John[/name] or [name]Peyton[/name] [name]Tucker[/name]
[name]Maddox[/name] [name]John[/name] or [name]Maddox[/name] [name]Tucker[/name]
[name]Weston[/name] [name]John[/name] or [name]Weston[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] (nn [name]Wes[/name])
[name]Bryson[/name] [name]John[/name] or [name]Bryson[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] (maybe nn [name]Bryce[/name]?)
[name]Dawson[/name] [name]John[/name] or [name]Dawson[/name] [name]Tucker[/name]
I like [name]Coleman[/name] [name]Tucker[/name], but if your last name is short you may not want/need to use the nickname [name]Cole[/name]. I would go with [name]Cooper[/name] or [name]Griffin[/name]!!
I love the first name [name]Tanner[/name] but I do feel that [name]Tanner[/name] [name]John[/name] is a bit mismatched in style.
[name]Griffin[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] reminds me of family guy because of [name]Peter[/name] [name]Griffin[/name] & [name]Tom[/name] [name]Tucker[/name]… so that’s all I think of! Although I think [name]Griffin[/name] is a great name…how about [name]Griffin[/name] [name]John[/name]?
I don’t like [name]Crosby[/name] at all or [name]Coleman[/name] too surnamey.
[name]Jason[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] is nice.
[name]Tyson[/name] [name]John[/name] has nice flow.
I love [name]Cooper[/name]…probably my favorite of your names. [name]Cooper[/name] [name]John[/name] sounds nice.
Thank you for all your great input/suggestions! A lot of names suggested were actually on our original list but have since been crossed off for one reason or another (a lot due to friends naming their children those same names recently).
Me too, I loved both [name]Griffin[/name] [name]Tucker[/name] (my favorite option, loved both nn options as well!) and [name]Crosby[/name] [name]Tucker[/name].
so that’s all I think of! Although I think [name]Griffin[/name] is a great name…how about [name]Griffin[/name] [name]John[/name]?
