We found out last week that baby is a boy! We are both so excited. This is our first, & my husband is ecstatic. I can’t imagine it any other way. Can’t wait to meet this little man at the end of [name]July[/name].
We are talking names & I think I just need a break from it or something, but I figured I would start here at least & get some advice. We both are pretty picky. We decided we would like to use my husband’s middle name, [name]Micah[/name] as the middle name for our son. The name we both really like is [name]Brooks[/name]. I love it, but I can’t help but have just a couple issues with it. My husband & I both have pretty unique names…his more so than mine, but both grew up being the only ones in our class & then some. So, with that, we want to pick something that isn’t on the top 10 or 20 list, something a little more “unique” I guess. Although, I do like the name [name]Noah[/name] but it’s too popular I think.
Here are just a few we’ve both thrown out & could possibly be in the top 3. [name]Micah[/name] is the ideal middle name, but not an absolute must if first name doesn’t fit.
[name]Brooks[/name] (of course)
[name]Sullivan[/name] (call him [name]Van[/name])
[name]Easton[/name]
[name]Davis[/name]
[name]Deacon[/name]
[name]Jensen[/name] (call him Jence?)
[name]Grey[/name]
Some others I have thrown around:
[name]Owen[/name] (DH does not like)
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Crew[/name]
[name]Dax[/name]
[name]West[/name]
I don’t really have a theme necessarily & I am not trying to come off trendy at all {I’ve gotten called that by another berry, no hard feelings, but that’s not my thing}, I am picky & these are names that I like & don’t have a negative feeling towards. Ha! Help would be awesome & obviously any other suggestions!
I really like [name]Jensen[/name] [name]Micah[/name]. I would just call him [name]Jensen[/name]; a nickname isn’t needed. My two runners-up are [name]Sullivan[/name] [name]Micah[/name] and [name]Easton[/name] [name]Micah[/name].
My favorites are [name]Sullivan[/name], [name]Easton[/name], [name]Jenson[/name], [name]Grey[/name] (although I prefer [name]Greyson[/name]) and [name]West[/name]. [name]Jenson[/name] [name]Micah[/name] is great. [name]Grey[/name] [name]Micah[/name], sounds like you are describing the mineral mica as grey. [name]Easton[/name] and [name]West[/name] [name]Micah[/name] sound good.
[name]Brooks[/name] unfortunately reminds me of [name]Mel[/name] [name]Brooks[/name], and also reminds me of the more feminine names [name]Brook[/name] and [name]Brooklyn[/name] (which is ridiculously popular where I live).
[name]Davis[/name] - I prefer [name]David[/name] because it seems more masculine to me. The -is sound at the end of [name]Davis[/name] makes it sound kind of whiny to me.
[name]Deacon[/name] - [name]Just[/name] not my cup of tea and I don’t like the meaning.
[name]Owen[/name] - Easily a to 10 name where I live. My co-worker has a son named [name]Owen[/name] and there were two other [name]Owens[/name] in his class, plus a [name]Cohen[/name] and Cowen. I would check the popularity where you live before using it.
[name]Noah[/name] - Handsome, but popular.
[name]Crew[/name] and [name]Dax[/name] - Interesting but I like your other name choices better.
Thank you so far! I think the following is on our list so far. We chatted more about it last night.
[name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Easton[/name]
[name]Brooks[/name]…{@uselesskitty, I have to agree, that’s the one thing I can’t help but think of is the feminine form of it & I have a good friend named [name]Brooke[/name]}
[name]Jensen[/name]/[name]Jenson[/name]
[name]West[/name]
I am up for any more suggestions too!!! Thanks everyone!
[name]Beacon[/name] instead of [name]Deacon[/name]? I like the relation to ‘light’ it’s better than [name]Deacon[/name] (meaning servant), although I like the name. Wait, I think the C in [name]Beacon[/name] clashes with the C in [name]Micah[/name], up to you.
[name]Devlin[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Garner[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Adler[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Sutton[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Ellis[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Leaner[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Jaylen[/name]/[name]Jalen[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Nolen[/name] [name]Micah[/name] (meaning champion)
[name]Jansen[/name]/[name]Janzen[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Harbor[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Reeve[/name] [name]Micah[/name]
[name]Penn[/name] [name]Micah[/name] (doesn’t go well with [name]Micah[/name] but I love the name)
I love [name]Sutton[/name]! Can’t do [name]Beacon[/name] & we are nixing [name]Deacon[/name] as well. I think [name]Reeve[/name] & [name]Penn[/name] are great too. I am also considering adding [name]Nixon[/name]/Nixen to our list. Of course it’s presidential. But I love the name. I will mention our last name is [name]Harvey[/name].
We actually had [name]Sutton[/name] on our girl list as well. I’m going to have to marinate on [name]Adler[/name] & [name]Devlin[/name]. Thank you so much! Keep the suggestions comin!
