For a boy I love [name]Liam[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name], [name]Carter[/name] and [name]Nathan[/name]. The boys’ list in general is very nice, but those are the ones that I like the most.

For a girl I like [name]Mia[/name], [name]Lily[/name] and [name]Sophia[/name]. I also like [name]Shiloh[/name] but it just reminds me so much of [name]Brad[/name] [name]Pitt[/name] and [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Jolie[/name]! [name]Emma[/name] and [name]Grace[/name] are nice too, but I prefer [name]Mia[/name], [name]Lily[/name] and [name]Sophia[/name]. [name]Lexi[/name] is okay, but I prefer it as a nickname for [name]Alexis[/name] or [name]Alexa[/name]. I’m not too keen on the rest.

Congrats and welcome to Nameberry. I’m going to be brutally honest but please don’t take it personally. I’m rating the names not criticizing you. :slight_smile:

[name]Bentley[/name] - A brand name and teen mom name. Avoid it like the plague. [name]Bennett[/name] would be a classy alternative.

[name]Brantley[/name] - A little too cutesy for a boy. [name]Grant[/name] would be a strong alternative.

[name]Liam[/name] - A fine name but popular

[name]Maddox[/name] - a Brangelina child name and a little overly macho for my taste. [name]Lennox[/name] is nicer in my opinion.

[name]Maxwell[/name] - A handsome and distinguished name.

[name]Roman[/name] - A strong but trendy name with a convicted felon association ([name]Roman[/name] Polanski)

[name]Logan[/name] - Boring and somewhat dated. Being used a lot more for girls as well.

[name]Karson[/name] - [name]Carson[/name] with a “C” is fine. [name]Karson[/name] with a “K” is very Kardashian.

[name]Carter[/name] - I think of former President [name]Jimmy[/name] [name]Carter[/name]. Not my favourite occupational name. Try [name]Spencer[/name], [name]Sawyer[/name], [name]Porter[/name], [name]Miller[/name] or [name]Mercer[/name].

[name]Landon[/name] - Ok but very trendy

[name]Nathan[/name] - a fine Biblical name on its own or as a nn for [name]Nathaniel[/name]. I like the longer version better but [name]Nathan[/name] is ok too.

[name]Luke[/name] - Short, strong and simple.

[name]Jacob[/name] - A wonderful Biblical classic but it has been popular for ages. I like the nn [name]Jake[/name].

Girls:

[name]Aspen[/name] - Not a fan of this name but I’ve heard worse. Try [name]Maple[/name], [name]Cedar[/name], [name]Cypress[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Rowan[/name] or [name]Holly[/name] for other tree names.

[name]Lexi[/name] - Babyish nickname. Sorry I don’t even think it has any substance to it.

[name]Emma[/name] - A classic name but currently at No# 2 in the US according to last year’s stats (that’s 18,674 girls). Try [name]Eva[/name].

[name]Grace[/name] - I like this name better as a first name. A beautiful name with a simple meaning. [name]How[/name] about [name]Rose[/name], [name]Jane[/name] or [name]Mae[/name]?

[name]Mia[/name] - Sweet but popular

[name]Miriam[/name] - a strong, classic Biblical gem!

Larey - Too similar to [name]Larry[/name]. Try [name]Lara[/name] or [name]Lana[/name].

[name]Carlie[/name] - A little cutesy and trendy. [name]Carlie[/name] meet [name]Harley[/name] and [name]Marley[/name]! What about [name]Hadley[/name]?

[name]Lily[/name] - A lovely nature name that’s also vintage. Pretty.What about [name]Lila[/name], [name]Leila[/name] or [name]Lucy[/name]?

[name]Shiloh[/name] - OK but again closely association with a celebrity child. I like it works better on a boy.

[name]Kaylyn[/name] - Sorry this is a “typical” teen mom name. It doesn’t even look like a name to me as it’s just two popular sounds smooshed together with lots of y’s thrown in the mix.

[name]Sophia[/name] - The number one name in [name]America[/name] last year. Your daughter may have to go through school as "[name]Sophia[/name] Insert Surname Initial Here.

[name]Izzie[/name] - [name]Just[/name] a nickname for [name]Isabella[/name]/[name]Isabel[/name], [name]Isadora[/name] or even [name]Elizabeth[/name].

[name]Karis[/name] - I prefer the [name]Charis[/name] spelling but this is a more unusual choice. It’s pronounced the same way. You may like the Welsh name [name]Carys[/name] too.

Boy Faves: [name]Maxwell[/name], [name]Nathan[/name], [name]Luke[/name] and [name]Jacob[/name]
Girl Faves: [name]Emma[/name], [name]Grace[/name], [name]Miriam[/name] and [name]Lily[/name]

None of these names excite me except for [name]Roman[/name] and [name]Miriam[/name]. [name]Roman[/name] [name]Maxwell[/name] would be awesome, and [name]Shiloh[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] would be lovely.

Boys:

[name]Bentley[/name] - I like it ok, but it’s too popular and trendy, [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Brantley[/name] - This may be my favorite on your list. I love [name]Brandt[/name] / [name]Brant[/name] just as much.
[name]Liam[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this name. I named my pup this (which I may regret later since I can’t use it for a kiddo now). It’s such a great name, but it’s been really popular lately. However, popularity may not be an issue with you.
[name]Maddox[/name] - Not a huge fan. Too [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Jolie[/name] for me.
[name]Maxwell[/name] - It’s ok. I think [name]Max[/name] is adorable, but I’m not crazy about the name. Too plain for me.
[name]Roman[/name] - [name]Just[/name] ok for me.
[name]Logan[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t really care for it. Too popular and plain.
[name]Karson[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like the K spelling. [name]Don[/name]'t care for [name]Carson[/name] either really, but much prefer it to the K spelling.
[name]Carter[/name] - [name]Just[/name] ok. I’m not wild about it.
[name]Landon[/name] - Not bad, but a little popular for my tastes.
[name]Nathan[/name] - [name]Love[/name] the nn [name]Nate[/name]. Strong name.
[name]Luke[/name] - This is a classic, strong name. I prefer it in the middle though.
[name]Jacob[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Jake[/name]. But again, too popular for me to pick.

Girls:

[name]Aspen[/name] - Very cute. I know an adorable little girl named this and I like it.
[name]Lexi[/name] - Looks incomplete. I don’t really care for it.
[name]Emma[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this name. Very pretty and classic, [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Grace[/name] - Classic. I like it best as a middle though.

Larey - [name]Don[/name]'t like at all.
[name]Carlie[/name] - Never cared for [name]Carlie[/name] / [name]Carly[/name]. Sounds really dated to me.
[name]Lily[/name] - Really cute. [name]Love[/name] this name and the name [name]Lucy[/name] for a little girl. I like it as a short form of [name]Lillian[/name] though.
[name]Shiloh[/name] - Cute. But also heavily associated with [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Jolie[/name] for me. Or the movie about the dog.
[name]Kaylyn[/name] - Not a fan. Looks misspelled.
[name]Sophia[/name] - Very cute, but has had a recent upsurge lately.
[name]Izzie[/name] - [name]Just[/name] sounds like a nn to me. And I don’t care for it too much.

Boys:
[name]Maxwell[/name] is easily my favorite, followed by [name]Roman[/name]
[name]Bentley[/name]- as a Teen Mom, I think it’s a really, really terrible idea for you to have a baby with the same name as a baby from the show “teen mom.”
[name]Brantley[/name]- Super trendy and destined to sound dated.
[name]Maddox[/name]- Too [name]Angelina[/name]/Trendy/Celebrity.
[name]Karson[/name]- Not with the K.

The rest of the names on your boys’ list are all quite popular and trendy, but I don’t think they’re bad names, just not my taste and a little bit bland.

Girls:

[name]Aspen[/name]- First syllable really invites teasing.
[name]Lexi[/name]- go for [name]Alexandra[/name], [name]Alexis[/name], [name]Alexa[/name], etc. with this as a nickname.
[name]Mia[/name]- So so for me.
[name]Miriam[/name]-I love this, a definite standout on the list. By far my #1 choice here. You can even use [name]Mia[/name] as a nickname.
Larey- Like [name]Larry[/name]? To me, this is a middle aged man name.
[name]Carlie[/name], [name]Kaylyn[/name]- Very trendy and dated. Not my taste.
[name]Shiloh[/name]- Another Brangelina name? For me it’s still associated with the dog as well.
[name]Lily[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Grace[/name], [name]Sophia[/name]- Beautiful. Yes, they’re all extremely popular, but I think these specific names deserve the attention they get.
[name]Izzie[/name]- Use a full name- maybe [name]Isadora[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], or [name]Isabella[/name].
[name]Karis[/name]- I love this name, but only spelled [name]Carys[/name] (Welsh form meaning [name]Love[/name]) or [name]Charis[/name] (Greek form, pronounced the same, meaning “[name]Grace[/name]” or “Kindness,” also shares root with the word [name]Charity[/name].)

Boys:

[name]Bentley[/name] - Too “Teen Mom” for me.
[name]Brantley[/name] - Sorry, I think this name is ugly.

[name]Mischa[/name],

Thank you so much for your honesty, and it’s all fine! I like when people are honest and speak their mind!

I’m having an hard time choosing a name… At the beginning I thought it would be easy but now I’m just not sure with any of these names! this is way more complicated that I thought…

13

Thank you everyone for the feedback! I’m having such a hard time choosing a good name for my baby! It’s way more difficult than I thought! I have a really big family and we are all very close, and everyone has as opinion to give and that makes even harder for me and my bf. We don’t want to hurt anybody’s feeling but this is our baby, our first baby and we want to pick out the name we like but I guess some people have a hard time understand that! I’m so confused and not sure about any name, or my taste about names! i sure need help :slight_smile:
