[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries! My boyfriend and I have decided on the name [name_m]Callen[/name_m] for our future son. His mom’s maiden name is [name_m]Callahan[/name_m], so we want to honor that. I’m not crazy about the middle name he has chosen, which is [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Jax[/name_m]. It’s a cute name, but the [name_m]Jax[/name_m]/[name_m]Jaxon[/name_m] thing is becoming so popular that I’m not sold on the idea. If I had my choice, I’d go with [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Valor[/name_m], but the “[name_m]Al[/name_m]” sound clashes. I’d love to hear some fresh ideas for a middle name. The only requirements for a middle name would be:
Can’t start with a P, because it would clash with the last name.
Can’t be too out-there, like [name_m]Bear[/name_m] or [name_m]Romeo[/name_m] or something like that because my boyfriend is picky, and his name taste isn’t as quirky as mine
I don’t want a “typical” middle name, like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] or [name_u]James[/name_u].
Thank you so much for your help, and I can’t wait to see your suggestions!
Thanks guys! My favorites were [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Beau[/name_m], [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_u]Gray[/name_u], [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Rhett[/name_m], and [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. [name_u]Jude[/name_u] is actually one of my all time favorite names! But, my boyfriend is super picky (UGH), and he isn’t buying them. I thought he would at least go for [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Rhett[/name_m], because his dad’s name is [name_u]Everett[/name_u], and that would be a cool way to honor him, but nope. Please keep the suggestions coming though!
I love [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_u]Pax[/name_u] for you. [name_u]Pax[/name_u] means “peace”. I know you said no Ps but it could work, especially if the surname is two or more syllables.
The name [name_m]Ryker[/name_m] is in your signature. [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Ryker[/name_m] sounds good.
My brother-in-law and his wife are due to have a baby next month and they are naming him [name_m]Ryker[/name_m]. Maybe [name_m]Ryker[/name_m] is too out there for your hubby? Some of these might be too…hmmm…
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] was my first thought.
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] aka c.j.
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Zachariah[/name_m] or [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Jayce[/name_m] …sort of like [name_m]Jax[/name_m] but not as common
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_u]Chase[/name_u]
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] …not as common as [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], but based on it enough as not to be odd
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Maddox[/name_m]
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Brooks[/name_m]
I love [name_m]Callen[/name_m] Brave (Of course, because my first choice was [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Valor[/name_m]!) and I also like [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]. [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_u]Reece[/name_u] would have actually been his first choice, because his grandfather’s name was [name_u]Reece[/name_u], but his cousin beat him to using the name. Thanks!
I really love all of your suggestions. My favorites are [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Vaughn[/name_m], [name_m]Zane[/name_m], and [name_m]Archer[/name_m]. I [name_f]DO[/name_f] love [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Ryker[/name_m], and we have talked about that, because I read that [name_m]Ryker[/name_m] is a form of [name_m]Richard[/name_m], which is a family name on my side. However, my aunt and uncle are expecting a baby boy named [name_m]Lawson[/name_m] [name_m]Ryder[/name_m], and I’m not sure yet if I would still use [name_m]Ryker[/name_m]. Family members keep beating us to good name combos lol! We probably will call him [name_u]Cal[/name_u] for short at times, I think it’s adorably cool Thank you!
[name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] is my favorite on this list. I like it because it’s similar to my name, [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]. Thanks for the imput!
