My husband and I are expecting our third child. We don’t know the gender yet, but we have two girl names picked out. The boys name, on the other hand…ugh. the only names I can get out of DH that he likes (and I’m not too fond of) are
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Eli[/name]
[name]Dallas[/name]
[name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Augustus[/name].
Anyone have any suggestions on names similar to those that he might like? Please?
Thanks in advance for any help! 
[name]Maddox[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]
[name]Braxton[/name]
[name]Landon[/name]
[name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Slade[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name] (I like the full version of the name)
[name]Ashton[/name]
[name]August[/name] (simpler, I like better)
[name]Easton[/name]
[name]Weston[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name]
[name]Marcus[/name]
[name]Maxwell[/name]
Good luck!!
Hmm, with the exception of [name]Dallas[/name], he seems to like traditional names ([name]Augustus[/name] even verging into ancient!). You don’t mention what your style is, though. What are your other kids’ first names, or what girl names do you agree on? What is it about these names that you don’t like? It’ll give us a better understanding of what the compromise would look like…
Yes-- it would be helpful to know what your other two children are named so we can see what kind of “style” fits best. Here are some alternatives:
[name]Alexander[/name]: [name]Alec[/name], [name]Zander[/name], [name]Zane[/name], [name]William[/name], [name]Liam[/name], [name]Alastair[/name], [name]Charles[/name], [name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]: [name]Sean[/name], [name]Sylvester[/name], [name]Seth[/name], [name]Samuel[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Stephen[/name], [name]Soren[/name], [name]Cyrus[/name]
[name]Eli[/name]: [name]Elias[/name], [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Eleazar[/name], [name]Lazlo[/name], [name]Lazarus[/name], [name]Eamon[/name], [name]Edwin[/name], [name]Edward[/name], [name]Miles[/name], [name]Milo[/name]
[name]Dallas[/name]: [name]Austin[/name], [name]Kennedy[/name], [name]Truman[/name], [name]Travis[/name], [name]Worth[/name], [name]Houston[/name], [name]Wyatt[/name], [name]Beckham[/name], [name]Ford[/name]
[name]Nicholas[/name]: [name]Collin[/name], [name]Dominic[/name], [name]Patrick[/name], [name]Declan[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Richard[/name] , [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Nico[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Augustus[/name]: [name]August[/name], [name]Marcus[/name], [name]Lucian[/name], [name]Anthony[/name], [name]Tiberius[/name], [name]Gaius[/name], [name]Julian[/name]/[name]Julius[/name], [name]Linus[/name], [name]Cassius[/name]
I like [name]Silas[/name] and [name]Augustus[/name] from your list!
Our other kids are Aasyn (like [name]Jason[/name] without the J) and [name]Hayleigh[/name].
The girl names we have picked out are [name]Skylar[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] and [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Elise[/name].
I’m not fond of [name]Augustus[/name], I really just don’t like [name]Dallas[/name]. [name]Alexander[/name] seems like a filler middle name to me. [name]Nicholas[/name] is DH’s first name and I prefer [name]Elias[/name] over [name]Elijah[/name], but he doesn’t. I feel picky and I don’t mean to be. 
we have an agreement that he gets to pick the first name for a boy, so that’s probably my issue. I just don’t like his picks for first names.
Okay, how about…
instead of [name]Alexander[/name]— [name]Evander/name, [name]Lysander[/name], [name]Sanders[/name], [name]Zander[/name], [name]Xander[/name], [name]Anders[/name], [name]Alex[/name]
instead of [name]Silas[/name]— [name]Cyrus[/name], [name]Ellis[/name], [name]Soren[/name], [name]Miles[/name], [name]Myron[/name], [name]Cyril[/name]
instead of [name]Eli[/name]— [name]Elias[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Elian[/name], [name]Malachi[/name], [name]Elliott[/name], [name]Ellery[/name]
instead of [name]Dallas[/name]— ummm… hmm… [name]Austin[/name]… San [name]Antonio[/name]?
instead of [name]Nicholas[/name]— [name]Marcellus[/name], [name]Marcus[/name], [name]Nicolai[/name], [name]Nico[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Thaddeus[/name], [name]Theodore[/name]
instead of [name]Augustus[/name]— [name]Caius[/name], [name]Amias[/name], [name]Lucius[/name], [name]Phineas[/name], [name]Darius[/name], [name]Aldous[/name], [name]Augustine[/name]
