Need boy name ideas!!!!!

Boy Names
1

Hello,

My husband and I are really struggling with coming up with a boys name we like. It seems all the names I love my husband hates and vice versa.

A couple things we do agree on:

(1) we don’t want anything too common (we both have VERY common names and hated having 5 kids in our classes with the same name).
(2) we don’t want anything too out there though… we have pretty traditional families so we don’t want to rock the boat too much ;).
(3) We want a name that is cute for a baby but a strong sounding (and smart) adult name.
(4) We would like to avoid longer names with common nicknames (ex [name]William[/name] ie [name]Bill[/name] or [name]Will[/name], or [name]Alexander[/name] ie [name]Alex[/name] or [name]Sandy[/name], [name]Daniel[/name] ie [name]Danny[/name] etc) as we know inevitably our boy would end up with the shortened version of these names.
(5) The middle name is going to be [name]Joshua[/name]. We would like something that not only sounds good with [name]Joshua[/name] but also doesn’t start with a B or a J (I am not a fan of nicknames like BJ or JJ).
(6) Our last name starts with an L so L names are also out (it just sounds too weird). The last name is two syllables if that helps.

Some names we have liked but just know they aren’t “the one” yet are: [name]Eli[/name], [name]Evan[/name] and [name]Noah[/name]

I would reallllllly appreciate any ideas/suggestions/advice!!!

Thanks :slight_smile:

[name]Hi[/name]- Your criteria sounded just like ours did with our 2 sons. I had a list of names but in the end went with [name]Owen[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] [name]Patrick[/name]. [name]Both[/name] middles are family names and [name]Owen[/name] is more popular then I would have liked but it was my husband’s choice. I also liked [name]Finn[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Cian[/name], [name]Dashiell[/name], [name]Graham[/name], [name]Kai[/name], [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name]…Good [name]Luck[/name] to you!
