Looking for some input or suggestions for DS 2. I feel like I’ve been through every boy baby name out there and we have a list, but maybe something is missing from the list that I’m overlooking. Due at the end of [name_u]June[/name_u] with DS 2.
DS 1 is [name_u]Carson[/name_u].
The list DH and I agree on:
[name_m]Crosby[/name_m]
[name_m]Clayton[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Ansel[/name_m]
[name_m]Ace[/name_m]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] was on the list, but I’m just nixing it for the “son” factor. Too match-y for me.
[name_m]Crosby[/name_m] is our front-runner probably. DH is leaning more towards [name_m]Clayton[/name_m] but recently said [name_m]Crosby[/name_m] has really grown on him. My biggest concern is that I’ve now had 2 people associate it with [name_m]Bill[/name_m] Cosby which is no longer an OK thing given the negativity with him in the last year…
I’ve also really come to like [name_m]Shepard[/name_m], but DH says absolutely no. Wah. [name_m]Duke[/name_m] and [name_m]Thor[/name_m] are names that I like, but they also seem more like nicknames…
Boy names are hard as is, but on top of it, in our area it seems to be a big baby boom and out of all of the people I know or have met that are expecting, I only know of TWO who are having girls. The rest are all boys. So I’m trying to come up with something that won’t be overly popular but also not too out there and will age well. After writing that out it just screams “picky” to me :shock:
I really like [name_u]Carson[/name_u] and [name_m]Crosby[/name_m]. I associate [name_m]Crosby[/name_m] with [name_m]Bing[/name_m] [name_m]Crosby[/name_m]. I wish there was a way to know how many people would draw a line between [name_m]Crosby[/name_m] and [name_m]Bill[/name_m] Cosby, because I wouldn’t have made that association.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_u]Campbell[/name_u]?
For the number of people we’ve told (we tell them our list, I’m NAF of telling people names beforehand but I know people are curious so I give them a general list we like) I’ve only had 2 people say they associate it with [name_m]Bill[/name_m] Cosby - one being my very opinionated, pretty judgmental little sister who always has an opinion on everything i say and do. The other time it was brought up was in a group, and another person was quick to say that the younger generation is going to associate it with [name_u]Sidney[/name_u] [name_m]Crosby[/name_m], the hockey player (which is OK in my book, as I come from a hockey state.) So it’s not as though many people have said it, but since it came from someone so close one time I’m all panicked.
NAF of [name_u]Campbell[/name_u]
OK I have a new name to add to the list
[name_m]Callahan[/name_m]
I know it sounds last nameish, but I really like it. NN [name_u]Cal[/name_u] I suppose. input?
[name_u]Carson[/name_u] and [name_u]Dallas[/name_u]
[name_u]Carson[/name_u] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Carson[/name_u] and [name_m]Meyer[/name_m]
[name_u]Carson[/name_u] and [name_m]Ramsey[/name_m] (not in the top 1000 in the US)
I love the name [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] on your list. It definitely wouldn’t be too common, and it has a great feel to it.
Some other names you might like (Numbers from US Popularity List):
[name_m]Davis[/name_m] (#446)
[name_u]Alden[/name_u] (#715)
[name_u]Keegan[/name_u] (#238)
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] (#904)
[name_m]Broderick[/name_m] (#973)
[name_m]Langston[/name_m] (#748)
[name_u]Rory[/name_u] (#416)
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] (#419)
[name_u]Chandler[/name_u] (#420)
[name_m]Clark[/name_m] (#382)
[name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Crosby[/name_m]! I think of the character that [name_m]Dax[/name_m] [name_m]Shepard[/name_m] plays on the show Parenthood (one of the best shows ever!)
I also like [name_m]Callahan[/name_m]/[name_u]Cal[/name_u] and [name_m]Clayton[/name_m]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the suggestion of [name_u]Chandler[/name_u] and [name_m]Broderick[/name_m]!
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Crosby[/name_m]- also associate it with the character from parenthood way before [name_m]Bing[/name_m] Cosby
[name_m]Callahan[/name_m] is also awesome, and I think [name_m]Ansel[/name_m] is really cool
Those three would be my picks, it’s hard to choose one of them, but it would probably be [name_m]Crosby[/name_m]- I really like its cool and jazzy charm
I really like [name_m]Ace[/name_m] & [name_m]Clayton[/name_m]. I think [name_m]Clayton[/name_m] goes well with [name_u]Carson[/name_u] maybe a little better than [name_m]Ace[/name_m], if you like your names to “fit”.
I would personally go with [name_m]Ace[/name_m] probably, because I don’t mind if names don’t exactly fit.
just saw [name_m]Callahan[/name_m]. I really like this too!
