My husband and I are having a hard time agreeing on a boy name. Meaning has been important to me, but I’m thinking that it might have me overlooking some names I could really like. I have been drawn toward a few occupational or title names because I like the flow and sound of the names. Some of the names I like are more common whereas a few are more uncommon. Please give me your thoughts and opions on these names. Please feel free to add some more as well.
[name]Fletcher[/name] - This one is okay, but I’m not sold on it
[name]Sawyer[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this name, it is getting pretty popular, but it has a great sound. However, I know that people are now using this name for girls too.
[name]Shepherd[/name] - I like [name]Shepherd[/name] and you have the nn potential of [name]Shep[/name], it sounds handsome and strong
[name]Deacon[/name] - I like this one too, it has a great sound to it
[name]Slater[/name] - This is a great name, I think of Saved by the [name]Bell[/name], but it’s still a cool name!
Other occupational/title names
[name]Thatcher[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Booker[/name]
[name]Walker[/name]
[name]Cooper[/name] (really like this one!)
[name]Sawyer[/name] and [name]Shepherd[/name] are my favorites. I especially like [name]Shepherd[/name] because it feels so friendly and warm. I’m not a fan of the others.
I really like [name]Sawyer[/name], [name]Deacon[/name], and [name]Shepherd[/name]. [name]Fletcher[/name] was my dog so I can’t picture it on a child.
[name]Kiefer[/name]
[name]Porter[/name]
[name]Fisher[/name]
I know a super handsome [name]Gardner[/name] - though I can’t ever get over the image of an actual gardner but I have this problem with all occupational names. I do however really love [name]Spencer[/name].
[name]Sawyer[/name] - I think [name]Tom[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name] and I love it.
[name]Slater[/name] - I always think of [name]Christian[/name] [name]Slater[/name]. Which to me is a great thing cause he’s that rugged, bad boy sort of suavey sort of sexy. (I’m always for giving kids name with sexy-sultry name sakes. Hopefully it will rub off or something. Can’t hurt right?)
I really like:
[name]Fletcher[/name] - nn [name]Fletch[/name] is cool!
[name]Sawyer[/name] - Great, masculine name
[name]Deacon[/name] - This has always appealed to me
There have been great suggestions. I think [name]Archer[/name] and [name]Cooper[/name] are good contenders for your list.
I also love:
[name]Sayer[/name] (and like it much better than [name]Sawyer[/name])!
[name]Bishop[/name] (I think nn [name]Shep[/name] also works with this one)
[name]Royal[/name]
[name]Walker[/name]
[name]Sailor[/name]
[name]Penn[/name]
