[name]Do[/name] you or your husband have any connections with the city? I think the name will inevitably bring [name]Boston[/name], Massachusetts to mind, especially in the USA, it would be nice if the city had sentimental value to you but if not I would use [name]Wyatt[/name].
My childhood teddy bear was named [name]Boston[/name] so I have a special spot in my heart for that name. I think it could work on a little boy, but the alliteration could be too much…
No connection. I have no idea why he is so stuck on that name. We love the city but no connection reason. I would not mind so much but our last name starts with B and that sounds funny to me. I am not in love with ANY name right now. Ugh I’m so picky . Lol
I think [name]Wyatt[/name] is the better choice, I don’t know how much teasing this might be, but I would take note that [name]Boston[/name]'s initials would be B.J.B and bj is a common slang word… My husband never had this problem ([name]Brendan[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]), but kids these days pick up on slang faster than they used to… so something to keep in mind. He also, personally, wouldn’t recommend it even though he wasn’t teased.
I actually really like [name]Boston[/name], and I’m a fan of alliteration, so personally I like [name]Boston[/name] Br___
I prefer [name]Wyatt[/name] myself because I think it’s a more versatile name that can crossover many different name styles (eg. it can be paired with a traditional name like [name]Henry[/name] or [name]Audrey[/name], a Biblical name like [name]Jesse[/name] or [name]Elizabeth[/name] or a nature name like [name]Heath[/name] or [name]Iris[/name], a surname like [name]Cooper[/name] or [name]Aubrey[/name]). If this is your first child, it’s always good to remember that what you name your firstborn often sets the name pattern for future children. [name]Just[/name] something to think about before making your final decision.
I like [name]Boston[/name] way more. [name]Wyatt[/name] is #48, too common for me. I don’t think the alliteration is a problem either.
I know someone personally that named their little boy [name]Boston[/name] and all they get is “O.o” and “what did you say his name was again?” [name]Every[/name] time they tell someone his name they get a worried look on their face because they’re not sure how the person will react.Not to mention BJ are not good initials and could lead to a lot of teasing. Id say dont do it. Maybe [name]Austin[/name]? Its a lot more usable of a city name that has the same sound. [name]Wyatt[/name] is SUPER cute, it IS rising in popularity but its still a winning name. [name]Wyatt[/name] [name]James[/name] is very handsome.
Normally i’d say NOT [name]BOSTON[/name], but i actually dislike [name]Wyatt[/name] so much that i’m starting to warm to [name]Boston[/name] [name]James[/name].
