I need a little help with boy’s names. I am expecting boy #3 in February, and I never expected needing 3 boys’ names! I have a [name]Jacob[/name] (used mostly because it’s a family name) and a [name]Colin[/name] (a name we both love). We need a name that feels unique enough for me that I don’t hear it all the time, but it needs to be ordinary enough for my husband.
For instance:
[name]Griffin[/name]–I like but my husband has never heard of anyone with that name
[name]Maxwell[/name] nn [name]Max[/name]-- a name I suggested, but have too many close friends who’ve used that name, so I’m not feeling it now
[name]Oliver[/name], [name]Owen[/name], --but both sound too similar to [name]Colin[/name] ([name]Colin[/name] often is called [name]Collie[/name], so no [name]Ollie[/name], and say [name]Colin[/name] and [name]Owen[/name] like a little kid learning to talk. haha)
[name]Dylan[/name]–good, but also like [name]Colin[/name] (we would like to avoid a name with a -lin/-lyn ending)
Middle name will probably be [name]James[/name], last name [name]Rule[/name]
Here are some more ideas for you.
[name]Curtis[/name]
[name]Duncan[/name]
[name]Quinton[/name]
[name]Dane[/name]
[name]Clay[/name]
[name]Milo[/name]
[name]Deacon[/name]
[name]Clark[/name]
[name]Brent[/name]
[name]Craig[/name]
[name]Benson[/name]
[name]Keagan[/name]
[name]Barrett[/name]

I second the suggestions of [name]Dane[/name], [name]Clark[/name], [name]Warren[/name] and [name]Hugh[/name].
Others:
[name]Garrett[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Heath[/name]
[name]Neil[/name]
We’ve actually been discussing [name]Everett[/name] as well–which several of you suggested. My husband just doesn’t like it as much as [name]Max[/name], so it’s out!
lovejaybayy- I love [name]Benjamin[/name], and all the [name]Ben[/name]- names. Unfortunately I just had a nephew named [name]Bennett[/name].
rsauer01- I’m fond of [name]Hudson[/name], [name]Gray[/name], and [name]Graham[/name].
lis09- [name]Dane[/name], [name]Brent[/name], and [name]Benson[/name] are all great names.
holbs- I would definitely consider [name]Garrett[/name], as it’s actually a family name. My husband hasn’t been as excited about it when I’ve suggested it. I also like [name]Grant[/name]!
[name]Jacob[/name], [name]Colin[/name] and [name]Maxwell[/name] [name]James[/name] would be my top choice, but I can see why you’d want to avoid [name]Maxwell[/name] now. My suggestions would be:
[name]How[/name] about [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], or [name]Oliver[/name], they are some top picks of mine that were shot down but seem to fit your criteria.
