Our 3rd boy - Heath?

Naming our first ([name]Blake[/name]) was easy. Our second ([name]Grant[/name]) was much harder. Now our 3rd boy is on the way. We are considering [name]HEATH[/name]. I am not sure I love it. When I say the name, some people ask me to repeat it. It must be hard to hear. I read over boy names and haven’t really found anything else yet that my husband will agree to.

Please give me your thoughts on the name [name]Heath[/name]. Not knowing this next baby’s name is driving me nuts.

Personally, I love [name]Heath[/name]! I really came around to it about a year ago. I think it’s really handsome.

I really like it. All the [name]Heath[/name]'s I’ve known have been handsome and really nice guys so I have nothing to fault about it. It goes really well with [name]Blake[/name] and [name]Grant[/name] as well.

I went to high school with a [name]Heath[/name], and I don’t think he ever had trouble with his name. I really like it! He was a nice, good looking guy. It goes great with [name]Blake[/name] and [name]Grant[/name]! :slight_smile:

[name]Heath[/name] is one of my all time favorites. It goes perfectly with [name]Blake[/name] and [name]Grant[/name]!

Thanks for your replies so far. They are helping me like the name even more. Thanks, [name]Beth[/name]

I agree with everyone else. I think [name]Heath[/name] is a really handsome, slightly rugged name. I would imagine someone handsome, a bit atheltic/outdoorsy, and smart - more in a clever way than an academic way. I also think it works amazingly well with your sibset. I actually love your name choices all the way around.

Okay, I don’t mean to rain on the parade here, as [name]Heath[/name] is currently getting a lot of love - but I absolutely do not like [name]Heath[/name] at all. To me it’s just a weird sound. Like an angry cat noise or something! I know a baby [name]Heath[/name] and I just cannot bring myself to like that name.
[name]Don[/name]'t mean to offend, it is just not my style at all. That being said though, if it’s a name you really love and feel confident about using then go for it. It does fit nicely in your sibset, that much I can admit.

[name]Just[/name] my input!

[name]Heath[/name] is my dad’s name, so it’s kind of hard for me to give an opinion on it. I think [name]Heath[/name] goes wonderfully with [name]Blake[/name] and [name]Grant[/name]. I would be sure to use a middle name with heavy sounds. As my grandmother could tell you, [name]Heath[/name] is one of those names that’s hard to yell when your child is in trouble.

Thanks nj003 for your honesty. Your cat comment cracks me up, but I can see what you mean. Interesting view.

Thanks agirlinred, I have worried how people will hear the name. Funny point about not being able to yell the name. Thank you!

I like it. Goes well with your other names. It is a much softer name than your first two; even though they’re one-syllable names, they have a mix of hard and soft sounds, whereas [name]Heath[/name] is kind of all H and E. I like [name]Reid[/name] or [name]Luke[/name] (though it is similar to [name]Blake[/name]) better with your boys’ names, if you’re looking for other options.
