My husband and I are expecting our very first child in four months. We just found out that we are expecting a boy. We started composing a list and we need help! ha… On one hand I [name]LOVE[/name] classic names but on the other hand I love names like [name]Noah[/name], [name]Aiden[/name], [name]Connor[/name]…etc. My husband likes both, also. We just can’t decide on a name. We would really appreciate it if you all could give opinions and suggestions. Here is our list:
You really can’t go wrong with most of these names you have excellent taste! It would help to know your last name or at least what it sounds like…without knowing that my favorites are [name]Micah[/name], [name]Graham[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name]. CONGRATS!
[name]William[/name]- This is one of my all time favorites
[name]Liam[/name]- Another favorite, could be a nn for [name]William[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]- Another classic, but some feel the [name]Ben[/name] is over-used
[name]Micah[/name]-ok
[name]Mason[/name]- ok
[name]Aidan[/name]- extremely popular
[name]Connor[/name]- a good name, but doesn’t have a lot of personality to me
[name]Noah[/name]- Cute, but pretty popular
[name]Brennan[/name]- Cute but people may mishear it as [name]Brendon[/name]
[name]Rhys[/name] or [name]Reece[/name]-[name]LOVE[/name] this one, especially spelled [name]Rhys[/name]

[name]Ethan[/name]-#3 in 2008, but still a good name. Ages well.
