Rough time finding any names hubby & I both like! Help!

General Name Discussion
1

So my husband and I are expecting our first little one in 2 months, and we are having a terrible time coming up with any boy names that we both love! If we have a girl, her name will be [name]Adeline[/name] (mn up in the air). We both adore [name]Adeline[/name], so I am thankful for that! But honestly, I really have a feeling this baby is a BOY so I am feeling worried about never being able to find a boy name that we can both be excited about :frowning:

I am in love with [name]Thaddeus[/name] [name]Watson[/name] ([name]Watson[/name] being my maiden name), but my husband is just not on board. I’ve been trying to win him over, but I’m thinking it’s not going to happen…he would never force me to go with a name I didn’t like, so I can’t do that to him either. Sigh.

Can you please give you opinions on these other name ideas? And suggest combinations? ([name]Both[/name] within the list and new ideas are welcome for middles – I do love the idea of using [name]Simon[/name], my husband’s name, as a middle, although I think he’d prefer our son have his “own” middle name). Our last name is [name]Kim[/name], so keep that in mind. (And names that you think would compliment [name]Adeline[/name], as we will be naming a future daughter that if we are ever blessed with one :slight_smile:

I love somewhat unusual and vintage names, but my husband prefers names that are more classic and that he’s heard on someone before (at least when it comes to boy names). So if you’re able to strike a happy medium between our two preferences, that’d be awesome! THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for the suggestions! And yes, melissaintlouis, I am also located in St. [name]Louis[/name]. [name]Born[/name] and raised! :slight_smile:

I’m digging these combos in particular:

[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Silas[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name] [name]Maxwell[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name] [name]Calvin[/name] (would [name]Calvin[/name] sound odd next to [name]Kim[/name], though? Like would it be too much like [name]Calvin[/name] Klein? I do think it’s adorable…)
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Everett[/name] [name]George[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name] [name]Oliver[/name]

Some new ideas from your ideas…like any?

[name]Wesley[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Julian[/name] [name]Silas[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Simon[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Ezekiel[/name]

What’s your read on [name]Clark[/name]? Does “[name]Clark[/name] [name]Kim[/name]” sound too much like [name]Clark[/name] [name]Kent[/name]? Is the k-k obnoxious?

[name]How[/name] about some more ideas for [name]Owen[/name]? Of all my boy names, my husband likes [name]Owen[/name] best. I’d like suggestions for [name]Owen[/name] as the first name AND as the middle – thanks! (Does “[name]Owen[/name] [name]Kim[/name]” sound too short when said sans middle name?)

Thanks!
