So stuck trying to find a boy's name...Suggestions please!

Boy Names
1

My husband and I have had little/ no problems deciding on a girls name… boys names are another story completely.
So far we have a long list of names that neither of us love. We’re slowly paring it down but none of these look like “the one.”

Would love to hear some suggestions!

Last name sounds like [name]Baker[/name]. Middle names will be family names.
Top of the list right now (not in love with any of these mind you):

[name]Reid[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Knox[/name]
[name]Eli[/name]
[name]Lincoln[/name]
[name]Seth[/name]
[name]Brantley[/name]

Thanks in advance for the help.

It looks like you like somewhat unique, yet recognizable names.
I’m not a fan of [name]Reid[/name], [name]Tobias[/name] or [name]Brantley[/name], but I like [name]Eli[/name] and [name]Seth[/name]. I love [name]Lincoln[/name] and [name]Knox[/name]. I think those are the standouts, for me.

What about
[name]Abram[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]

[name]Reid[/name]: [name]Rhys[/name]? [name]Rand[/name]? [name]Reeve[/name]?
[name]Tobias[/name]: [name]Theodore[/name]? [name]Theon[/name]? Tobiath? [name]Tatum[/name]?
[name]Knox[/name]: [name]Dex[/name]? [name]Dax[/name]? [name]Max[/name]? [name]Rex[/name]? [name]Nolan[/name]? [name]Nate[/name]?
[name]Eli[/name]: [name]Elijah[/name]? [name]Ezra[/name]? [name]Elliott[/name]?
[name]Lincoln[/name]: [name]Luther[/name]? [name]Lionel[/name]? [name]Kennedy[/name]? [name]Jackson[/name]?
[name]Seth[/name]: [name]Samuel[/name]? [name]Sasha[/name]? [name]Sage[/name]? [name]Sean[/name]?
[name]Brantley[/name]: [name]Bradley[/name]? [name]Bentley[/name]? [name]Bran[/name]? [name]Bram[/name]?

[name]Seth[/name] is awesome. It’s traditional/biblical and somewhat unusual but not in-your-face.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! Many are ones already on our list/ already eliminated including:

[name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Rhett[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Flint[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]West[/name]
[name]Kai[/name]

We’ve eliminated the names starting with ‘[name]El[/name]’ because we both love [name]Elise[/name] as a girl’s name and don’t want to be too matchy if we ever get a chance to use it.
Names like [name]Tucker[/name], [name]Taylor[/name], [name]Spencer[/name] (most occupation names) have been vetoed since they rhyme with our last name.

Picky huh? lol we are so stuck. I think I’ve probably looked at a couple thousand names by now and I still don’t really feel closer than when we started.

Keep the suggestions coming. They are much appreciated!

I actually love [name]Reid[/name] and [name]Seth[/name] from your list. [name]Weston[/name], [name]Evan[/name] and [name]Everett[/name] are some of my favorites. Good luck!

Hmm.
[name]How[/name] about
[name]Lyle[/name]
[name]Truman[/name]
[name]Zane[/name]
[name]Stanton[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Ogden[/name]

I know, boys names are so hard! We’re struggling with them at the moment too. If I were you I’d also stay away from 2 syllable names if you have a 2 syllable surname. They can work but maybe you’re not loving them with your last name because the flow isn’t perfect? I’ve added a list of names that I think might suit your tastes (seem to be strong, masculine names that are traditional but a bit edgy and not overly trendy). Sorry I haven’t come up with many more creative choices. [name]Baby[/name] brain is making me suffer!

[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Luke[/name]
[name]Mark[/name]
[name]Tom[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Leigh[/name]
[name]James[/name]

[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Etienne[/name]
[name]Joshua[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]

I ran the suggestions past hubby. Let’s just say he has more traditional/ mainstream, less exotic taste than many of the new suggestions (i.e. [name]Ogden[/name], [name]Etienne[/name]). Still great suggestions, you never know where they might lead.

[name]Seth[/name] is going to get another look and I think [name]Lincoln[/name] is top of my list… just one thing…
I should have mentioned this sooner (can we blame this on baby brain?). Our daughter’s name is [name]Madison[/name]: would really like something less popular this time around, and the ‘n’ ending is making me hesitant to choose another name that ends in ‘n.’ And there are so many names that end in ‘n’!

Thanks for the suggestions! Keep 'em coming :slight_smile:

[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Pace[/name]

[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]

[name]Lars[/name]
[name]Perseus[/name]
[name]Ned[/name]

[name]Gable[/name]

[name]Oliver[/name]

[name]Reid[/name] and [name]Brantley[/name] get my vote. I would go for [name]Eli[/name], but I like [name]Elijah[/name] better as a full name because [name]Eli[/name] seems a bit nicknamey to me.

[name]Tobias[/name] - I feel like it would get shortened to [name]Toby[/name], which I don’t like.
[name]Knox[/name] - Doesn’t [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Jolie[/name] have a kid named this? I feel like it’s more of a middle name.
[name]Lincoln[/name] - Too clunky [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Seth[/name] - I like this but something just seems off to me.

I hope this helps,
[name]Kat[/name].

I like all of your choices! My favorites are [name]Knox[/name] and [name]Lincoln[/name]. [name]Both[/name] strong names!

I’m in the same boat as you! Have you considered Breccen? Or [name]Abram[/name]? I love both of those, but they have been vetoed. I also love [name]Lincoln[/name], but have a nephew by the name which is also why [name]Abram[/name] was vetoed. Sounds too close to [name]Abraham[/name] and living in the u.s. I found it tacky to have a [name]Abraham[/name] and a [name]Lincoln[/name] so close!
