Solid boy's names

Boy Names
1

My husband and I have had a hard time agreeing on baby names. For a girl we both loved [name_f]Lola[/name_f] (although we had no middle name yet), BUT we just found out we’re having a boy - and we are very happy and excited! However, we cannot…I mean CANNOT agree on any boys names. (expecting in mid-[name_f]May[/name_f], 2014)

The middle name will be [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] (family name), and so far the only name we both like is [name_m]Connor[/name_m]. I wish it was a little less common, although it isn’t so common that I don’t like it.

We both liked [name_u]Brennan[/name_u], [name_m]Quinton[/name_m], and [name_u]Carter[/name_u]…but had to cross them off our list for various reasons.

I really like [name_m]Kellan[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], too…but my husband has vetoed them all. He hasn’t really given any name ideas at all. Husband has a thing against “E” names, also (who knows why? haha)

So aside from [name_m]Connor[/name_m] [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] C., do you have any other solid boys names, that aren’t too popular, that you think sound good with [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] as the middle name? THANKS!!!

Well if you guys like [name_m]Connor[/name_m], how about [name_m]Conan[/name_m]? Or [name_m]Conall[/name_m]? Similar but more different.

Good names are important. I spent years unsuccessfully looking for a stage name. In the end, one was given to me by a student of mine.

Naming a baby . . . I think [name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_u]Carter[/name_u] are way too yuppy. Boys with those names will probably be a target of bullying unless he’s huge and/or attend a yuppy prep school with Bif and [name_f]Babs[/name_f].

Go with something that will still sound cool 40 years from now. Otherwise, your kid will have a MULLET name.

It’s alright to have your own opinions of the names suggested, [name_m]Tommy[/name_m] Zai, but to suggest that children named [name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_u]Carter[/name_u] will be bullied just because they’re names you think are ‘yuppy’ is rude and unhelpful.

In future, why not attach some alternative suggestions in the same style!

Thanks, [name_u]Ren[/name_u]. I was about to say something similar. I have the feeling [name_m]Tommy[/name_m] won’t be a regular visitor here but if this continues, please alert me asap. And @tommy_zai, don’t be so rude.
