We just found out were having a surprise baby. (a lot sooner than planned, our youngest is 10 months) But what joyful news anyway. So the first thing I always do is look for names. This time around we have some girl names already picked out and that’s just a narrowing down game. Boys on the other hand are very difficult. My husband got to pick our last 2 boys names. Believe me I fought for my names but he is so stubborn I eventually just went with my favorite on his lists. This time, if its a boy, I want to be happy with the name. He understands but him not being a name nerd is confused as well, lol.
So here are names we agree upon:(in order of his preference)
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m]
[name_m]Maddox[/name_m]
[name_m]Wes[/name_m]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
I really do like them but I’m not “in love” with them. I might grow to love them but currently not so much.
Names I tried for, but failed:
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
I know I have plenty of time, I would just love some suggestions. Thank you
Middle names:
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Ford[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
I actually really like his list! [name_m]Wesley[/name_m], [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], and [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] are on my own list. And [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] is my son’s middle name (tho admittedly I have mixed feelings about that one). I also like your list–minus [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] which has a trendy, unisex feel to it in my mind.
Some suggestions:
[name_m]Wes[/name_m] - [name_m]Even[/name_m] though both your sons have short one syllable names, this feels too nickname-y to me. I prefer [name_m]Wesley[/name_m], or maybe [name_m]Weston[/name_m] (combo of [name_m]Wes[/name_m] and [name_u]Sutton[/name_u]) nn [name_m]Wes[/name_m]? [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m], [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]Weston[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m]…
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m] - similar to [name_m]Knox[/name_m] and [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], a bit less trendy.
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m] - kind of a combo of [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] but with more the feel of your husband’s style? maybe you’d get the nn [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] - [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] - similar to [name_u]Finn[/name_u] but maybe more your husband’s style?
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] - [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_u]Dean[/name_u], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]?
A lot of great names, I especially like [name_m]Knox[/name_m], [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], (not a fan of [name_m]Wes[/name_m] but like [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]), [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Miles[/name_m], and [name_u]Jude[/name_u].
With [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_u]Chase[/name_u], and [name_m]Zack[/name_m] -
[name_u]Dean[/name_u], [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_u]Spencer[/name_u], [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_u]Nico[/name_u], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Milo[/name_m], and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
What about [name_m]Weston[/name_m]? Similar to [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] but can still use [name_m]Wes[/name_m].
Or maybe [name_m]Grant[/name_m]? similar to [name_m]Graham[/name_m] but slightly more ‘new world’ and goes well with your other names.
Thank you.
Yes my husband would probably like [name_m]Griffin[/name_m].
Ya I prefer [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and he prefers [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]. I’m not sold on [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] but I do like it.
I’ll add [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] to the list to ask.
We would probably go with [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] but my cousin already used it and were close.
UPDATE:
We added [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and took away [name_m]Knox[/name_m], [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], and [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
Plus, lol, I told my husband I am putting [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] back in the equation. He might not be too happy about it but I will not give up. If there is anymore suggestions that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again
