Stumped for names and due in 4 weeks! HELP!

General Name Discussion
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone. We’re due on [name_f]July[/name_f] 30 and are completely stumped for names. We don’t know the sex of the baby either. Here’s the problem: last name is [name_m]Johnson[/name_m], the second most common in the US (next to [name_m]Smith[/name_m]). So we don’t want a super common first name but nothing too out there either. Also all of the names ending with “son” or even “on” are out because it sounds too similar to [name_m]Johnson[/name_m].

HELP?! :confused:

[name_m]Will[/name_m] appreciate any and all suggestions.

Thank you so much.

I like [name_m]Cain[/name_m] for a boy and Felanice for a girl! (Also, new to this site and it is amazing!)

[name_m]Cain[/name_m] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m]

Felanice [name_m]Johnson[/name_m]

It’s a bit hard to suggest names you might like without more information on what style of names you like. What names have you liked, but decided against? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer out of the Top 100 or Top 500?

5

Those are both unique choices. So are you looking for something more common? You said nothing “out there”… hmm…

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m] or [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m]?

[name_f]Welcome[/name_f]!! :slight_smile:

Thank you so much everyone! These are all great lists and just about exactly along the lines I’m thinking. Jamjam, about 2/3 of the ones on your list are actually on our lists too!

But how do you narrow it down? [name_m]How[/name_m] do you get down to a top five or even a top ten? Any advice on that front? I know these are such vague questions, I just feel a little lost!

11

Have both of you make a list and swap them, circle the ones you absolutely love then compare and see which ones you have in common.

If you care about flow, read out the names with your surname to hear how they sound together.
