I have a huge list of baby boys names, and I’m trying to narrow them down to maybe 5-10 names. I’ve had a favorite name the whole pregnancy, but I want some back ups if I change my mind about it.
what do you think of these names? any associations? too popular/weird? i’m not concerned about them sounding too trendy or something like that. I like trendy names I guess most people here won’t like them, so no need to be super harsh
[name_m]Kingsley[/name_m]
[name_m]Rockwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m]
[name_m]Zadon[/name_m] or [name_m]Zaydon[/name_m]
[name_m]Jason[/name_m]
[name_m]Chasen[/name_m]
Kyden
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] or [name_m]Lukas[/name_m]
[name_m]Zadon[/name_m] : although i like [name_m]Zade[/name_m] , this name reminds me j’adore .
[name_m]Jason[/name_m] : feels dated & for me its always assosiated with the horror movie lol .
Kyden : I just dislike all the names end in - den except [name_u]Aiden[/name_u] .
The others :
[name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] : such a cool name .
[name_m]Rockwell[/name_m] : it sounds as a name of a rock star .
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m] : [name_f]Love[/name_f] it although i prefer [name_m]Greyson[/name_m] spelling .
[name_m]Chasen[/name_m] : love it espessially nn [name_u]Chase[/name_u] .
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] : [name_f]Love[/name_f] it ! it goes perfect with [name_u]Parker[/name_u] .
[name_u]Logan[/name_u] : Like it .
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] or [name_m]Lukas[/name_m] : I prefer [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] but i dont know if it goes well with [name_u]Parker[/name_u] . Its more popular than the others .
bellerose - Yeah i’m not sure about zadon/zaydon either. i like the sound of it, but i can’t make up my mind if it’s boring, trying too hard or…
I really like the sound and look of jason as well, but i’m concerned that it’s too dated as you pointed out. I’ve been thinking about [name_m]Jacen[/name_m] and [name_m]Jayson[/name_m] as well, but i don’t like them as much.
[name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] - makes me think of the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] character, [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] Shacklebolt, so overall classy and cool.
[name_m]Rockwell[/name_m] - [name_m]Norman[/name_m] [name_m]Rockwell[/name_m] fan? Nice, but if not, sort of insignificant.
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m] - Not bad, but not my favorite.
[name_m]Zadon[/name_m] or [name_m]Zaydon[/name_m] - Really dislike this one, sorry. Not a [name_m]Jacen[/name_m] or [name_m]Jayson[/name_m] fan, either. The original is always classier: choose [name_m]Jason[/name_m], or nix this option.
[name_m]Jason[/name_m] - A tad dated, but has an impressive history.
[name_m]Chasen[/name_m] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_u]Chase[/name_u] is fine.
Kyden - Not my favorite - I like [name_m]Ky[/name_m] (though I prefer [name_u]Kai[/name_u] spelling), and various -den names, but not together.
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u] - Okay, but only makes me think of the ugly river.
[name_u]Logan[/name_u] - Used too much for girls lately.
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] or [name_m]Lukas[/name_m] - Like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] a lot.
My top five: [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_m]Jason[/name_m], [name_m]Rockwell[/name_m], [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m].
Thanks i think i [name_m]Will[/name_m] remove zadon from my list and maybe [name_m]Jason[/name_m].
[name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] is after the HP character.might remove rockwell too, not a [name_m]Norman[/name_m] rockwell fan!
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m] is nice although is sounds a bit too much like “[name_f]Grace[/name_f]” to use on a boy. And I like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] a lot! The others I don’t really care for.
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_m]Grayson[/name_m]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] (this one is my favorite!)
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_u]Logan[/name_u]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] may be a tad heavy on the c/k sound with [name_u]Parker[/name_u], but it’s still a lovely name none the less!
My favorites from your list are:
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]
[name_m]Kingsley[/name_m]- makes me think 1) of [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Stefani[/name_f] (I know her son’s name is [name_m]Kingston[/name_m] not [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m]) and 2) of [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]
[name_m]Rockwell[/name_m]- nms
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m]- meh. no feelings either way.
[name_m]Zadon[/name_m] or [name_m]Zaydon[/name_m]- really not my style
[name_m]Jason[/name_m]- meh. ordinary.
[name_m]Chasen[/name_m]- nms. I’d prefer [name_u]Chase[/name_u].
Kyden- very not my style.
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]- cute, but always makes me think of [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_u]Hudson[/name_u].
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]- like it
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] or [name_m]Lukas[/name_m]- love lucas
The only name on your list that I like is [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]. [name_u]Logan[/name_u] and [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] aren’t bad. [name_m]Jason[/name_m] is hopelessly dated, and [name_m]Zaydon[/name_m] will be dated in a year or two once the -aden trend is over. Kyden and [name_m]Chasen[/name_m] sound like made-up syllable mish-mash names. [name_m]Kyler[/name_m] and [name_u]Chase[/name_u] are vastly preferable. [name_m]Rockwell[/name_m] sounds like the name of a business or legal firm, stuffy and so aggressively masculine it’s silly. [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] and [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] are, well, trendy, but if that’s not an issue for you, at least they’re real names and go well with [name_u]Parker[/name_u].
[name_m]Kingsley[/name_m], [name_m]Grayson[/name_m], [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] are my favorites from your list, in that order. Any of those would be great with [name_u]Parker[/name_u] in my opinion, but I especially love the HP connection between [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] and [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]. ([name_u]Logan[/name_u] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] are fine too, I just don’t think they fit as well). Good luck! =]
[name_m]Kingsley[/name_m], [name_m]Grayson[/name_m], and [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] are my favorite three, in that order. Any of them would sound great next to [name_u]Parker[/name_u] if you ask me. ([name_u]Logan[/name_u] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] are nice too, I just don’t think they fit as well). However, I do especially love the HP connection between [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] and [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] so that would get my overall favorite vote. Good luck! =]
[name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] and [name_u]Hudson[/name_u] both pop out to me. And if you go with [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m], the subtle link to your daughter’s moniker will be sweet.
[name_m]Kingsley[/name_m] - not a fan, I just can’t picture it on an older guy.
[name_m]Rockwell[/name_m]- I actually kind of like this one. Not my style but I think it would be cool to meet a guy named [name_m]Rockwell[/name_m].
[name_m]Grayson[/name_m]- it’s okay, I prefer [name_u]Gray[/name_u].
[name_m]Zadon[/name_m] or [name_m]Zaydon[/name_m]- this sounds made up to me. I would take this one off.
[name_m]Jason[/name_m]- despite the negative reviews for this name, I don’t think it’s dated at all. It’s one of my favorite boy names and I think it’s totally usable. It has great history which is a bonus.
[name_m]Chasen[/name_m]- sounds kind of made up, prefer [name_u]Chase[/name_u].
Kyden- is this pronounced like [name_u]Kai[/name_u]? Looks made up, I would take this off too.
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]- this one is not my style at all. I don’t hate it, but I much prefer some of your other names.
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]- I love [name_u]Logan[/name_u]. I wish it wasn’t so popular. I think it sounds great with [name_u]Parker[/name_u]. It would be a good choice
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] or [name_m]Lukas[/name_m]- I like this one too. I like how it is distinctly masculine because your daughter has a unisex name.
You have a great list! I hope that helped. Congrats and good luck!
The n ending is really common. Favorites are [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Rockwell[/name_m], [name_m]Kingsley[/name_m], and [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]. Strongly dislike [name_m]Grayson[/name_m] (don’t understand the appeal of this highly trendy name) and Kydon (sounds like a smush of all trendy things: K names, y names (can’t stand [name_m]Ky[/name_m] together, especially on a boy) and n ending…plus is it even a real name with any meaning?
