What Would YOU Name Him?

[isavan]

[name_f]My[/name_f] BF and I are welcoming our first baby and I’m hoping to get some help on boy names–we’re absolutely clueless!

Other than the fact that we are using [name_m]Edward[/name_m] as a middle name (it’s a family name) we have NO idea about anything dealing with boy names :???:

So my question is, if YOU were having a boy (with the middle name [name_m]Edward[/name_m]), what would you name him? (last name ends with Y, so we’d like to avoid names ending in the same sound)

***Last minute edit! I did a girl thread like this too…I found a picture of what I think a son of my BF’s and I would look like if that helps at all (sorry, it’s not the best picture)

Most out of my favorite names go well with [name_m]Edward[/name_m] so answering your question I’d name my child

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

Not sure if they are your style, though. If you told us some of your favorites (these that you can’t use or girl names), I think I could suggest names that you may like.

Felix Edward

Theodore Edward
Silas Edward

Reuben Edward
James Edward

We aren’t having any luck in the girl department either LOL (I have a thread up about it currently)…but names for girls that I like (but can’t use) are ones like [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], etc.

I like [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] but with almost all of them, they sound SUPER pretentious with my BF’s last name (his last name sounds “wealthy” as we’ve been told) so I’m not totally sure on them :???:

[rkrd]

I’d prob’ly embrace the pretensiousness–
[name_m]Clive[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
Ariston [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Cabot[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Zenon[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
or perhaps less pretentious…[name_m]Joshua[/name_m], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Boyer[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] or [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]?

Whereas you would embrace it, I want to avoid it LOL! I do like [name_m]Asher[/name_m] and [name_m]Liam[/name_m] though!

Hmmm… I will give it a shot. [name_m]How[/name_m] about

[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Wes[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Alec[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

And I think [name_m]Liam[/name_m] would work too.

[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Levi[/name_m] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] (and [name_m]Liam[/name_m] too)!

[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Maverick[/name_m]! I think [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] is super cool too but it reminds me of [name_f]Miley[/name_f] [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] right away

[polina]

So you need a simpler sounding name… The following names feel simple and laid back to me.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

Classics most likely won’t sound pretentious either.

[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Mark[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

Leo Edward

Arlo Edward
Hugo Edward

Charles Edward

Julian Edward
Simon Edward
Thomas Edward
Walter Edward
Peter Edward
Louis Edward
Mark Edward
Benjamin Edward
Christopher Edward
Daniel Edward
Arthur Edward
Frederick Edward
George Edward

With the exception of [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], I really like every single one of your simple/laid back suggestions! I also like [name_m]Charles[/name_m] because I think [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] is super cute but [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] sounds silly with my BF’s last name

[name_m]Ben[/name_m]
[name_m]Dex[/name_m]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m] (If you don’t mind the same initial with middle name.)
[name_m]Beau[/name_m]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_u]Ash[/name_u]

I’m glad I’ve helped a bit.
