We are having a VERY hard time finding any boys names we love.
Our first sons name is [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Lars[/name_m] that was my top name and i had to convince my husband to name him that (won it over with his nickname being [name_m]Link[/name_m] after his fav video game lol)
We have not agreed on any names all we know is the middle name will be either [name_m]John[/name_m] or [name_m]Robert[/name_m]. He likes the name [name_m]Nash[/name_m] and i’m really iffy on it.
I’ve read so many forums on here for suggestions but nothing has grabbed me and any i suggest the hubs turns it down right away ugh sooooooo frustrating
[name_m]Nestor[/name_m] nicknamed [name_m]Nash[/name_m]?
Your boyfriend seems to like short, modern sounding names so the best solution would be to find longer names with nicknames like that
Examples: [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] (pronounced [name_m]LOCK[/name_m]-leen) - [name_u]Loki[/name_u]/[name_m]Locke[/name_m], [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] - Dare, [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] - [name_m]Cy[/name_m], [name_m]Castor[/name_m] and [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] - [name_u]Cass[/name_u], [name_m]Callahan[/name_m] - [name_u]Cal[/name_u], [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]/ [name_u]Van[/name_u], [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] - [name_u]Dash[/name_u], [name_m]Finnian[/name_m] and [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] - [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Haakon[/name_m] - [name_m]Hawk[/name_m], [name_m]Lucien[/name_m] and [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] - [name_m]Luke[/name_m], [name_m]Mathias[/name_m] - [name_u]Mat[/name_u], [name_m]Nicasio[/name_m] - [name_u]Nic[/name_u]/[name_m]Cas[/name_m]/Nio/[name_u]Nico[/name_u], [name_m]Percival[/name_m] - [name_u]Percy[/name_u], [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_m]Willem[/name_m] - [name_m]Will[/name_m], [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] - [name_m]Wes[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] gets my vote!
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] are cute together.
Or
[name_m]Rhodes[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m], [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] and [name_m]Rhodes[/name_m]
Or
[name_m]Nilson[/name_m]/[name_m]Nelson[/name_m] [name_m]Nash[/name_m] - [name_m]Nils[/name_m] is kind of a cute nn that matches [name_m]Lars[/name_m], while [name_m]Nelson[/name_m] (as in [name_m]Mandela[/name_m]) and [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] make quite a legendary pair!
Ps - when talking to your hubby tell him WHY you like certain names - people they would honor and what you like about those people; places it reminds you of; positive word associations, etc…If I just mention a name to my husband he will say no, immediately, especially if it’s a name he’s never heard/considered before. But after I tell him about the name and why I like it he almost always changes his mind and agrees with me. Good luck!
Also - the reason boys’ names are so hard is because all their names keep being used on girls…waah!

that’s good advice, that’s how i won him over with lincoln. right now i’m just naming off names to him. as of right now my favourite is [name_u]Easton[/name_u] but he associates it with a direction :-? so i’ll have to some how win him over with that lol
