Boy Names

Howdy! :slight_smile:

I’ve been lurking around this site for awhile and decided I finally needed to join. I have two daughters: [name]Rory[/name] [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Paige[/name] [name]Hughes[/name]. I’m expecting my first son in [name]November[/name] and need some help finding his name.

I would greatly appreciate any input on these names.

  • [name]Seth[/name]
  • [name]Oliver[/name]
  • [name]Gabriel[/name]
  • [name]Aidan[/name]
  • [name]Hayden[/name]
  • [name]Milo[/name]
  • [name]Carson[/name]
  • [name]Lachlan[/name]
  • [name]Jackson[/name]

  • [name]Seth[/name]- Nice, solid classic.
  • [name]Oliver[/name]- Classic but with a twist, kinda like [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Rory[/name]. This one would be perfect.
  • [name]Gabriel[/name]- Nice, what about using it as a mn? [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name] would be nice.
  • [name]Aidan[/name]- Please, name him anything but [name]Aidan[/name]. This name is so overused it is not even funny. There were THREE Aidans in the doctors waiting room the other day, out of a total of 4 kids.
  • [name]Hayden[/name]- Im really sick of all of the -ayden names.
  • [name]Milo[/name]- Cute and spunky just like [name]Oliver[/name]. This would be lovely too.
  • [name]Carson[/name]- Too trendy for me.
  • [name]Lachlan[/name]- Nice choice. Goes perfectly with [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Rory[/name].
  • [name]Jackson[/name]- Again, too trendy. [name]Kinda[/name] clashes with [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Rory[/name] imo.

[name]Oliver[/name], [name]Milo[/name], and [name]Lachlan[/name] are my favorites.

leah_9, I totally agree. [name]Oliver[/name], [name]Milo[/name], and [name]Lachlan[/name] are my favorites too from my original list.

I like your suggestions of [name]Nolan[/name] and [name]Brady[/name].

[name]James[/name] is going to be the mn. It is my dad’s name and this little one is due on his birthday.

  • [name]Seth[/name]: biblical but I knew a weird [name]Seth[/name] once so I can’t use it
  • [name]Oliver[/name]: lovely name, but does remind me of [name]Oliver[/name] & Company
  • [name]Gabriel[/name]: the angel, see also [name]Gabe[/name] (good nn)
  • [name]Aidan[/name]: way over-used
  • [name]Hayden[/name]: there’s a mountain where I’m from called [name]Hayden[/name]. [name]Love[/name].
  • [name]Milo[/name]: love it.
  • [name]Carson[/name]: don’t love it - sorry. No reason.
  • [name]Lachlan[/name]: a gorgeous Irish choice
  • [name]Jackson[/name]: lovely, but don’t use it if you have a /s~n last name like [name]Jensen[/name]

Good list. I’m sure you’ll also come to like a broader base as you read the blog! Here are some I would consider now that 2 years ago I would never have considered:

[name]Leander[/name]
[name]Anders[/name]
[name]Roscoe[/name]
[name]Flynn[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Abner[/name]
[name]Zebediah[/name]
[name]Peder[/name]
[name]Rupert[/name]
[name]Grayson[/name]
[name]Amadeus[/name]

They are not particularly strange, by any means, but just unfamiliar to my environment/location. It’s very fun to discover new names; it’s almost like discovering a new cuisine. Mmm… gotta go make some dahl makhani now…
