Help Name My Baby Boy! Lemon is Taken!

silverwings72

I trust you ladies. DH and I have agreed to our top names for our baby boy. Please vote which one you like the best. DH's first name is Nicklas, his middle name is James, named after his father. We are also stumped on which to use for middle names so bear with me. Last name rhymes with "Simmer." Thanks for any suggestions and all of your support!

I like Ethan James. My second choice being Caleb James.

Love Ethan James!

I like Oliver James! Oliver is my FAVORITE name for a boy. Mine would be Oliver if DH didn't hate it and if we didn't already have a friend who named their son Oliver.

I like all of the Oliver and Ethan choices

Oliver is too cute! 

And I don't think anyone would feel like you were "stealing" Lemon, if you wanted to work it in some how…

Love Oliver nicklas!!!

@zengal‌ - I was kind of thinking that too. I think that's why we haven't been able to decide on the middle name. So many decisions!

limón (Spanish), citroen (Dutch), limão (Portugese), Zitrone (German)

See, you've got options! I don't think @lizzylu82 would mind if you used a variation....  

I love Oliver James. Traditional and nice. Oli is a super sweet nickname for any age, too. 

Except now I have international lemon envy…  :x

Ethan James! You can use EJ as a super cute NN!

I've always loved the name Oliver so that's the one I picked I think Oliver James sounds better together but either is good! Nice names, lady!!

@Maelara‌ awwww shucks "> thank you !

Ethan is in our top two names! I love Oliver, but that name is taken for us, I picked Oliver James, so cute!

Oliver is one of our potential boy names! We would do Oliver Daniel (I know it's a little clunky) and our other option is Charles Anthony.

But I love the idea of calling a happy baby boy Ollie, so I am not at all objective.

You ladies are making me feel so dang good about our name choices! Thank you for that :x

I really like Caleb James and Oliver James, but all your name choices are good!

mander82

I like Oliver James.

But... Lemon is a girl's name, isn't it? I can't believe you'd even consider it for a boy! Might as well name him Sue.

I like Oliver, but it's way too popular lately for my tastes. I chose Ethan James, but I think the NN "CJ" is super cute if you went with Caleb James. I'm not much help, am I?

ETA: I guess you could name a boy Lemonjello. Close enough to Lemon.

Also love Oliver James - but Oliver Nicklas would be very nice too.  Your kid would be happy to have any of these names, I see why you're having such a hard time choosing!

I like Ethan James and the second would be Oliver James but if you want to go with Nicklas because of your DH I think it goes well too

I voted for Caleb James, but it was not easy to choose, I really liked all the choices- Good luck!

I like all your choices, but Ethan James was my favorite, I like Ethan best as a first name and James goes well with it as a middle name.  Good luck!

I love Ethan James (Ethan was one of my picks with DS and this one, but I can't get DH on board with it for some reason).  Also, you can't really shorten it or find stupid rhymes with it in terms of nicknames which I always think about.  EJ sounds fine if you wanted a nickname.

I like Oliver James too, but I'd be afraid of the nickname Oli for short of even worse - OJ for Oliver James.

BrittG13

You can't go wrong with any of these but I voted Ethan James. It's got such a nice ring to it and EJ makes such a great nn.

Alid86

Ethan James or Oliver James gets my vote for sure!

howin23

Wow, I actually like all of these! I'm partial to James for the middle name because it sounds so strong (or many I've just seen too many James Bond movies...).

I picked Oliver James as my top choice. Whereas I agree that I wouldn't want my kid called OJ, I think you can avoid that by choosing your own nickname (I love Ollie). If it's bullies at school, well, every name is going to have some bad nickname so I just wouldn't worry about it

Good luck choosing!

Love Caleb James!!

I like the way the As sound in Caleb James
