Please help! Cannot come up with baby boy's name

rmfreeman1

Hi There,

We cannot come up with a name for a little boy-to-be.

Big sis is: Eliza

Can you help with any suggestions?

Last name is pronounced: "Leh-shure"

I made this list on babynames, but am open to anything: https://www.babynames.com/namelist/9828201

Thank you!!

I really like most of the boy names on your list aside from Logan, just nms. My favorites were Dean, Ian, Levi, and Thomas. I also like Frederick.
I'll add Jude, Charles, James, Peter, Benjamin, Ethan, and Bradley.

I think Everett goes great with your last name!!!! It sounds so cool with it!!

So here are some of the names I really like that the hubbub isn't keen on. So they're yours. Treat them well. 

Leo (I realize it's gotten overly popular but it's my best friend's name. It means a lot to me. There is no kinder, gentler person on this earth than him.)

Jack

Titus

Axel

Felix (husbad isn't totally anti-felix and i'm not totally pro-felix. Right now it's sitting in that dangerous no-man's-land where both of us are afraid to pick it up for fear it'll go off like a land mine)

Atlas. Come on. Atlas is a badass name.

Felix is an amazing name! Go get it out of the mine field!

I agree. The only reason i'm not totally for it is because i'm having trouble giving up my pet names that i love - and he hates. I'm walking on eggshells with that name around my husband. I made the mistake of saying one of the names he liked was a "douchebag's name" and now everything i suggest he says "NO." without even thinking, just to be a spiteful bag of hormones.

The fact that he's considering it makes me handle it with extreme caution.

Haha. You're DEFINITELY going down the Felix route. It'll be the last-minute hospital suggestion, because someone thought it was scrapped but wasn't sure, then mentioned it again when everyone was too happy about the new baby to argue. Like Edgar for us (DS's mn)

Elliot. Julian. Henry. Ian. Phillip. Stephen. Donovan. Xavier. Alexander. William. Dean. Quinn. Franklin. Finn.

Thank you everyone SO much for the feedback and suggestions! Just getting back to this now I am not the most savvy/frequent Bump user. This is super helpful! You are all so wonderful to share your suggestions. Time to run everything by the hubby...

Felix is awesome! I have a client who's little boy (around 4yrs) is Felix.  I think that is far enough removed to use the name potentially?!

Elliot we love! But it is our best friends daughter's name. Who is the same age (almost 2) as our daughter and they are besties....we just cant use it! arghh

Asher I love...but I feel like it doesn't work with our last name...too much "shure" sounding w/the first and last!

I am adding many others from your suggestions to our baby name list!

Thomas is meaningful - DH's grandpa and wonderful man who passed away a few years ago....it will probably be used as either first or middle. 

I know many of you liked Everett. (me too!) Now the hubs is thinking it might be too hard/to much of a mouthful to say...he's asking if it's pronounced: "ev-er-ett" or "ev-rett".....thoughts?

Thanks again all!!

A little about me:

@rmfreeman1, it's pronounced Ev-rit.

Love your daughter's name! I like Aaron, Donovan, Dylan, Ezra, Fredrick, Ian, Isaac, Levi, Oliver, or Rhys. Thomas would pair well with all of these names too!

Two more names we came up with are: Luca and Leif.  Any feedback on either?  If you love or hate them I would love to hear it either way

Leif is awesome! Leif Thomas sounds fantastic too.

Luca is a good name too. Am curious if you or your husband are either Italian or Norse (Scandinavian)?, as these two names are very different in origin.

@brita722 He is neither.  Just names we like

Still undecided! But thinking about it at 22 weeks!
