Baby names

aicila717

we are expecting in July we are between the names Jaxon Charles or Meyer (Myer) Charles any feedback we are also willing to take new name suggestions!!! We want something a lil different but not too crazy w the middle name Charles or michael

catahoulatte

Well not Jaxon. Is Myer a family name or something? It is a pretty common last name so it's a little odd to use it if it has no signifigance. I'd assume without knowing you that it was your maiden name.

Your middle names are great. We probably have very different tastes based on your first name choices but I'll try. Here's what I like with Charles and Michael.

Henry Charles
Judas Michael
Jude Michael
Abram Charles
Bennett Michael
Nathan Charles
Finley Michael

I agree with pp: Jaxon is horrible (Jackson is good), and Meyer is odd unless there is family significance.

Timothy Charles
Philemon Charles
Allen Charles
Dennis Charles
Daniel Charles
Nicholas Charles
Ryan Charles

My vote goes to Charles Michael.

Please do not do Jaxon. Please.

Please not Jaxon. I could maybe get behind Jackson but this juvenile spelling is just trying too hard. And Meyer...are you Jewish, by any chance? I ask because it's a Meir variant which is an old Yiddish/Hebrew name. 

Or are you just trying for the "last name as a first name" trend? 

ALL of this.

Also, if you take into consideration all of the spellings of "Jackson" (Jaxon, Jaxson, Jaxxon) the name was #2 in 2012-- so it's far from a little bit different.

We like Jackson, jaxon, jaxson (spelled however) just the name in general paired w Charles, but now are looking for something else bc we think ppl are assuming it will be Jackson ( we were going to name our other son that) but last minute went w Levi.....Levi Joseph

Do a quick google search on the name Cohen. 

I actually quite like Sutton.  If you like the LN as FN trend, why not consider

Sawyer

Sullivan

Finnegan

Campbell

Collins

Weston

Parker

Walker

Absolutely not Cohen. Ever. 

I don't like Cohen, but what's the back story on why you guys dislike it? I'm pretty clueless on name associations.

I actually kind of like Sutton (on a boy only) for you. Not my style, but it's about 1,000 times better than Jaxon.

@lauralew IDK if this is the usual article posted, but it gives the general reasons why one shouldn't go with Cohen:

Just recapping
-Jaxon is horrible
-Myer/Meyer isn't great either
-Cohen is offensive to an entire population of people
-Sutton actually isn't that bad

Like PPs suggestions of Sullivan, Finnegan and Bennett and adding Reed, Brooks, Kellan, Everett, Owen and Maxwell

lauralew

Thanks, @helenahhandbasket @catahoulamom and @mauibliss  That is definitely a good reason to avoid the name.

Thanks everyone

Bryce, Liam, Greyson.

I agree with PP re: Jaxon. Very trendy and quite common. Meyer is NMS.

Sutton isn't too bad and pairs well with your middle names. I like Bryce too.

Liam is very popular currently and Greyson is a bit trendy too so may not fit with your criteria of something a little different. 

Other suggestions that may fit your style:

Davis

Callum

Perry

Anderson

Carter

Parker

Reid

Cooper

nittanyllama

I strongly dislike Jaxon and Meyer and as stated above you should avoid Cohen.

I'm suggesting/endorsing Davis, Reid, Cooper, Carter, Elliott, Bennett, Dawson, Finn, Griffin, Jonah, Oscar, Sullivan.

Are you asking about these? Liam is very popular, Greyson is very trendy. I like Bryce.

Hate Jaxon or any form of that name. It's so overdone. Charles is an awesome name and the name I'd suggest you consider as a first name.

blu-eyedwife

Not Jaxon. 

I can actually kind of get behind Meyer, but it does immediately make me think of Meyer Lansky, which may not be an association you want for your child.

Out of them I like Sutton the best.
How about Harrison?

aicila717

We have a Harrison in the family

I do actually like all of them that were listed but eliott and Oscar....I just gotta get some to rub off on the hub haha
