help with baby names

LaBellaVida

I know we've got plenty of time still to name the baby, but wanted to get some feed back on these names. Plus, polls are fun.

My other kids names are Andrew, Connor, and Owen. Babies middle name is Wyatt.

I'm obviously biased and love Graham! We like that we named him that because it "fits" with all the popular boy names now but we don't know any other Grahams. We thought Arlo would be the odd one, and wouldn't you know it we know 3 Arlos and no other Grahams. (I guess that's what you get for being friends with mostly hippies and artists?)

I voted Graham.

I like Oliver but you already have an O name (not that that should be a determining factor, per say).

As far as "other names" go, it's a shame you have a C name because I really like Carson Wyatt, what about:

Nolan Wyatt

Blake Wyatt

Henry Wyatt

I was going to suggest Nolan too. Love that name.

I love that name!! And it would go so good with our last name...stupid husbands having a say...

It's funny was said that about Oliver because I love that name too and it's been on our lists but as soon as I saw Owen I ruled it out because I like being able to use first letters to talk about my kids! That obviously isn't a factor for everyone

I voted Oliver but I also love Nolan.

Oliver is my favorite so far, but kinda hung up on already having an O name. If I had to name him today, I'd name him Oliver though. Husband hasn't said too much about it though, so I'm thinking he may not care for it.

We've already got a Carson in the family, so that's a no go. Nolan is nice but husband nixed it already.

Naming your kids are hard! I feel like I've really gotta think it through, and make sure it fits the baby and it feels right.

I kinda like Gordon, someone told me all guys they knew named Gordon were good looking. I didn't like it with my last name, though, too rhymey for me. But I just googled Gordon Wyatt and apparently it is a character on Bones.

I like them all, but Parker was my favourite.

LaBellaVida

Whenever I think of Gordon, I think is Thomas the train. Lol

riansmommie

I like Preston and love that out new lil guys are gonna have the same middle name

LaBellaVida

@riansmommie Connor and Owens middle name are both Wyatt. It's my husband's middle name, so it's something he wants for this one too. Which I'm fine with because I love it!

WasNotWas

If you are going in the P-name vein (Parker is too uni-sex for my taste and I knew a Preston who ruined the name, so don't let my bias alter your opinion )

Palmer Wyatt?

btw these name polls are endlessly entertaining for me because picking boy names is a bitch and I never have to do it again

That's funny, I like [the name] Thomas too!

As much as I love Oliver the fact that your husband has been quiet about it tells me he doesn't like it. And I say that because every time I brought up the name Oliver to people guys didn't like it but women did. It seems like one of those names that the genders seem conflicted on! Graham was about as "soft and British" of a name I could sell DH on!

LaBellaVida

Well, to be fair he's been pretty quiet on every name except Hunter, only because his mom was one the who thought of it.
(His mom could have suggested any name, and as long as she liked it, he would like it. Years ago I suggested I liked the name Noah. He said no. Then he mentioned it to his mom, and she loved it...... Then so did he.) It's annoying.

He had suggested names that I quickly shot down. Lol. Vince being one of them. No offense to anyone, is just not my style. He's very much into names that everyone has. Tony, Michael, William, ect. Those kind of names are just far too common for me.

He was the same way with Owen, he was quiet on the name until I really pressured him and he said all along he liked the name, just didn't want to tell me.

Eh, will see.

Oliver is my favorite on the list.

I like Oliver and Graham. I also like Wyatt just as a first name.

@xBlueFrogx 's LO gave me an idea...what about Harrison Wyatt?

ASmallWonder

I love Parker but being from New England we could never use it.  A friend did it for her second and her oldest tells people "This is my baby brutha Pahkaaah."

I love Wyatt as a first name too. In fact I wanted to name Owen, Wyatt Alexander.
Then I said my boys names as if I'm calling them. Andrew, Connor, Wyatt. And it was a no go because Connors middle name is Wyatt too, so it was like I was calling him by his first and middle name like he's in trouble.

Since Owens middle name is Wyatt too. ... it's the same thing.
