JEPES1348

My co-worker named her son Keldon. I'd never heard it before.

The only boy name that we agreed on is Carlin. I'm not sure if we are ever going to need it, but I still like it if we were to have another and it was a boy. 

haileyq

Elias. I like the nickname Eli.

Nvywife

Oliver, this was the boy name we had picked. Ollie is just too adorable of a nickname.

I was just thinking about boy names earlier today.

Here are my current faves, some for first names, some middle, in no particular order...

Tobias, Bennett (ignore this one for your purposes), Pierce, Gabriel, Dean, Elijah (Eli), Nolan, Noah, Graham, Sebastian

Apparently we have similar tastes in boy names @rugbymama. We've used 2 of those names, Tobias was one of my favorites (DH didn't like it), and Noah and Sebastian were on my list as well at some point.

Spencer, Bradford (Brad), William, Zachary (Zack)

I didn't even think about this before I posted, but obviously it's very similar to C's name. Oops.

Sorry i was a post and run lol. We had agreed on Heath Michael and i Love it. I feel like throwing a tantrum bc he's having second thoughts. I also like Elliot and Logan. He likes Ryder and i can't stand it. Sigh

officially offended.

That was my first thought!

What about Hunter Michael?  Too similar to H?

ETA: I really like Heath.  Tell SO that the CD board voted and he's outnumbered.

I don't like sharing name ideas. I'm weird and don't want other people's opinions and I don't want to influence someone's choice and for them to pick a name I like.

As if I own the names I like

nevertune

Heath is great!

Edited to add: my husband really wanted Sherlock, Requiem, or Rhaegar. Very cool names, but I just couldn't get on board.

unaveragejane

@stringy813‌ Isn't Spencer Reid the name of the tall, skinny guy on Crminal Minds? Maybe not. Gonna check.

ETA Hot dang, I was right!

Lol, I only share names I like but for one reason or another wouldn't consider.

i live in the south so Hunter is a very very common name here. I think I'm going to put my foot down about Heath

Too funny! Now if I could only get the chance to use one of them! :-)

But how would it sound with a last name that ends with "man?"

Rrrrrachel

A little rhymey.

How many syllables? Calvin Neumann, for example, sounds closer than say Calvin Zimmerman.

I love Benjamin, but DH says he doesn't like B names (no idea why). Matthew is my brother's name, so that's out for me, and I'm not a fan of Robert. Michael and James are nice, though.

Michael was my dad's name. We called him Mike. That's why i wanted to use it. He said today that he likes Micah!

If you use it be prepared for people to always spell it wrong and tell you what an incredibly unique name it is. At least once/month I have some variation of this conversation: "Micah. That's such a different name. Did you make it up?" "Uh no, it's actually pretty old" "Really? It sounds like trying to modernize the name Michael" "Nope. It's a really old name. Like prophet in the Old Testament old"

This is shocking to me.

People are so stupid.

candlequeen

I think it's a great biblical name. I also feel like it does sound similar to Michael so it's like i get to honor my dad with it too SO's first name is Elijah but he goes by a different name. He suggested Micah Elijah. Might be too many "uh" sounds But i kinda like it

I love the name Micah! We lean toward biblical names as well.

Samuel
Elijah
Levi
Andrew

But really, I think names should be meaningful to the family, so outside input is pointless to me.

I'm all, "you don't know me!"
