Baby Names

Cannot decide on a boy's name...

We cannot decide on a potential boy name! I have a while, but I feel so incomplete without a boy's name picked out. We are team green, so I want to have it decided before I go into labor.

Originally I liked Gregory, in honor of my dad. However, my SIL told us flat out that it is a horrible name, and she hopes its a girl because of that. So, that made me reconsider. We also like the idea of doing an L name, since our girl name picked out is an L and then if we eventually have a boy and a girl, they would be the same letter.

So, our ideas thus far are Luka and Lincoln. Opinions? For a middle name James, Carson, Carter, Oliver, Noah or Gregory...

Anyone have any unique L names for boys?

    What about Lucas? Luke? Levi. Linus. Landon. Liam. Logan. Lewis.

  • I love Luca, with the C spelling. It was in our top two boy names list last time.

  • Your SIL is an ass.  Gregory is wonderful.  Don't let opinion of one loudmouth asshole ruin the name for you.  Do NOT tell her any more of your names.  Also, remind her that she will have a chance to name her own children.  This baby is YOURS and YOU and your DH are should pick what YOU like, not what anyone else likes.


    I dislike the idea of matchy names (both being L names).  Although, I do like Luke as opposed to Luka.  I'm not a fan of Lincoln - very last name to me.

    Other ideas:  Lucas, Levi, Logan.

    Of your middle names, I can't even tell you how much I love James.
    All of this!

  • Your SIL is both rude and wrong.  Gregory is a wonderful name.

  • I love Gregory. And I prefer Lucas (or Luca with a C.) way more than Lincoln.

  • I'd say forget your SIL. If you & your husband like the name go with it. When my sister was pregnant they had a boy name & a girl name picked out & I wasn't a fan on the boy name ( Oscar ). I kept my mouth shut because if i ended up with a nephew named Oscar i knew id still love him to pieces. I did however get a niece but its not aunties choice its yours!! Follow your heart :) good luck!!!Lilypie Maternity tickers
  • Gregory James or Gregory Oliver are both great names. I don't love the NN Greg but I like Gregory and your SIL doesn't know what she is talking about.

    I would stay away from single first initial sibsets.
