Struggling with boy names

sillenagem

My husband and I are struggling with boy names for our little babe. We aren't finding out the gender until birth, so we're compiling a list of possibilities for both and so far, girls are so much easier! So far the only boy name I can get my husband to contribute is Fenton. Any ideas for middle names and/or other first names that are similar?? We both prefer classic to trendy, if that helps at all. Thanks!!

I've never heard Fenton as a first name before, I do know someone with that last name though

What are your girl names, maybe that would give us ideas style wise

Girls are down to Caroline, Eleanor, and Piper.

I'm confused you mention classic but then Fenton which is a surname/place which very much makes it trendy.

Classic names with maybe a little modern flare

I'd file Fenton under no. If you have an attachment to it and must use it stick it in the middle name spot.

Oliver
Oscar
Theodore
Marcus
Eugene
John
Thomas
Louis
George

I agree, unless there's an attachment to Fenton, I wouldn't use it or put it in the middle name spot. It's not even remotely close to your girls names, which are all great btw.

Leo
Pierce
Holden
Malcolm
Ezra
Milo
Julian
Adrian
Rowan
Luca
Elliott
Niall
Tristan

I LOVE the name Caroline!
As far as boy names, I'm usually okay with surnames but Fenton raises eyebrows for me. Maybe because I live about an hour from Fenton, MO.
How about...

Maxwell (Max)
Andrew (Drew)

What about Finian or Finnigan or Finley or Felix?

I mean, I love collecting Fenton glass too but I wouldn't name my progeny after it.

Caroline and Eleanor are great. I'd ditch Piper.

Piper is not classic, it's uber trendy. Personally I don't see (or hear) the appeal either. Your other choices; Caroline and Eleanor are absolutely classic and much more appealing because they are strong and feminine.

Suggestions for boys

Fredrick

Everett

Christopher

Grant or Graham

Patrick

James

Alexander

Oh I love the Ezra suggestion. Love that name.

I'm also partial to Hudson as a classical / place name.

Fenton would work well in the middle name spot.

Caroline and Eleanor are some of my favorite girls names. Classic and beautiful.

I know a little boy named Fenton that they call Fen. I'm not really a fan. I agree that if you have an attachment to it use it as a surname. Or if you like the nickname use Finn/Finnigan.

Finnick. Finn. Finnegan. Phineas.
Easton. Emerson. Timothy. Trenton.

We just had a boy. Our list included:

Kellen (what we went with)
Lucas (what became his middle name)
Keegan
Landon
Graham
Blake

Nothing too strange, kinda modern without being too popular. Good luck and best wishes!

I live about 10 minutes away from Fenton, Missouri. I do know a Benton - I like that better. He could go by Ben if he wanted to.

My daughter is Caroline - I like all of your girl names. I would add August and Theodore to the list.
