Team Green BOY names - poll

RSB1982

Hi everyone. Due in December and team GREEN! I would love your thoughts on the below boy name combos. The husband and I like mostly traditional names. James and Lee are both family names so thats why you see those names repeat so often. Our last name starts with a B and has three syllables. Thanks in advance! I also welcome other suggestions not on the list!

I voted for James Alden because I thought it sounded nice (I would assume it's also a family name since it's surname derived?) but didn't care for Alden in the first name spot. Evan James is also really nice.

@wassuphoes Alden isn't a family name actually.  We grew up with someone with this name and I've never met another Alden.  Its also the name of a brand of shoes that my husband happens to like, haha.

Ha. I uh, maybe wouldn't mention that if you go with Alden.

I voted Benjamin. Love that name and the nn Ben. I would change my vote to Wyatt or James if you went with Bennett.

@wassuphoes HA!  I know right?  I also just remembered its the last name of the children in the Boxcar Children books series.  I used to love those books as a kid.  I would probably let that be my child's namesake.

Evan James is an awesome name but I know a few people that have it so I didn't vote for it since it just seems way too popular. I LOVE the name Benjamin so I went for that. I like all of them except Alden for a FN.

I like Benjamin Wyatt actually.

l would 110% vote for Benjamin Lee were it not for your last name also starting with B and having three syllables. That makes me a little uncertain of how it sounds with your last name, so my second choice is Henry James.

i'm partial to Henry it's on my name list too but with a close friend having a LO named that it. If you really like i would talk with the friend 1st maybe and get their feeling on it but honestly there are so many good names that if you aren't dead set on it i would cross it off.

I love Evan. It's a classic, but not overused like so many other boys classic names. James would be my 2nd choice.

Evan James or James Alden 

All names are nice, I picked these for the simple fact they are less popular. (At least where I am)

I voted Henry James because that is my all time favorite. My son will be Henry Lee, though. James flowed terribly with the last name

Besides that, Benjamin Lee would be my next choice.

This was on my short boy list until I realized it was the character Ben's full name on parks and rec. which isn't a bad thing, I love his character and the show.. probably subconsciously why it was on my list, lol.

Every Evan who I grew up with was a jerk. I shouldn't blame the name, but I do.

Anyway, good luck! So fun being Team Green!!

I voted for Alden James. Alden is one of my favorite names, but it's too matchy with my last name to use.

Thanks everyone, this was really helpful!  I'll be back with a girl poll as soon as I can finalize a list.  Team Green is so exciting!

Evan James. It's a great, strong name!!
