Names like Darrin

jasmuin

My dads name is Darrin and if our babe ends up being a boy I would like to name him after my dad. DH doesn't like the name Darrin mm Barney after my grandmas maiden name.
Anyways can you come up with Any names similar enough that it would still be after my dad? I really like Jarron but DH says its just alright.

Jarron isn't a real name. What about just using the D from Darrin? David, Dominic, Desmond, Derek, Daniel, Damian, Dante.

Too lazy to be genuinely helpful, but look up the meaning and try a name with a similar one. Or, trace Darrin back to the root name and use another that came from the original. Eg, my name is Jenny, which is actually a derivative of Gwendolyn, so dd is Gwendolyn. Nobody really knows I named her after myself, but that's how we came to the name.

I personally don't really care if it's considered a "real" name or not...they all had to start somewhere, right?!?

jasmuin

I really like the suggestion of using just the D or finding a different name with the same meaning!! Great ideas ladies!

I know a jarron. That makes it real.

jasmuin

@Baby'smom I googled it and it's a name that's been around for a while.

If it helps, I know several Jaron's. I even graduated high school with one (10 years ago), so that means it has been around for awhile. It's a real name to me!

Behind the name has the variation Darian, or Dylan means "great" same as Derrin

Derek, Darius, Dane. 

I'm not a fan of Jarron, but if you both were, it would be fine. Since he's not on board, I'd try to find something else.

No. Just because you found it on Google doesn't make it real. It looks made up and, frankly, trashy.

But you know, whatever you like. Best of luck.

@fghmama6701 no, just because I found it on google doesn't make it a real name, but finding a lot of people on Google who have had that name for many more years than I have been alive makes it a pretty real name to me.

Jarron was first recorded in 1974. It peaked in 89 and again in 94 with a total of 55 boys. There is no history on the names origin, or meaning. Most likely a misspelling that few people found pleasing.

Darius

If I saw Jarron, I would never assume that it was pronounced like Darrin. 

Why not just pick a name that you both like for the first name, and use Darrin as the middle name?
