Boy names are so hard for me...

katJude

We find out for sure on monday if it's a boy but we are nearly positive it is. Anyway, I'm keeping a list of boy names that I like. From the list you will see that we are clearly going for unusual (but not made up) names. I would love anyone's opinion on these!
Keep in mind that my first child is named Maeve (rhymes with Rave) and her name is a classic Irish name.

Arthur (Irish name)
Tadhg (pronounced like Tiger without the er - a relatively common Irish name)
Linus
Bram (but baby's last name will start with M and I have a problem with B.M. as initials)
Bremen (same problem as above)
Calvin
Wesley (might be too popular for us)
Jude (DH's name - I'm not a fan of naming kids after parents but I really like this name)
Alfred (family name which I love)

Thanks!

Arthur-  love it

Tadhg- too hard for most people to get unless they're Irish

Linus- ok

Bram- don't like.  Makes me think of bran cereal.

Bremen- don't like

Calvin- ok

Wesley- love it

Jude- love it, but I don't think it goes very well with Maeve.

Alfred- just seems too old (and I was okay with Arthur!)

I like Calvin.

I like Calvin, Jude and Wesley. I think you may having problems with those Irish names because no one will know how to pronounce them.

I like Linus and Wesley. I don't think of Wesley as common, at least it isn't in my area... I also like Wes as a nn. I like Jude but like you I like kids to have their own name. I like a ton of other Irish names too but not any others you have listed. I like Colin, Connor, Seamus, Sean, Brennan, Brendan, Declan, Grady, Garrett, Ryan, Brady, Dempsey, Beckett, James, Flynn, Finn and a ton more that I can't think of right now!

Arthur - eh.  NMS, but don't hate it.

Tadhg - I would never use this out of Ireland b/c there's not a chance in hell that someone who isn't Irish is going to pronounce/spell this correctly 

Linus - love

Bram - NMS

Bremen - NMS

Calvin  - love - it was on our boy list

Wesley - like

Jude - love, but I'm not a fan of juniors

Alfred (family name which I love) - same as Arthur

I love Arthur, Jude and Alfred. Wesley is also ok and not at all popular here.

I like Calvin, Wesley,and  Jude

I like Calvin, Wesley, and Jude. I think that Tadhg would get mispronounced 9 out of 10 times for his entire life. The others are nms at all. What about using Jude as a middle name so that he's not a junior?

kittenxkisses

I like Wesley or Jude.

Love the name Linus!  You could change the spelling of Tadhg so it is easier for people to pronounce and spell like Tige, Tigue, Teague, etc...

Linus and Wesley get my vote.

Arthur - nn Art? NMS..too King Arthur for me.

Tadhg - wtf? Sounds way made up and will be impossible to pronounce and difficult to spell

Linus - I like it okay

Bram - Sounds made up, what about Graham?

Bremen - sounds made up

Calvin - and Hobbes?

Wesley - It's okay

Jude - Love this name

Alfred - Too old man-ish
