WDYT of this boy's name?

TanyaRenee

We have our girl's name (allison iola), and a potential boy's name (Kyle Fredrich), but aren't as set on the boy's. So we were started searching the books last night and came across one that made us pause and consider it.

Van

I really can't decide if I like it or not... the thing is, my maiden name is a two word last name - Van 'Otherword', and with that last name, I never thought it could be incorporated into my children's names as a middle name or anything, so this would be kinda neat in that sense.

It's unique, but I don't think it's "youneek" or whatever, it's a vehicle, but we also knew of one or two guys in highschool with that name and it wasn't that strange. So what do you think?

I'm not a big fan of Kyle but I definitely like it better than Van. And if you did Van Fredrich he would sound like a German vampire.

I agree

Also when I think of Van I think of the guy on the "REBA" show

I actually no a van who goes around saying "Van the man is here" and yeah - it killed the name for me

What about Donovan with the nn Van? Van alone sounds incomplete to me.

 haha, Yeah, I don't think we would go with Fredrich as the middle name if we were to go with Van. It would be hard to come up with a smooth middle name... especially since I'm used to my maiden name!

Have you thought about Vaughn instead?

DH has a very good friend named Van. He's a total teddy bear, a southern gentleman and a sweetheart, so I love the name.

Yes, a mn might be difficult but I think 2 syllables would flow the smoothest. I can see where you'd be used to your maiden name! I say go with Kyle Fredrich. But I also like the suggestion of Vaughn.

This is what I was thinking. You have to have the right last name to pull off Van without it just sounding like part of the LN.

How about  Kyle Van ....  and he can go by Van as a cool nickname.  I really like the name.

FutureMrs.Steen

I love Kyle. I really dislike Van. I didn't know that was a real full name.

MissFreo

I like Vance, Vaughn, Vince, or Donovan better.  If someone introduced their baby as "Van" I'd probably say "what?" in response.

Love it! (Kyle, not as much)
