Help me filter through these names!

HarperM

Okay so I don't care if you DON'T like the name, I just want different opinions between the names listed below-which you like the best out of this, which you think would be more popular, any little tidbit on what your pick would be, we're going to pick one of them, so maybe by hearing other's opinions it will help filter through the one we pick! Thanks in advance ladies!

Ty

Cort 

Luke

Van

Kane

Nate

Lane 

Mrs.Hizzo

Ty - too 80's

Cort - I like this but when I polled people about it couple years ago, everyone hated it. I figured they knew something I didn't.

Luke - Like

Van - my FIL's name. Will always be a sort of older rural sounding name to me.

Kane - horrible

Nate - Like

Lane - I think this is too feminine for a boy.

Temp984666312503071

Ty - A cute nickname but not a good stand alone name.  I would prefer Tyson or Tyler (or whatever) and "Ty" as a nn.

Cort - Sounds red-necky to me.  Sorry. 

Luke - LOVE

Van - Meh.  Another nick-namey sounding name.

Kane - NO.  For a million reasons (not all Biblical).

Nate - Eh... I love Nathan (nn Nate).  But again, you seem to love very short, not quite "finished" names.

Lane - Okay.

Of your names at face value I would pick Luke hands down.  If Nate = Nathan I would say that would be a top contender too. 

My least faves are Kane and Cort.

Ty- I think it's perfectly fine as a stand alone name.  I really hate Tyler and Tyson.  Wasn't Tyler on the freakonomics list of names frequently chosen by very poor people?

Cort- Love this name, very classy

Luke- it's fine, nothing special

Van- This name is fine, but it reminds me of that character on that Reba show. kind of an obscure reference though!

Kane- this name looks very trendy in a bad way.  it reminds me of names like kayden

Nate- I prefer this as a nickname for nathan

Lane- this looks like a girls name. I have only ever known girls named lane

Charlie'sAngel2009

1. Luke (Love)

2. Nate (Like, prefer as a nickname for Nathan)

3. Ty (Like, prefer as a nickname for Tyler)

4. Kane (ok)

Dislike: Lane (sounds like a girl name to me, female character on the Gilmore Girls), Cort (sounds like a girl name, like it's short for Courtney), Van (sounds like a vehicle)

Ty- It's fine.  Not a huge fan, but I don't dislike it.  I prefer it as a standalone name, as I hate Tyler and Tyson with a passion.

Cort- Strongly dislike.  VERY 1980's soap opera to me.

Luke- Great.  Best of the bunch by far.

Van- Like Ty, it's fine.  Don't love, don't hate.

Kane- this name looks very trendy in a bad way.  it reminds me of names like kayden.  (I copied that comment from a PP, but I 100% agree)

Nate- Not a fan.  It's a classic, strong name (as a nn for Nathan) but I've never liked it for some reason.

Lane-  Very feminine

carrotcake06

Ty - all I think is Ty Pennington.  ew.

Cort - like Courtney?

Luke - I love this name, but it's verrrry popular

Van - a name of a former student who was a little terror

Kane - just can't get behind this one

Nate - love it

Lane - it's okay.

AnneShirleyBlythe

I actually like the name Van. I always have. 

 

Not a fan of Cort at all. Gynecort, cortisone, all I think of is itch. Even the name Cortney does this for me when spelled that way, instead of Courtney.  

Ceridwen21

The only ones on your list I like are Luke and Nate.

ames71

Ty, Cort, Nate - all look like nicknames.

Luke - best of the bunch. Love Luke!

Van - Not terrible.

Kane - Just looks like a misspelling of the first murderer in the Bible.

Lane - Too wussy for a guy. 

elle80

I tend to prefer using full names.  I really like Tyler (Ty) and Luke.  I don't mind Nate, but I'd probably go with Nathan as the full name. 

I can honestly say the rest are just NMS.  I've never heard of Cort- I can only think of Courtney (girl). 

KatjaJoy

Ty - I like it.  Sounds like a cowboy's name.

Cort - Nickname for Courtney to me, so nms

Luke - Love

Van - Totally love this but I wouldn't use it.  You have to have a really good last name for this to work.   

Kane - Not a fan of the spelling, but I don't mind Cain

Nate - Love

Lane - A little too preppy for me, but not bad.

shopgirl_07

Ty- it's fine, I find it a little boring

Cort- I like this name

Luke- Like

Van- Dislike

Kane- eh, I don't mind the name but not a fan of K names for boys

Nate- really, really dislike Nate, especially for a standalone name

Lane- it's ok but I agree that it's a little girly

skittleblu

Ty - dislike, makes me think ty-rone-shoelaces

Cort - dislike, makes me think girl courtney

Luke - love

Van - really like

Kane - evil, cain and abel

Nate - cute

Lane - too sissy for a boy

HarperM

Thanks everyone! Appreciate the feedback, even if you didn't love them! And some of you made some great points!

sunnyday016

I like Luke, Nate (as a nn for Nathan, not as a stand-alone name), and Lane. Strongly dislike Kane (too close to Cain-the first murderer).

braveangel2

Ty - don't care for on it's own. I know one, and it's a chopped name to me. Too short to be a stand alone.

Cort - don't care for on it's own or as part of the full name, Cortland. Sounds like the words, cork and court. That said, it's probably one of my favorites of your options.

Luke - LOVE - this is my favorite. Not only does it have excellent connotations, but it doesn't seem like it's missing something.

Van - Meh...this was a part of my maiden name, so I don't see it as a first name so much...just seems odd to me. That said, I like it much better than Kane.

Kane - my least favorite: I hate trendy Ks, despite this being a real name....it looks like a trendy spelling.

Nate - s'okay....sort of a middle ground between being too nick name-y and being a full name on it's own.

Lane - like

CourtneyRDH

I love, love, love Luke. It's one of my favorite boy names. My cousin is due at the end of Nov and she's naming her son Ty.

HarperM:

Ty - sounds liks a NN

Cort - a lil too "out there". I like different names but this one sounds made up.

Luke - again, sounds like a NN (Lucas)

Van - reminds me of Ryan Reynolds. Did he play a character named Van?

Kane - LOVE THIS! It's different and sounds very strong and masculine. That might have a lil something to do with the WWE wrestler named Kane though.

Nate - Will always remind me of the guy on Oprah

Lane - Sounds too much like the girls name Laney

Ritzy19

HarperM:

Ty - This probably sounds absurd, but this name just seems like it would belong to a total "tool" of a guy, like a meathead or something.

Cort - Same as Ty

Luke - Classic, good choice

Van - Same as Ty

Kane - strong name, seems a bit out of the ordinary in a good way

Nate - Classic, good choice

Lane - I see this more as a middle name.  It seems somewhat feminine to me though.

I like Luke.
