Baby Names

Boy Name Ideas?

My DH will not even talk about names with me until we know the sex of the baby, and that is far in the future (I am only 5 wks). However, I LOVE thinking of names and it is a source of joy for me to consider what name to give my new baby. I already have a family name picked out for a girl, but am completely lost when it comes to a boy's name. I don't like trendy sounding names or names that are too popular right now, I would love to go with a family name....Knox for example is my DH's great grandfather's name and I really like it, but I don't know where to start on a middle name...Any suggestions? How does Knox sound?

Re: Boy Name Ideas?

  • Knox on its own doesn't appeal to me...then there's the celebrity baby connection (Pitt/Jolie I think), which sucks because I love family names. Normally middle names would be family names, but if you both are on board with Knox, then I'd keep it on the list. But on its own...no, I don't care for it.

  • I'm going to guess that Sara is your DD, so here's some suggestions from Baby Name Wizard

    Knox is slightly trendy IMO, not as much as Maddox, but it does have the Brangelina thing

  • It's a place name (Knox, Missouri) so If the place means something to you then go for it, If not then you're just following the celebrity baby name trend.

  • She said Knox is her husbands great grandfathers name. I don't think she was thinking about celebrity names :)

  • I was not aware that it was a celebrity name, I just heard of it for the first time from my husband's family tree...I will have to reconsider if it is a celebrity baby name- I wouldn't want anyone to think I care about a celebrity enough to copy them :P
