Name my unborn child ;) Go!

We found out last week we are expecting a baby boy! He will join big sisters Elizabeth Grace (Ellie) and Abigail Jane (Abby). I think boys names are tougher than girls names and DH and I keep throwing around the same 2 or 3. 

Our criteria is/remains when you hear the name you don't know if the person is 1 or 100. I guess our name style would be timeless/classic?

 Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Re: Name my unborn child ;) Go!

  • I have no idea why, but the first name to pop in my head was Christopher James.

  • Mine are: Jacob Michael (DS1's), Colin Dean (ds2)

    maybe Christopher Dean, it sounds good with your other two.

  • henry, jack, christopher, thomas, patrick, matthew, ethan, james, andrew, brendan, nicholas

  • We have similar naming styles.  My son's name is Benjamin, which I think would work and would have a nickname like your girls' names.  I also like Charles (Charlie), Theodore (Teddy), and Thomas.
  • Another vote for Charles. Or Jack, Edward, William, Christian....

  • Loving all the suggestions! I think sometimes you need fresh perspective. Many of these are among our top contenders.

    Right now our frontrunner is Owen Daniel - which I don't believe has been suggested yet for me ;)  We also really like William, Henry, Michael and Benjamin.

    Keep em' coming ladies! ;)

  • We have a Benjamin Thomas( DS1), and Jacob Daniel (DS2), we also like Christopher ( DH's name), and Henry
  • There is a girl named Ellie in DD's class and her little sister is Abby.  Scary!!

    of those I like Benjamin, and I know my opinion is totally crucial so that's why I'm giving it. ;)

  • Ian and Max are both pretty timeless :)

  • Elliot and Oliver popped into my heads right away. 

    If we were going to have a boy, we would have had a Kia Lucas or an Isaac Jhames.

    But we got a Penelope Mae :]

  • We also have an Elizabeth (Ellie)! Ours are Elizabeth Erin and Charles Edward (Charlie). Feel free to "steal" my DS's name since it's pretty much the epitome of "classic male" names :) I also really love James Henry.

  • Names we liked:

    Miles

    Micah

    Andrew (Drew)

    Henry (would have been DD's name if she were a boy)

    Oliver

  • Apparently, I like last names as first names. I wanted to name ds Anderson. Others that made my list were Bennett, Keaton and....I can't remember the rest because dh was totally set on naming his son Sean before we even conceived so I knew I didn't really have a shot.

  • If I were to ever have another boy I would want to name him Henry!

  • Our boy names were Kai or Kade....probably not your taste from what you describe.

  • My youngest is Thomas Henry, which I think goes really well with your girls' names.  He was almost a William Henry, but we changed our minds at the last minute.

  • Drew!

  • I have an Elizabeth Grace! Her brother is Paul Jason. He was going to be Ethan Daniel. I'm drawing a blank now on boys names!

     

  • We have a Ryan Thomas and Caleb James, but we almost named DS2 Owen. I love Henry but DH wouldn't go for it, I also love Benjamin. Other names we kicked around were Mason, Luke, Nathan, Jack, and Blake. Good luck picking one!

  • I have an Abigail Jane that we call Abby!  I LOVE Elizabeth Grace.  It sounds like we have similar naming styles for sure! 

    For boys I really like Micah, Samuel, Luke, Caleb, Matthew and William.

    my read shelf:
    Jessica's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • The top boy names on our list were Alex and Jake.  My cousins who son is 3 weeks older than my younger DD ended up naming their son Jacob (goes by Jake) Henry and I totally love it (and yes, they did call me to ask if we were using the name Jake since our kids are so close in age which I thought was the coolest thing that they thought to do that since we had never discussed names with them).

    Other boy names in my family that I really like are:

    Scott Jacob

    Daniel Ryan

    Maxwell (goes by Max) Ethan

  • I love "Charlie" (Charles), "Drew" (Andrew), Alexander, Max, Matthew, and if I ever have another child (which I won't) and it's a boy he will be named Jude.

  • I would suggest Vincent or Owen.  Stick out tongue I think they are both timeless/classic and not trendy.

    Congrats on the boy!!

  • Oliver.

    Then you'd have an Abby, Ellie and Ollie!

  • If we had a boy, his name was going to be Liam Henry.
