Baby Names

Need a little help...

Let me start out by saying that I know some people will not like the names on this list and I respect that, but we narrowed down our list to these names because of the special people in our lives that they represent.  I would love it if people could give some constructive opinions on the name combinations.  If the kiddo is anything like his/her big brother, it will be a pale, freckled, blonde haired (hint of red), blue eyed little one :)

Boy choices:

Tyler Benedict

Erick Steven

Benton Benedict

Benton Erick

Gordon Benedict

Gordon Erick


(Any other suggestions that would work with Erick as a middle name or Benedict as a middle name?)

Girl Choices:

Beverly Rae

Helen Rae

Beverly Ann

Thia Jane ( I know this a quite out there... but would it work... please be honest)

(any suggestions of what would fit with Helen?)

 Thank you to all who comment constructively :)

 

 

Re: Need a little help...

  • I like Erick Benedict, I know not one of your choices, but definitely Erick for a fn.

    I like Thia Jane spelled Thea, I don't think it's too out there at all.

     

  • I actually like Thia Jane best of your girl choices!

    Gordon is NMS, but I'm okay with your other choices. Except, I don't like the "Ben- Ben-" of Benton Benedict.

  • I like Tyler Benedict and Erick Steven

    Thea Jane is very pretty, Helen is a classic name, too - you could use almost any mn you wanted to!

  • I really like Benton, but I think I like it with Tyler for a MN.    For the girls I like Beverly Rae.

  • I don't think any of your names are bad. Tyler feels a little dated to me, but I don't mind it. Erick is a nice, strong name, but maybe a little boring for my taste. Benton is okay (I prefer Benjamin or Bennett), but I really like Ben as a nn. Gordon is NMS, but again, not a bad name. Wasn't there a guy on Seseme Street named Gordon? It makes me think of him, for some reason (not that it's a bad association, my mind just goes there.) Because I like Ben, I would probably choose Benton Erick from your list.

    As for your girl names, I love Helen, so Helen Rae is my choice. I actually also really like Thia (though I prefer it spelled Thea, unless there's some significance in the alternate spelling). Beverly is just okay for me. I used to live in a neighborhood called Beverly, so maybe that's why I'm not fond of it on a person. Good luck!

  • Erick Steven (or as a PP suggested Erick Benedict) is the one I like best; and I think Erick fits a a pale, freckled, blonde and blue eyed kid  Big Smile

    Tyler is nice, too; the double Ben in Benton Benedict is too much

    Helen Rae is lovely

    Boy choices:

    Tyler Benedict love

    Erick Steven ehh, nothing wrong with it, it just seems very 80s/90s

    Benton Benedict LOVE the name Benton! But the double Ben- might be strange.

    Benton Erick LOVE the name Benton!

    Gordon Benedict OK - but strongly dislike nn of Gordy or Gordo

    Gordon Erick OK - but strongly dislike nn of Gordy or Gordo

    Girl Choices:

    Beverly Rae nice name

    Helen Rae Favorite! Very sophisticaed and pretty, while down to earth at the same time

    Beverly Ann nice name too.

    Thia Jane Thea would work better.
