Boys name: Clicky!

eastlyn_w

Ok let me start by saying that my husband and I are both teachers, so naming baby is quite tricky. We both like Oliver, but I'm a bit worried its too popular. Which name do you like best? MN will be either Jeffrey or Lyle after my dad. Feel free to comment FN/MN combinations you like or other names you think might be my style. Thanks [Poll]

Oliver's my favorite but I like Sawyer a lot too.

Oliver is the only one that I like!!

None are really my style, I like Bennett and Sawyer ok. I have never heard of Wren being used for a boy.

I LOVE Edwin, but I doubt it's going to be a big vote getter.  I also like Atticus.  Some of your names sound feminine to me though.

Edwin or Oliver

Ya I know Wren is a popular girls name right now. The only Wren I have ever met in real life (adult) was a male... And there was a Wren (male) on pretty little liars. I have only heard Wren for a girl on TB.  

Hmm... I really don't want a name that you look at and think 'girl' though (as a teacher I find that annoying). Might have to veto that one. 

Thanks!

Which ones do you find feminine? I find girls names really easy and boys names impossible so I am worried about that, haha.

I know wren might be though of as a girl but which other ones?

Arwin maybe? Arwin is only on the list because I also LOVE Edwin, but hate the NN Eddie. I thought at least with Arwin NN could be Ari. Honestly I don't really like Arwin that much but DH does.

The rest are NMS and Cohen can be offesnsive.

Cohen can be offensive? Please, enlighten me. I have no idea what you are talking about  :S

Is it an American thing? I'm Canadian. I googled it and the only thing that came up was Leonard Cohen.

Good to know. TBH Cohen isn't really my fav anyway (The names are in order-ish of my favourites).

Another name vetoed. Thanks
