Tell me your boy names!
EAN

We are having a hard time with this. So far, I kind of like Andrew, Nicholas and Kyle. You all chose Andrew during my recent poll. DH turns down a lot of what I choose. He tends to like solid name (whatever that means).
So give me your boy name ideas!

Re: Tell me your boy names!
We like:
Cole Adam C. or Ian Taylor C.
Dominic
Joseph
Declan
William (Liam)
Gideon (Just kidding -- but DH has jokingly been calling the baby that for the last few weeks, and it's sort of starting to grow on me).
Our son's name will be "Samuel James Chad" but will be saying his name is "Samuel Bradley Chad" to one of our friends so he thinks he's special!
Samuel, in the Bible, was a little boy who got up in the middle of the night thinking he was being called by Eli, his caretaker. In reality, he was being called by God. Our Samuel already wakes me in the middle of the night. It fits.
James - in the Bible, a book about faith. Also DH's youth pastor's name.
Bradley - my youth pastor's name, he married us. Baby Sam is due near Brad's birthday, so we'll tell him baby's named after him.
Chad - DH's best friend that died a year ago after complications from bariatric surgery. We miss Chad a lot, and want to honor his wife and our memories by naming our son after him.
Our baby is going to be Ethan James. Other names I liked were:
Andrew
Caleb
Landon
Dominic
Devin
I went through the baby book and wrote out all of the names I liked (about 25) and DH went through and crossed through the ones he didn't like. That left us with two names. Good luck!
I have always loved the name Andrew - "Andy". Unfortunately, my old boyfriend is an Andy, so I am not even entertaining that one.
Ok here's my list since my DH already has a name for a boy (if that's what we're having). So I don't get to use any of mine.
Cooper
Garret
Alexander
Gabriel
Samuel
Noah
For boy names, we've narrowed it down to Michael Alexander "Xander". Michael is a family name on both sides (including DH's name), and men in my family tend to go by their middle names.
Names I also loved, which DH vetoed: Charles Christopher, Oliver Joseph, Zachery Lucas.
He's a Joseph. But he'll be the 7th generation of Joseph, so I sort of had to go with it. Middle name is Shunji after his grandfather on DH's mom's side.
Second boy will be Jonathan.
Thomas Jon is our boy's name. I let DH pick out the first name because it meant so much to him, but it started growing on me and now I love it! Jon is also to honor my dad's brother, who passed away.
Our other boy name was Jack Hudson
I like Austin- DH Vetoed
DH liked Travis- I vetoed
We like Trevor (unless I can get him to unveto Austin)
John Leonitis
John is my husband's name that has been passed down 4 generations. Leonitis b/c it's kick ass!
We like the names-
Braden Edward
Shawn Avery
Patrick Edward
and
Wayne Lawrence III
We chose Wyatt Paul N. for our little one. Other top possibilities were Pierson or Alexander. We had a hard time choosing one because our taste is so different. I personally love Andrew.
Our choices were the following with Gerald (DH's father's name) as a middle...
Wesley (Wes)
Tristan?
Parker
Derick
Hayden
Austin?
Ours is Carson Michael. We also had a hard time with the boy name! We like Owen, Landon and Sean as well. I really like Caleb, but DH wasn't a fan. Good luck!
