Baby Names
Can't decide on a boys name...help!
Ok, we are not having any luck with a name for our little guy. Here is our list although there is nothing on it that we absolutly love What are your thoughts? Any other suggestions based on what we like?
Callum or Calum
Garrett
Gavin (I go back and forth on this one)
Kingston (DH just saw this in a baby book this week and added it. Im a little unsure since I dont want to hear "did you name it after Gwen Stefani's son" FYI...DH doesnt think anyone really cares about Gwen Stefani's sons name.
Kellen or Kellan
Our last name sounds like Miller.
Thanks!

Re: Can't decide on a boys name...help!
I love Callum (it was in our top 3 had this one been a boy); I like Gavin and Kingston. I wouldn't worry about the Gwen Stefani association; most people don't give a *** what celebs name their kids!
What do you think of Stellan? Just a suggestion since Kellan was on your list.
Also, some other suggestions--
Cullen, Declan, Harrison, Landon, Mason, Preston, Finn, Griffin.
Good luck!
I love Callum; it would be on our list if it weren't so close to Colin, DS's name.
I don't like Kingston for the reason you mentioned. Ugh--it's just a celeb name. I define that as a name that 90% of people hadn't heard of until a celeb used it. It's also a city in Jamaica, and not a nice one. What about Kingsley? That is my friend's husband's name. He's South African.
Anyway, I like Garrett, too, but slightly prefer Gareth. No one else seems to, though!
I like the PP's suggestions of Cullen, Declan, Harrison and Finn. I would add Colin, Nolan, Simon, Quentin, Owen, Eamon and Ewan to her suggested list.
Callum!!!! Love that name!
This.
I really like Garrett from your list.
Have you thought of Colm? It was the main character in a book I read years ago and I thought it was so different.
Callum- like it
Garrett- love it
Gavin- so-so
Kingston- immediately thought of Gwen Stefani, I doubt she's going to get any less famous anytime soon, I think most people would make that association
Kellen/an- really like, but seems very popular now?
(read it. you know you want to.)

Callum- nice name
Garrett - okay
Gavin- love this name!
Kingston- don't really care for it
Kellan - not loving this one either?
I like your picks-- since you asked for additional names, here are some off the top of my head: Caleb, Kurt, Preston, Brayden
Just go with what feels right! Good luck!
