Boy name help

saskysasky member
in 2nd Trimester

I think choosing a name for your child is such a personal choice, I always thought it was odd that people would seek out the opinions of total strangers.  But here I go!

We're having a boy and have a bunch of names in mind, all over the place in style/popularity. Seeking some outside opinions on our ideas, as we keep going back and forth.

MN will be my last name, which is Irish starts with C ends in -ey.  Last name is Italian starts with S ends in -one (sounds like ohnee).

I'd prefer a name that is not overly common/popular, DH doesn't really care about that.  I just don't want one of those names where in a few years it seems like there are a million popping up (Aiden, Jacob, Owen, Jack, etc).

Desmond, Casey, Sam, Cameron, Miles, Xavier, Taylor, Henry, Calvin

    I'm clearly partial to Miles, but am going to pick Sam because it's my second favorite and I can't recommend someone using "our" name. LOL...it seems to have shot up in popularity this year.

    Henry is our boy name, so Yes for that.

    Other than that, I like Calvin and Miles.  The others are NMS.

    I like Casey. Taylor is popular I think. Miles is ok but how about Milo? I love that one.

    I like Calvin (#1) and Xavier. I know about 3-4 Sams, a couple Miles', some girls named Taylor and about 3 Henrys all born within the last 5 years. I'm so paranoid about my baby names, I won't even TELL anyone, for fear they'll spread the word and everyone will take my names (I'm quite aware I'm a totally freak).

    LOVE: Henry, Miles, Xavier

    Like: Sam, Calvin

    NMS: Desmond, Casey, Cameron, Taylor (the last 3 have more feminine connotations to me)

    With your last name, I would avoid names that end in "ee" sound, like Casey and Henry. I do love the name Henry, though (but you may hear it a lot soon).

     

    Of your other choices, I like Desmond, Miles and Xavier. Taylor to me has become a girl's name, and Calvin is an OK name but I don't like the meaning (bald).

    Xavier is my favorite, that's what we're naming our little boy!

    We're likely naming DS Cameron so it is my favorite by far!

    LOVE Milo.  DH didn't like it.  But he was open to the idea of using Milo as a sort of nickname for Miles.

    Boy names seem so much harder than girl names!  We already had a bunch of girl names that we loved.  But most of our boy names we just kinda so-so on.

    Thanks for the input, everyone.
