Why are boy names so difficult to come up with?

Hannah2016 · September 2009

My husband and I have ONE boy name we just love, but THREE girl names!

I would love some suggestions on some boy names. We like to inculde a Biblical name. We also tend towards old fashioned names but ones that aren't used very often. We also had a miscarriage in May and we named him Jeremiah Miles.

Here's the list so far.

Girl names:

Abigail Bernice

Amelia Ruth

Elizabeth Maret

Boy names:

David Titus (would go by Titus)

I don't have any suggestions, but I agree that boy names are difficult!

I think that they are all so hard to come up with!

You have some beautiful names chosen.

How about Nathaniel?

I think it's funny that you also like the girl's name Maret, because I love that name, too, but I can hardly find any information about it online.

I like all of your girl names. I really dislike Titus.

Lol. It was way easier for us to decide boy names. We have kinda been using our family tree as a name book. Girls have been the tough ones!

I just feel like Titus is a gladiator name or a dog name...I don't know. I'd reconsider that.

I'm sure there are more Biblical and classic names you can think of otherwise.

I love the name Titus. I completely disagree about it being a dog's name. I think it fits in well with the revival of Biblical names that's out there--like Levi, Ezra, Elias, etc., and is not overdone at all.

Also, I know someone named Titus who is just kick-a$$ so that probably has something to do with it.

I also love the name David. Another favorite classic is James.
