Baby names. Help.

in 3rd Trimester

We cannot agree on anything. Mostly DH hates anything I come up with. We would like to use Dean as the middle name, it is a family name on both sides, but we do agree that it doesn't go with everything we come up with so it could change.

For the past 3 months we've had a short list of Mason, Lucas and Grady. Lucas being his favorite and Grady being mine. We both don't love Mason, but it's one of very few we are ok with. All of a sudden he says he really wants to name our son Bo. I told him there is no way.. especially with our last name. So now he is ruling out Grady for whatever reason. I know we still have a month left, but I feel like we're never going to agree.

We've also thought about Warren. Which is his grandfathers name who passed away last year. I like the name, just not sure for a baby or child.

So.. I need some more suggestions. I feel like I've exhausted the search. DH likes more traditional names.. while I like a little more trendy/different names. But who knows when it comes down to it. Our last name makes things hard also.. no A names or anything ending in A or AY.

    I like Mason Dean, that sounds good. We are currently having the same issue at my house- down to two names but DH is not open to many names I offer up.

    Has Bowen been vetoed?  It's somewhat trendy right now (atleast in my area) but it could be shortened to Bo.  I don't know- I'm bad at this stuff, but just thought I'd throw it out there ;-)

    I actually like Dean as a first name.  Maybe Dean Warren __?

    I'm not crazy about Grady Dean.  I like Lucas Dean best of the ones you mentioned.  And Bo Dean just sounds - no offense - a little redneck.  I love Bo or Beau, but not with Dean.  We're having a girl, but some of the boy names we liked were Elliott, Wyatt, Maxwell, and Samuel.

    ha! Warren is my babies name. Occassionally I think its too adult and have a hard time calling him that, but since I've been talking to my belly and saying "warren" its growing on me. It is my husband's grandfathers middle name. The other name we strongly considered was Jefferson. P.S I strongly like Dean, don't like Grady or Bo, and love Lucas but I think it might be quite popular right now as I know two baby Lucas's. =)

    well those are all awesome names imo! ha!

    what about Grayson? does he like that?? still has the ... 's' and the 'gray' ... :-? 

    I think all 3 of the names you have on your short list are teh perfect mix of traditional yet not common names!

    While Warren may be more of an adult name...we need to remember that our babies wont be little forever! DH and I are playing with the name Allie, but are worried its too youthful.

    I like both Lucas and Mason with Dean as a MN.

    My solution to when DH's can't jump on board is that Mom gets the final say- seeing as she's the one growing the new person, as well as going through untold hell to get said person into the world. Mom vote trumps Dad vote when it comes down to it.

     

    For the record, I like Lucas and Mason with Dean- Bo Dean is just bad on so many levels- remind him that he's naming a PERSON, not a baby, please! lol

    Also- to add another name to the mix- If ours had been a boy he would have been a Tristian- that goes with Dean too. You can use it ;) If ya want to! lol. (we're DONE after this anyway!)

    I think Mason Dean sounds good together.

    My cousin's name is Robert, but he goes by Beau (pronounced 'Bo').
