I need opinions on Boy Names!!!!

memelou10 · July 2010

Me & DH can't decide on anything. He doesn't like the name I like and I'm not a fan of the names he's picked out! The MN, Cory, has to stay. His life long best friend died a few years ago of cancer so that is in remembrance on him. Here are our choices!

Mason Cory (My favorite)

Micah Cory (His pick)

Jaxson Cory (We both like but now I don't think I like it because I don't want people to call him Jack for short, Weird I know!) TIA

I love Mason Cory !

hewinked · July 2010

Oooh, I like them all! My favorite is Mason. DH vetoed that, and my brother's name is Jason, so it's too similiar.

i like mason cory. although, i will also say it depends on the last name. does mason ___ (your last name) sound good? and my opinion on jaxson is that i don't like it spelled that way - i like it spelled the traditional jackson. although you're right, then you run the risk of having a nn of jack (although i like that name as well, but you don't, so that's not good!).

I like Mason. However, I noticed it will rhyme with your daughter's name. Not sure if that would make a difference to you or not.

Yes, I have taken that into thought!!!! Alot of people think it's cute but i'm not to sure. but Gracen means "Son of Grace" and jaxson means "Son of Jack" and that annoyed me worse than them rhyming

This!! My initial thought was Mason all the way, but not with Gracen. If you don't like Jack you can start calling him Jax and that will catch on, unless you don't like that either. In that case, I would go with Micah.

Jaxson is bad. But, even if you spelled it Jackson, you probably shouldn't use it if you don't like Jack.

If your daughter's name is Gracen, the best option of the three is Micah. But if you don't like Micah, you should just come up with a brand new one.

i have a mexican last name so anything goes with it. If we go with Mason, he'll sound like a baseball player. & i don't want people thinking I named him jakcson after Micheal Jackson.

I like Mason Cory, but I agree with the PP who was concerned about it rhyming with your daughter's name.

I also like Jackson Cory, but I don't like the the unconventional spelling of Jaxson. I think calling him Jack or even Jax for short would be cute, though.

memelou10 · July 2010

I like them all. I'm only spelling it Jaxson so people will call him jax and not Jack.

hewinked · July 2010

I know of someone who named their son Jaxon, with that spelling, and she calls him Jax sometimes. Pronounced the same way as Jaxson.

gdssofshdws · July 2010

I vote for Mason. I think the rhyming thing is cute. People do much worse to their kids with names. Think about the Duggers.

EMT12resq · July 2010

Def. go with Mason

We are naming our little boy Mason Sterling so of coarse its my favorite.

This. I don't like the rhyming names, but I love Mason. I also like Micah a lot. I don't like Jaxson at all. It sounds like a made up spelling for Jackson (which I like).

Winter*Mommy · July 2010

If you spell it Jaxson, I doubt people would call him Jack - probably Jax.

MK&Z · July 2010

I like Jaxson, but I like the spelling Jackson. You can still use the nn Jax with that spelling. Otherwise I would go for Mason.

bobbyruth · July 2010

Micah! but people may call him mike for short and i don't really like that bc people will assume his name is Michael... The other two are NMS.

Mason Cory

Temp984666312503071 · July 2010

On it's own I like Mason Cory the best. But since your daughter is Gracen... I don't know. Mason & Gracen is very cutesy.

Micah Cory is okay. NMS.

Jaxson Cory.... JACKSON Cory doesn't bother me. Jaxson is a horrid spelling and just is plain ugly. Please reconsider the "xs" combo in the middle.

I have met several Jacksons in my life and never once did I EVER think they were named after Michael Jackson. I think you are overthinking that.

memelou10 · July 2010

Thanks everyone for the responses!! We might have to try and find a new name but by far I love Mason & i'm not budging!!

JoannaJes · July 2010

I like Micah.

kathleen02 · July 2010

I like Jaxson but I'd spell it the traditional way as well. I'm using a boy's name that can be shortened and while I don't mind it, I won't be calling my son by that nn.

Mason reminds me of Perry Mason or a mason worker, nms. and Micah? I don't know, I'm not feeling that either.

This! I'm not a fan of the rhyming siblings.

Unfortunately, as your son gets older, you have very little control of what nickname he may get. His friends may call him Jax or Jack, which if he doesn't mind it, then that is fine. My husband's nickname(which has stuck, and most people only know him by his nickname) has no resemblance to what his given name is. I'm sure his mother didn't plan it that way, but it stuck and is great.

I don't like alternative spellings, and I'm not a fan of siblings having rhyming names. I love the name Micah(I had a friend in high school, and rarely did anyone call him "Mike"). I have an Uncle Michael, and his nickname is "Mick". I'm not sure how that came about:)

Naming a child is soo difficult. You can take any of our opinions with a grain of salt, though, since it is your son:)

Mason is my favorite (it's also my nephew's name!)
