We are pretty positive that we want a 1 syllable first name. His mn will be Sterling, which is DH's middle name. Our last name starts with an S.

DH is Blake Sterling S.

His top choice is Briggs Sterling. Thoughts? Kinda hard to say. He's obsessed with this name, and I'm not sure I like it yet.

We also like Miles, Gage, Wyatt, Cruz, Finn... short names like that. Does anyone have more suggestions?

CocoBrynne · January 2011

I like Blake or Miles

LemonBlush · January 2011

I like Blake. I hate Briggs, mostly bc I had a creepy shop teacher names Mr. Briggs...

missstacylynn25 · January 2011

I like Blake and Wyatt Sterling (not Cruz, would sound like three last names in a row).

Otherwise, um...Grant, Evan, um that's all I have for now.

I love Finn...Finn is my cats name and I always say to my husband we shouldnt of named our cat that because I wish we could have a son that name. He always says soooo we can still name our son Finn. ha

Definitely not a fan of Briggs. I do like Wyatt and what pp's suggested - Evan and Grant. Some other ideas would be:

Brett

Brent

Craig

John

Eric

Aaron

I like Miles and Wyatt best (though they both have 2 syllables).

Other one syllable names: Luke, Reed/Reid, Max...

To clarify, my Husband's name is Blake. We will not be naming our son that. They will only have the same mn.

cogbot · January 2011

I really like Blake.

waterfly · January 2011

I would vote against both Briggs Sterling(sounds like a law firm, or a type of flatware), and Gage Sterling(Gage sounds like "gauge" and is a common term for things like wire...like the silver wire used in jewelrymaking, etc). The others you list are fine, and it looks like several other people have given pretty good suggestions to add to your list. Good Luck!

mrsarjiltobe · January 2011

I like these...

Aaron (this is my sons name!)

Dean

Finn

Eric

Paul

Yay for Team Blue!

I love Briggs. I know a Briggs and he is awesome- never had any trouble pronouncing his name.

I also love Gage, Finn, and Wyatt. I see Miles too often around here. Cruz is NMS.

Other ideas:

Brent, Judd, Cash, Luke, Jake, Quinn, Keane, Hank, Ford, Shane, Jude, Cord, Bryce, Cal, Trace, Graham, Cole, Dax, Colt, Trent, Grant

BabyBurns · January 2011

Not a fan of Briggs, but I think all of the other choices are great! If you're still looking for other suggestions I like: Jack, Ben, William (Will)

COMomma81 · January 2011

I think Briggs is ok, but runs together with Sterling and is hard to say. Not my fave. My husband I also have a fondness for short names as well. Our son is Kane, and if this one's a boy, he will be Nash.

Some others:Graham, Grant, Hayes, Tate, Brock, Sean, Beau, Cade, Cael/Cale, Dane, Dean, Jude, Heath, Luke, Pierce, Rhys, Max, Vaughn, Shane, Zane, Reid, Kai

AsOctoberFalls · January 2011

I really dislike Briggs. As others have said, Briggs Sterling sounds like a law firm. A child should have at least one first name instead of 3 surnames, IMO. Smile

I like Miles and Finn out of the ones on your list.

jacksmommy51 · January 2011

What about jack? I really like Jack Sterling! I also like finn.

HannahO28 · January 2011

What kind of name is Briggs? I can't find it on any legitimate baby name sites. Is it made up? where did you find it? I think Briggs Sterling sounds awful.

I like Finn and Gage the best from your list.

ces25c · January 2011

Out of your list I like Miles, Gage and Wyatt the best and I agree with other comments that Briggs Sterling sounds like a business or law firm.

Some others I like the sound of together: Ryan Sterling, Shane Sterling (3 S initials... not weird but you might not prefer it), Quinn Sterling, Brett/Brent Sterling, Cole Sterling.

starlight8323 · January 2011

I like Miles, but I would avoid it since the middle name starts with S. For that, and other reasons, I would avoid Briggs as well.

Cruz is super trendy right now.

Finn is cute I guess, but it sounds like a nickname to me. I prefer Flynn.

Gage Sterling sort of sounds like a jewelry theme to me. Like you are trying to gage how sterling a ring is, or something. I know that's not something you really do, but any verb is going to sound akward with a noun/adjective middle name like Sterling.

So let's see what's left? Wyatt! Oh, good, because that's probably my favorite of all of them. It's so cute, and I think it fits perfectly with Sterling. I see you are from Houston. I think Wyatt Sterling is the perfect name for a little Texan! Smile

Other ideas:

Flynn Sterling S________ (like I said before)

Rhett Sterling S________

Reid Sterling S________

Cole Sterling S________

Seth Sterling S________

Dean Sterling S________

Sean Sterling S________

I like Wyatt the best from your list. I actually don't think Briggs is a terrible name. Its unique, and although its nms, I understand what you're going for. I, too, and sick of all the Jacobs, Lucas, Aidans, and Calebs.

However, I don't like the combination of Briggs with Sterling, which I why I would vote for Wyatt.

Also, I am a teacher and know the cutest little boy named Reid (or Reed if you prefer).

I also know a lot of cute Colemans (Cole) and Coltons (Colt). I know those are not one syllable first names, but their nn would be!
