What do you think? Boys Names

agray27 · February 2011

We are having a hard time figuring out a boys name for DS2. Here is a short list of a few top choices. Whcih one do you guys like best:

Hayden

Foster - family name.... its my maiden name and thought it will be a nice way to keep the name in the family since my only brothers has all girls

Thatcher

I'd vote for Foster for the family tie.

I'd also vote to strike Hayden from the list entirely.

None are my style, but I like that foster has special meaning.

Hayden is a girls name IMO. Foster sounds too much like a last name.. consider this for a MN. Thatcher is okay but too last namish IMO.

Not a Hayden fan just because so many people are using it for girls now.

Thatcher is my maiden name :-)

Foster I really like!

I like Foster the best. And as I have a maiden name that is actually a somewhat popular boys name, I like the idea of passing it down. Mine is my DS's middle name.

I agree- Hayden is a girls name.

I agree w/ pp ? Hayden is going girl.

I vote for Foster because of the family connection. That's a great way to honor your family.

I have a friend named Thatcher, but it's his mom's maiden name. It's a perfectly good name, but I think that the connection is better than the name itself. I think it would be weird to use it if it were not a family name.

Not a fan of any of the names. I'd pick Foster b/c of the family tie, but it does remind me of the beer.

I like Foster as a middle name.

I don't care for Thatcher at all.

The only Hayden I know is a girl. I think it has been used more for girls since Hayden Panettiere gained popularity.

I also vote Foster. . .Maack was my maiden name and it fits DS perfectly!

soldiersgrl3 · February 2011

I LOVE Foster!

ebonis:
I would go with Foster. Thatcher and Hayden are NMS.

This.

I like Foster

Foster is my favorite & I like the family tie. (We are giving our baby my maiden name as a middle name for the exact same reason.)

Hayden: I don't agree with those who say it's a girls name; I think it's unisex. But, unfortunately I associate it with a kid who is a monster (even his parents nicknamed him Satan).

Thatcher is pretty nice, but I still dig Foster a little more.
