names for a boy?

kymberx · February 2011

I am 14 weeks pregnant but I wanted to start picking names out so that would be one less thing on my mind. For a girl I like Olivia Rae and a boy Ayden Joseph but no one else seems to like the boy name I picked out and keeps telling me if I have a son he will probably be picked on. So anyone have any suggestions for a boys name that is not so popular?

xoxo thanks : )

If you name your son Ayden he will probably have 5 others in his class. What about Cooper, Conner, Alexander, Jude, Brice, Levi, Tanner, or Miles.

Very true! Its just so hard to pick out a name! But i actually do like the name Tanner Big Smile

thanks

With that y in there I absolutely agree that he will be made fun of. If you spell it correctly, there's no reason why anybody should make fun of him.

Our DS is named Vaughn and we get tons of compliments.

I think that Ayden is a good, solid name. I'm not going to discuss my name list with family & friends because everybody has an opinion and knows somebody ugly with those names.

Well, I am a fan of creative & unique names, so here are a few: Amos, Janson, Xzavier, Seamus, Van, Keenan, Quinton, Nigel, Reginald, Tripp, Sterling, Donavan, Deangelo, Constance, Demarcus, Daxton, Treyvon, Devonte, Tyree, Reon...to name a few.

H and I basically have our names picked out already and are not sharing with anyone until the baby is born.

My boy choices were:

Holden
Grayson
Arden
Oliver

I'm having a girl though.

I like Ayden, it's just WAY too common.

I love the name Ayden! We have a girl Aiden!

I also just don't like the odd spelling. "Aiden" is nice, "Ayden" looks like you just didn't know how to spell. Our little boy will be Alexander William and we'll call him 'Xander' it's a popular name but "Aiden" is far more trendy right now.

If we have another son for our second child we're considering "Benjamin" (except now MIL has said she'd call him 'Benji' so I'd have to discuss how I'd hate that before we'd actually use it).

I like the names on this posters list. I also agree that Ayden/Aiden is way too common as well. I also like Cooper and Tanner. Smile

I agree, I am so tired of the Ayden, Brayden, Cayden, etc craze. If we have a boy we are naming him Rylan.

Sorry I dont have any boy suggestions just wanted to point out that I love your girls name. My daughters name is Olivia Rayne.

I had my heart set on Aiden for a boy, but DH was against it. He said that all he hears all day is mothers yelling at "Aiden"! I was pretty disappointed. He choose the name Brandon Michael. I still love it!

I love Kegan Ayden for a boy.Just a thought.

kacelle · February 2011

If you combine spellings of Ayden, it's the #1 boy name. I wouldn't use it because of its popularity (and popularity of other -ayden names), but if I were to use it, I'd only spell it Aiden. I think that any other spelling looks strange.
