What are some boys names you liked but didn't use

CocoBrynne · March 2011

for one reason or another. Thanks!

If our little one was a boy we were considering Gabriel and Micah. But we found out on Friday that we're having a little girl. I love the name Gabriel, so it will be keep on a list for a possible future baby boy.

Sorry, I'm on my phone, so I can't format. Calvin, nn Cal - couldn't get past that it means bald/hairless, but it was still our second choice. Walter, nn Walt - no real reason we didn't use it. Still in the running for future kiddos. Gilbert, nn Gil - DH veto. How cute would a little Gil be? Saul - sounds silly with our last name.

twohniyt-I like your style! Wink

DH and I have vetoed Cole, Nathan, Everett, Samuel, and Jacob for various reasons.

I LOVED Caleb and Mason and DH vetoed both. His name his Jason so he thought Mason and Jason sounded dumb...I guess : )

twohniyt---what about Gabrielle for a girl??? Love that name.

AnneShirleyBlythe · March 2011

Girls: Ivy and Josephine. Ivy sounds wretched with my last name, and our son is named Jack, so I don't want a Jack and Jo, we are not Duggars. So we are going with #3, Lila.

Boy: Eli/Elias/Elliott any of the three would have been this ones name if it was a boy.

Adorable! I mentioned Gilligan to DH and he laughed We also didn't use;

Seamus - dh said it sounded like "shame us"

Cyrus - Didn't like the Miley Cyrus connection

Lucian - Runner up

Holden - Cousin beat us to it

Emiliana7 · March 2011

Damon- didn't use because so close to demon.

ames71 · March 2011

I liked:

Gabriel - DH shot down because it's the name of one of his cousins.

Sam (Samuel), Charlie (Charles), Luke, Lucas, Gus (Angus), Benjamin, Magnus - DH shot these and a bunch of others down because he knows guys with these names. This is what happens when your husband is in the military.

Donovan, Julian, Beckett, Lucian, Milo, and Simon were shot down because he just didn't like them.

He liked:

Colin - I shot it down because the first three letters of our last name are Col. No thank you.

Hondo - I shot this down for obvious reasons.

HollyMarie1984 · March 2011

Liam, Alexander, Aiden, Mason, Lucas, Ian, Noah and Ethan.

krissyh21 · March 2011

Ryan, Evan, Andrew, Blake, Shane, Lucas.

citychicks · March 2011

Aldous and Barnaby. DH didn't like Barnaby and he named Alasdair while I was in the shower post birth, when we had been waiting to use either Aldous or Alasdair. Tongue Tied

He loved the name Drake, but I vetoed it. Indifferent

twohniyt · March 2011

We are actually considering Gabrielle or Gabriella for our daughter. My only reason for not wanting to use it is that I love Gabriel so much and if we were to have a son one day I don't like the idea of have a Gabrielle/Gabriella and a Gabriel. It is on our top 5 girl name list though.

Thanks for the suggestion!

BethPSU · March 2011

DS#2 was almost Owen. I like Owen a lot, but I started hearing it so often and seeing it on here that we decided it was way to popular for us.

MyColonyNJ · March 2011

This was our boy's list, which obviously went out the window when I gave birth to a girl LOL

Simon
Felix
Bode
Oscar
Jasper

Rach21 · March 2011

Our final 5 were: Archer, Caleb, Gideon, Liam, and Wyatt. We narrowed it down to Archer, Caleb, and Gideon. We found Caleb to be too common, and we kept going back to Gideon. We're supposedly 1 and done, but if we ever had another son, Archer will make a comeback.

Yes DS #1 is Archer. Smile

Ceridwen21 · March 2011

DH has vetoed my two favs: Oscar and Felix

ckmommy · March 2011

Callum, Everett, Cooper, Conner, all were vetoed because they just didn't feel right. Charles was out the window because it is FIL's name and since we were using H's family tradition mn, he would have had the same name as FIL. Clark was my vote...vetoed due to our last name and the superhero association. Wow we liked C names.

honkytonk_kid · March 2011

I had so many boy names I loved, I hope we have at least one more boy Stick out tongue

Nathaniel, Nolan, Connor, James, Ryan, Collier, John Mark, Elijah, Cole

pandi02a · March 2011

My favorite name was Luca, but DH wasn't on board. I also really like the name August, but DH was even less enthusiastic about that one. We are going with Dominic, I love it but it wasn't my first choice. At least we found one that we both love.

Wow we have a son named Gideon (21 months) and live in Nashville. I have a store in Murfreesboro. I have never met another Gideon...pretty random.

2-Step · March 2011

On our list were Owen, Carson, Devon (DH's choice), Sean, Grady, Micah, Brennan, Curtis, Andrew

Some of these I don't like anymore, luckily I still like my DS's name though! It's Carson, it had family significance which is one of the main reasons we went with it.

UGAbride · March 2011

Ryan - would have definitely been our child's name if this third baby had been a boy...but we're having a girl this time (brothers are Jack and Ethan).

Luke (nn for Lucas) - I always liked this one, but DH was all "I am your father" and couldn't get past that silliness.
