New Boy Name List

gibbonlove · October 2011

Please critique our new list for this little guy. MH only likes 'out there' names, so this has been quite the challenge. Thanks!

Auden (DH won't let me use Austin, so this is somewhat of a compromise)

Bodie (sounds like beau-dy)

Lachlan (nn Lake)

Lake

Rhys

ETA: Thanks for the honest opinions. Like I said, this is a challenge for us. Ugh.

austenreader85 · October 2011

Rhys is the only name that I can get behind . I've never heard of Auden or Bodie before and Lachlan is a last name, and I don't see Lake as a nn for it.

How about River or Reid?

allisonmarie22 · October 2011

I really dislike all of them.

KikiCohen · October 2011

All of these are NMS. Sorry.

kygirlie113 · October 2011

The only one I like is Rhys.

mama31 · October 2011

I like Rhys. Don't like the rest.

Texas77again · October 2011

ummmm, no. sorry i don't like any of them.

Auden kinda sounds like Austin with a lisp

Bodie reminds me of Booty

Lachlan- like a pp said is a ln

Lake just doesn't sound like a fn to me

Rhys- while i know some like it, just seems like it's missing some letters to me. like it's unfinished.

AlphabetFish · October 2011

I hate them all (except Rhys). Really, seriously, hate them. Especially Bodie, goodness gracious, I cannot stand that name. I just hate the sounds of them--and a lake is a body of water, not a name!

Rhys is quite cute, though. Go with that.

drunkindonuts · October 2011

If any, Rhys.

books4brooke · October 2011

I'm in the minority. Lachlan is also on our list, and it's actually a first name and is REALLY popular in Australia. I wouldn't use Lake as a nn though, especially because of the loch/lake confusion. My friend's son's name is Auden Jude, and I think it's really cool. I also like Bodie.

Rhys

These are all horrible.

Lake? Are you f'ing serious?

talentedmomma · October 2011

I like them all, Bodie the least.

yellowtulips80 · October 2011

Meh.

Puppylove*85 · October 2011

I like Rhys. Lachlan is okay with the nickname Locke but Lake sounds too feminine.

Auden also sounds feminine. Bodie sounds juvenile; I cannot imagine it aging well.

1LittleMonster · October 2011

Auden - I like it, but not for a boy.

Bodie - Not my favorite, but it's okay.

Lachlan - I really like this name. I think it's handsome, but I don't like the nickname Lake.

Lake - Don't like it at all.

Rhys - I really like this name.

My favorites are Lachlan & Rhys. Big Smile

Under.the.Rose · October 2011

I really like Lachlan and Rhys. I don't understand why you'd use the nickname "Lake" for Lachlan though considering the name isn't pronounced "lake-lan", it's "lock-lan".

Angiee930 · October 2011

I don't want to be rude but all the names are not so good. I say scratch all the names and redo your list.

Auden (DH won't let me use Austin, so this is somewhat of a compromise) I think I really like that name. Its not Aidan which is a little over used and Austin is a little dated

Bodie (sounds like beau-dy) LOVE. It was on our boys list for a while.

Lachlan (nn Lake) meh- NMS

Lake I have never thought of this as a boys name

Rhys

ETA: Thanks for the honest opinions. Like I said, this is a challenge for us. Ugh.

Auden - Sounds made up to me
Bodie - I think this is kind of cute
Lachlan (nn Lake) - I like this as well since I'm part Irish
Lake - eh
Rhys - I prefer the spelling Reese, but a good name nonetheless.

taurus424 · October 2011

sorry none are really my style!

MegD725 · October 2011

Rhys. The others are NMS.

ycristina84 · October 2011

Rhys is one of my favorite boy names ever, so that gets my vote. I like Lachlan, I actually know a very good looking Lachlan in his 30's. I am a fan of Lake, but I see it as only a girl name and it absolutely does not derive from Lachlan, it's trying too hard.

Bodie is so horrible I can't even put into words why. I honestly can only picture a stereotypical redneck dumb jock with this name. Yuck. Auden is pretty bad too, but not as a bad as Bodies...They both just sound really ugly, I'm sorry.

MrsSutton0523 · October 2011

Rhys is the only one I would consider the rest sounds like a bunch of made up names

Loganswife · October 2011

Rhys is the only one I can stand.

LBF DPT · October 2011

I have met one little boy with the name Auden, I like it as well as Lachlan.

GermanGirl2007 · October 2011

kygirlie113:

This. Yes

magsugar13 · October 2011

hate them all

pacsunqtaz · October 2011

Go with Rhys. Bodie and Lake are just terribad.

caitlyn0216 · October 2011

What about Alden? I dont think Auden flows off the tongue very well... Rhys is nice. I don't care for Bodie, which is too similar to (as previously mentioned) booty, or Brody, which is very common. I heard a name I REALLY liked the other day: Layton. I think it sounds nice and isn't TOO out there, but isnt too common

Auden (DH won't let me use Austin, so this is somewhat of a compromise) DOn't like but I do like Alden.
Bodie (sounds like beau-dy) I like, reminds me of the olympic skier from the mountain where we have season passes.
Lachlan (nn Lake) Love and would use if we didn't have a last name that rhymed with it...not a fan of Lake at all.
Lake NO
Rhys Love

Yes

Perhaps.... Reid, Grady, Weston, or Tanner would be your style. I just don't like those. Sorry

aubreyan · October 2011

I like Auden and Rhys. Lachlan is fine but I feel like it's getting kind of popular. What about Arlo??

Sean+Lyss · October 2011

I really only like Rhys. Auden looks made up to me, Bodie reminds me of body (like a dead body), Lachlan makes me think of a leprechaun, Lake NMS.

RichInLove · October 2011

A friend just named her son Lochlan, nn Loch. It's growing on me...

ClareML10 · October 2011

I love Rhys. I also like Lachlan, but hate the nn Lake, I think the nn Lach (Lock) would be much better. I like Auden, but I have heard it on girls lately. Lake is a no. I hate to say this but I feel like Bode is a dog's name.

Bodie - sounds like Brody

I am a teacher some interesting names I have come across that might be your style is:

Lathan (Nathan but with a L )

Kiren (long i)

Caven (short a)

Kolden (like I have a cold)

October

Tennessee

These are totally not my style but might be yours.

emilyray14 · October 2011

I kinda like Auden! Rhys is ok. I like Lachlan too but the nn Lake doesnt make sense. What about calling him "Lock/Lach"? I dont like Bodie or Lake at all.

What about Alton?
