let's hear your boy names!

I think we have narrowed ours down to either Benjamin or James, but I am still unsure. I just looked through our baby name book again and still nothing really jumps out at me. I would love to hear your boy names (what made your list, what name did you decide on, and even if you are having a girl I'd still love to hear what boy names are your favorites!).

Re: let's hear your boy names!

  • Our top 4 names are:

    Brandon John & Mason William

    Luke John & Jake William

    I do love Benjamin but DH will never go for it b/c he hates the NFL QB of the same name :)

  • We had picked out Maddix until we found out it was a girl!

  • I like Benjamin - DH did not.

    We have narrowed it down to Keegan or Nolan for a boy. But we are  Team Green so we don't know if we'll be using them.

    I also liked Liam and Christopher.

  • If we have a boy he will be Nicholas Alan. Both are family names for us.  I loved Lane but DH didn't love it.

    We found choosing a boys name to be super hard.

  • I love both of your boy names - Benjamin slightly more. Right now, we're almost decided on Edward (or at least nothing else we've seen is better, though I have to admit, I don't *love* it, but DH does). My top names were Roman and Dmitry (we're Russian), but DH shot them down immediately. We've considered Evan, Matthew, Samuel. DH loves the name Ethan, but it's just NMS at all, plus its popularity isn't helping.
  • I really like Benjamin!  The names that made our short list...but that we didn't end up picking were:  Noah, August, Evan, Luca, and Coleman.  We are now down to three with a clear front runner.  About 99 % positive on the name now...but we are not telling anyone.  I also liked Micah and Soloman but was immediately vetoed on those two.

    Alexander William Lee

  • Ours is Ashton Liam, but we had a list of about 10 until we finally made a decision!  Good luck!
  • Domenic :)

    I was asked a couple times over the Holiday what we were naming him. Their reply was something along the lines of hee haw hee haw...

  • we finally decided on Logan for our little man..   my DH and I have VERY different taste in names so there was a lot of back and fourth, hang in there you will find the perfect fit

  • I like Benjamin and James!

     We aren't completely decided, but right now Eli is our top contender.  Other names we like are: Porter, Easton,Edmund (I don't like it as much as DH does), Nathan, Jacob (too popular for me), Phillip and Samuel.

  • I am having the same problem.  We won't be deciding a name until we meet him but we want to go in with at least 3 names.  We did this for our 1st son and it worked out well. 

    1st time around: Gavin Nicholas, Matthew Vance and Luke Austin.  (All are names of significance to us.)  When DS was born, we knew he was a Gavin.

    This time:  We are thinking that we will use Austin as a middle name but have a short list of Brock and Logan as first names.  Brock is in the lead right now. 

    I am still looking for other contenders and would like to add to our list.  After being a teacher, so many names are immediately ruled out for me.  The ones I do like are nixed by DH.

  • If baby is a boy he will be Nolan.  Other names I like are Christian, Isaac, Elliot, Nicholas and Alexander. 

    FWIW, I also like both Benjamin and James.

  • With our first, we decided in the delivery room. I think my pick (Nathan) won because DH felt bad that my labor was so long! Hahah.

    This time, our short list is:

    Jacob - my pick, but uncomfortably popular - as a Jen, it's a concern! I love how it sounds with big brother's name (Jake and Nate = cute!)

    Luke or Lucas - biblical like big brother's

    Franco - DH pick, but I just can't get my arms around it - it reminds me of a spanish dictator! DH LOVES it though...

    Benjamin - I like it, but I don't like that Ben rhymes with my name and in spanish sounds like the word "ven", which means, "come here."

    For any of the above, the middle name would be Tomas or Thomas.

    I think this might get decided in the delivery room again, after we get a good look at him. :)

  • DS1 is Gabriel Jacob. IF DC2 is a boy, he'll be Isaac Steven. (A girl would be Hanna Rosalene.)

  • If DD were a boy, her name would have been Finn. Others on our short list were Harrison, Alistair, and Calvin. Names I love a lot, but vetoed are Miles (I have an ex by that name, so it would have been too weird) and Oscar (our cat's name).

  • Right now, we're thinking his name will be Grant Weston.  We're not telling anyone to give ourselves the freedom to change our minds, but both DH and I have loved the name Grant from the beginning.

  • William Benson, and will will call him by his middle name.

  • As of right now our little guy will be Augustus Abram.  Boy names are super difficult!
  • We've pretty much got it narrowed down to Ethan or Andrew. We'll probably wait to meet him to decide for sure. Other names we considered: Jacob, Benjamin, Samuel, and Jack.
    S- March 09 E- Feb 12 L- May 15


  • We are set on William Cutter. He will go by Cutter!  DH's initials are WCA so we gave him the same initials, different names.

  • If LO was a baby, we would have went with Hudson Jake or Hudson Michael - both of the middle names are after loved ones and would depend on what day he was born.

    Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!


  • We chose Wesley for our baby boy.  My favorite boy name is Henry, but we named our cat Henry so that wouldn't have worked! I also liked Charles (Charlie) and Owen.

  • If we were having a boy I really liked Aaron.  No one mentioned that yet.  Good luck!  Took us forever to decide!  Our girl's name just finally became completely official on Christmas day.  DH and I are both set on it.  PHEW!

  • We have a few.. Front runner right now is Zachary, or Marcus , Alec is another top one. Middle names are Allan James after our dads. We have one unusual named picked out and that would be Rivers. I just don't know! 
  • My nephew is Benjamin, I love it.

    Ours is Liam Clancy  (Clancy is MH's grandpa----yeah...)

    On our list for possible middle names (I was set on Liam)  were Finn, Joseph, Arthur, but ultimately, I let DH choose.

  • Not decided yet, but right now I am stuck on Ian Michael.  I was loving Neil Aaron until I searched it with our last name on Facebook and found out that there is a guy that works with my SIL with the EXACT SAME name.
