Which boy name do you like better?

brittneygirl · July 2012

I tried and tried to make this a clicky and it just wont work...These are our top 3 names. Give me honest opinions! I love hearing why you do or don't like a name...Makes it interesting..

1. Zeke

2. Maverick (Mav for short)

3. Blaze

6fsn · July 2012

Honestly none of them are my style. Zeke is quite harsh sounding. Maverick and Blaze make me think of super heros.

ETA: Even though I know a Blaize who is an incredibly intelligent and respected doctor I would have a hard time taking any of these names seriously in a professional setting.

goofyteacher · July 2012

I think out of those Zeke.

jenaliat · July 2012

Maverick! My DH loves Top Gun though

choppinbroccoli22 · July 2012

If "Zeke" were short for Ezekiel, I might like it a little better.

I think Blaze sounds like someone I don't want my daughter to date.

Maverick is my favorite.

featherust · July 2012

Mav!

Mrs.DeliaMarieP · July 2012

1. Zeke- I agree with pp, I would like it better if it were a nn for Ezekiel

2. Maverick- I just don't like it, but at least it's a full name.

3. Blaze- sounds like a tag name or a serious stoner. I would expect to see it plastered on a brick wall.

This.

hasenpheffer86 · July 2012

Maverick, but I like Top Gun

sesigs · July 2012

I love Zeke. I always loved the name Ezekiel with Zeke as a nn but DH shot it down pretty quickly!

MommyLuvsMe1210 · July 2012

double post... sorry

MommyLuvsMe1210 · July 2012

NO FAIR. I HAVE DIBS ON EZEKIEL (Zeke for short).

Nah, I'm kidding... but I can't vote since I have a biased opinion

lew0509 · July 2012

Personally, these all sound like dog names to me. I actually know people who have named their dogs all of these.

MelissaRae1525 · July 2012

Zeke is the only one that doesn't remind me of a dog

sorry! Blaze was my ex-bfs dog's name and I agree with the "not wanting my daughter to date" sentiment.

Bambina54 · July 2012

Please don't name your child Blaze.

landosmommy · July 2012

I would have to go with Blaze.

They're all a little too contemporary for my liking, but I like Blaze best.

this decaf life · July 2012

I think Maverick is the best because it's a real name but it's still NMS. Zeke & Blaze sound like dog names.

I agree with this considering my dogs name is Zeke. IMO i don't like any of them as a boys name.

LorMor · July 2012

Mavericks is a very well known strip club chain here.

dodo1202 · July 2012

i like Zeke the best among the three.

FirefightersBride · July 2012

ICarriedAWatermelon:
They remind me of the American Gladiators.

this!

JessaPrimate · July 2012

Maverick because of the old TV show starring James Garner.

Blaze makes me think of American Gladiators haha.

doggylovr · July 2012

none are my style.....please make sure you before you name your child you think about what it will look like on the top of a resume. To each his own , just something to think about when in a huge stack of people to interview

erbear717 · July 2012

although top gunish- def maverick, by the time the baby is old enough he wont even know who tom cruise is haha. blaze and zeke i dont like, good luck

karkissy09 · July 2012

I like Maverick--and Mav is adorable. I like Blaze but I've seen it and prefer it spelled Blaise.

watkinae · July 2012

Unfortunately I don't like any of those options. Zeke sounds like an old hillbilly. Maverick sounds like a character from a western movie. and Blaze sounds like a drug dealer/stoner's nickname. Of the 3 I think the lesser of evils is Maverick.

OP, your son is only going to be your little boy but for so long. His name has to also work for an adult. Will he be embarrassed to put any of these names at the top of a professional resume??

JamesMom10 · July 2012

If we have a boy, we are naming him Maverick (my grandpa's middle name). I like Zeke alright, but Blaze is just bad, I think.

CMor1 · July 2012

Maverick - good nickname options of "Mav" or "Rick"

mrsmklynch · July 2012

Of those, I think Maverick.

LilBlkDress1 · July 2012

I don't love any of them to be honest. Just NMS, they seem like they're names that are trying too hard to be different.

But out of the probably Zeke.

CHELSMS06 · July 2012

~Maverick~

My parents had dogs with all 3 of these names when I was growing up

drpayne · July 2012

Honest opinion:

As PPs said, Zeke is really a nn for Ezekiel. Maverick reminds me of Top Gun and the only Blaze I know is a dog. I do know a Blaise, which is a biblical name.

caymanianseminole · July 2012

I like Maverick the best - makes him sound like a hot shot! Good luck!

MSUMands · July 2012

Oh Dear, those all bring to mind images I wouldn't want associated with my baby

1. Zeke - I went to Michigan State, and our mascot dog was named "Zeke the wonder dog". He would run around during football games and play frisbee with Sparty!

2. Maverick (Mav for short) - Reminds me of the Dallas Mavericks, or worse, Tom Cruise. Blech.

3. Blaze - The #1 stoner nickname of every guy that got high in high school and didn't graduate. I can barely picture saying this name out loud without craving cheetos and Taco Bell!

TiaS16 · July 2012

Of the 3...I like Zeke

I live in Texas and Mavericks are a professional basketball team. I wouldn't have thought of the movie Top Gun.

I'm also a country girl, and a Blaze is the word used to describe the white marks on a horses face

While a person makes the name...first impressions are often based off of a name, like somebody else already mentioned...

Nericole · July 2012

I love Zeke. My BIL is named Zeke.

Blaze is a ridiculous name in my opinion.

willowdust7 · July 2012

This.

Also, for click poll you have to insert [Poll] in the first tab and then make actual poll on the 2nd tab

redneckprincess4190 · July 2012

I like Maverick and Blaze....

KRIS10L · July 2012

I like Blaise but with the different spelling. Like St. Blaise. It's actually a very old traditional name. The spelling with the z makes it look too hard.
