Just for fun...boy names!

DH and I have SO many baby girl names that we love but hardly any names for boys that we like! If you have a boy, what options do you like?

BFP #2 9/10/12 CP 9/19/12@ 5.5wks EDD 5/21/13

DS1 is Griffin Elliot. Elliot is DH's dad's middle name too.
Other boy options we had last time were: Rowen, Deacon, Preston, & Finn. Finn is obv out because it's too close to Griffin. Our last name is an animal, in plural form. Sounds weird, but it makes a lot of names a no-go for us!
We're probably going to go with Jack Gary for a boy. Jack was DH's dad, Gary is my dad. I always loved Jackson, but doesn't work with our last name
We also like Cody, Wyatt and Shane.
if we have a boy it will be "Martin"
We have not decided on a girl name.
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

I love the name Jake but DH isn't a fan. We both agreed on Owen.
For a boy, we like Wesley.
Partially due to my love for The Princess Bride (Westley). Promise we won't name our daughter Buttercup though.
I'm a teacher and know exactly what you mean about names being "ruined." It stinks!
I love the name Logan, always have, but my DH's arch enemy from HS had that name. Other than that, I'm out. We have to have Richard as a middle name (family tradition) but it's so hard to find a name that I like that flows.
We've had a similar problem with names, as my husband and I are both teachers so certain names are associated with certain students you would rather not name your child after...
With that in mind I spent a few days literally going through every name on babynames.com and here is our boys list at the moment:
Liam, Aiden, Ethan, Gavin, Austin, Felix, Gideon, Xander.
Our names may change still. DH has an uncle that he's very close to, so if it's a boy he will most likely be Timothy Joseph (after uncle and my grandpa). I also love Andrew, Nathan, and Samuel.
If we have a girl we're going with Elise Jane.
The only "tennant" I can think of is David Tennant....Doctor who fans?
We have three girls names that we will just choose from at birth.
Indeed
Oh that sucks
River is our girl name, still debating ont he middle name.
I love traditional boy names.
Our top contender right now is William, Liam for short - it's FIL and BIL's name, and BIL will almost certainly never have children (he's 42, and a confirmed bachelor).
I also love:
Charles/Charlie
Nicholas
James
Benjamin
Oliver
Henry/Harry, but it sounds funny with our last name
Jack
Joseph/Joe
Alexander
I think our top boy names right now are as follows:
Hunter, Wyatt, Walker, Westley, Quentin, Grant, and Chase
(I love Jackson and Dylan too, but we don't think they will work as well with our last name).
So far the only name we can agree on, for both boys and girls, is Cameron.
I love Jacob, Scott, and Parker, but DH doesn't like any of those names. Boo.
My son's name is Owen and it was the only one that we agreed on.
What a cute name! :
Those are all cute names! My nephew was almost named Liam, but his name is Rylan and I love it!
DS #1 is Caleb. If #2 is a boy we are thinking Carter. If its a girl, Caitlyn.
Yeah we are doing the "C" thing.
