Can't decide between three boy names

vileoxidation · February 2013

Hi Everyone! About two weeks ago, DH and I found out that we are having a boy! I am due in June, and this is our first LO, and so now that we know the gender and know that everything is developing well, we are starting to think about names.

We have our list narrowed down to three, and we really can't decide between these three. Opinions/suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Our last name is Michaels.

Douglas John

Dominick John

Tobias John

Love Dominick John. GL

I love both Dominic and Douglas. If you are set on the spellings then my vote goes to Douglas. Otherwise Dominic is my fave.

Oh! I like all of these. I never heard Tobias until very recently, in a book.

I think my fave is Dominick.

I really love Douglas lately. It just sounds so strong and manly to me and I would love to meet a baby Douglas.

Dominic spelled like this is nice too, but I love Douglas more. Tobias makes me think of Arrested Development and never-nude shorts.

I love Douglas John

Tobias, then Dominic (spelled this way), then Douglas.

Its between Tobias and Douglas. Douglas(Doug) is a strong name, but I LOVE TOBY as a NN.

Ditto. I LOVE Tobias! I really want to see it take off. DH vetoed it.

Thank you all for your responses!

My favorite is Douglas John...it sounds strong and traditional to me, without being overdone. I personally prefer Dominic without the "k" but DH is stuck on having the "k" if we go that way.

Also, I am not a big nick-name person, but one of the main reasons I like Tobias is because I love Toby as a nick-name! I also like the full name Tobias, and I think it is interesting without being too weird, but I worry that it is a bit weaker than the other two choices.

I like them in this order: Tobias, Dominick, Douglas

Douglas John. I'm not a fan of Dominick and Tobias reminds me of the character on Arrested Development or Toby from the Office.

Dominick John

Dominick John (I don't think it needs the k but that's just me)

Fletch82 · February 2013

Dominick John

Lue94 · February 2013

Dominic John

It would be either Dominic or Douglas for me. I think I like them both equally - which is quite a lot! I'll echo a couple posters about Tobias reminding me too much of Tobias from Arrested Development and Toby from The Office!
