Quentin or other suggestions?

ShannonMSW · May 2013

I am due in early September with my second little boy. My husband and I are having a tough time agreeing on a name. The only name he would be willing to go with at this point is Quentin. He would also like the middle name to be John, which I am ok with if it fits with the first name. I am not sold on Quentin, though I like it ok.

Some names that I really like (that he has vetoed) include: Micah, Ari, Jude, Judah, Ezekiel, Spencer, Abram, Regan, Presley. He is "ok" with Joaquin, Sawyer, and Ashton...but doesn't love any of them.

Our first son's name is Jonah Daniel, which we both love. But, I chose that one and it took some convincing.

So, I am wondering what you think of Quentin John and/or do you have any other out of the box suggestions for us? I feel like I have gone through every name possible already!

Thank you!

Quentin John isn't bad. Has you DH made any suggestions? Maybe we can get a better feel for his style.

Thank you. He really hasn't been providing many suggestions, which is part of the problem! I think he is just really picky because he has been looking online and in our baby name book. He likes names that are unique/not hugely popular. But, he thinks some of the name I like (i.e. Ezekiel) are a little too unique!

Sorry it is not a lot to go on!

I like Quentin.

Though I love Joaquin-- I wouldn't use it with John, as I believe Joaquin translates to Jonathan.

What about

Sutton

Beckett

Lachlan

Cooper

Thatcher

Asher

Baron

Grayson

I like Quentin, and John works nicely as a middle name.

The only other name I can think to suggest that hasn't been suggested yet is Wesley. I thought if Spencer right away, and that was suggested in a pp.

I think Quentin John sounds terrific.

I think Quentin John is fine. I really like Quentin.

What about Ezra? It is similar to Ezekial but is a bit more common.

That does sound good and I love the name Ezra....but....can't do it because it was the name of an ex and would just be weird!

I did like quentin but my SO liked Quinton but Quinton is an area in our neighbourhood and I thought people would say it the wrong way.

We've looked at biblical names also and if its a boy we both liked Joel but I'm warming to Jonah also.
