Need help with baby boy names please:)

LaRouge8382 · January 2014

OK so my husband and I have a list that keeps growing than shrinking than growing than shrinking. We need a little help narrowing things down. We both have VERY common names so we are looking for something that is a little different but not weird enough to keep him from getting a real job someday. Here is what we have. Eli, Miles, Cannon, Jaxson, Asa, Bishop, Felix Thoughts? Also open to suggestion:)

Please not Bishop or Cannon! He's not a chess piece nor artillery.

lscal20 · January 2014

Felix reminds me of a cat

xnbride · January 2014

Of your list I really like Miles.

katekat8721 · January 2014

Try nymbler!

JulieSmiles · January 2014

Miles is my favorite as well, but I also like Eli.

@katekat8721 my brain is sleepy right now, and my first thought was "Nymbler is a horrible name!"

MNOpea · January 2014

Miles or Eli are the only names I would use from your list.

BabyCurtiss2014 · January 2014

Miles is the best one on your list in my opinion

I like Owen and Kade

ELC252011 · January 2014

I like Eli. NMS with bishop or jaxson

TheMrs820 · January 2014

Eli or Miles

MollySm · January 2014

I like Miles and Felix.

SamMills · January 2014

Cannon and Felix! We had them on our first boys list but went with Karwin. This baby is a boy as well and they had to be taken off our list because we know people with those names now.

liberty95 · January 2014

I hate any name with an unnecessary X. My favs from that list are Eli and Miles, though they are not entirely my style either.

Same.

kbellizio3 · January 2014

I know a Felix and he's a jerk. So no to Felix (although I liked that name before I met him). I love Miles and Eli.

mikenjess113 · January 2014

Out of your picks, I'd say Miles. Most are NMS. My favorites for a boy this time were Easton, Cruze, Lane and McKinley.

Gigi8212 · January 2014

I love Miles! If you are going to go with Jackson, it should be spelled correctly. Jaxson really makes no sense.

Also, I like Felix as well.

BrooknCory · January 2014

Winston Porter

LttleJess · January 2014

Boy names that I love that my hubby has already veto'd:
-Beckett
-Paxton
-sawyer
-Graham
-Dax
-Bronson

Have at em!

ElTrain5 · January 2014

Eli: meh

Miles: love it. I feel like it's short for something though?

Cannon: not really

Jaxson: Jackson and Jaxon are poised to be the #1 most popular boys name of 2014, so if your going for unique, don't do this one.

Asa: sounds like a girls name

Bishop: like it

Felix: cat

brideybridg · January 2014

What about Milo? Kind of similar to Miles and Eli. It was one of my favorites, from the 90s movies heart and souls lol

MrsAMB07 · January 2014

Miles and Eli seem like the best options. I hate misspelled names, so if you used Jackson it wouldn't be so bad, but the opposite of unique these days. Bishop, Cannon, and Felix are awful, IMO. If we were having a baby boy this time, he would've been Brady.

hscoggins · January 2014

None of the names listed are my style. No offense but what is Asa? All I think of is the abbreviation for Aspirin

Of all the options, Miles gets my vote. What about Cameron?

LoveOBX630 · January 2014

A name I've heard that I really liked was Cohen....

AandJ28 · January 2014

None of these are my style either... Asa (shahs of sunset fans?), Jaxson (I like it spelled correctly), Bishop and Cannon - trying too hard IMO. Miles and Eli aren't horrible.

When I saw the name Miles, all I could think of was the movie Uncle Buck! Anyone else?

Nope, @AandJ28 - I still think of Rose's boyfriend Miles on the Golden Girls!

FutureMrsW9 · January 2014

I personally wouldn't use any of those names, but if I had to pick I think Jaxson is the best but spelled Jackson. Eli reminds me of the Giants, Miles is a pet name, Cannon is a giant gun used in the military, Asa isn't a name, Bishop is way too religious sounding and Felix is a cat. Sorry. You should try nymbler, it gives lots of suggestions based on names that you like.

Yes, it is. I don't like it any better than most of you, but it is actually a name. He was the third King of Judah and is spoken of within the Bible.

OP- Of your list, I like Miles.

O snap.

OP, I like Miles and Cannon.
