Boy name suggestions...

Eliz77Eliz77 member
in Baby Names
We are struggling on a boy name. Middle name will be after my dad, Bruce, and our last name rhymes with Barney.

My top two choices have been Ryan and Dylan. H vetoed Ryan and is ok with, but not loving Dylan. H's top two have been Colton (which I shot down) and Brayden (sentimental reasoning, childhood friend of H's who passed away, but we both are skeptical regarding the over popular use of -aiden names...and I feel it's too cutesy.)

Originally, I wanted a J name, after my H, who does not want a Jr, and my favorite is Jacob, which H said no to.

Only name thrown around that we both do like but are on the fence about is Garrett. All the other family names are either overused (John, Jack, Louis) or we just don't want to use as a FN (Ralph, Mark).

Any suggestions that somehow go with MN/LN, as well as seems our style, if there even is one??

Thanks for any ideas!

    Jeremy came to mind right away, and I think it sounds great with Bruce.

    Other J name options:

    Justin

    Jordan (have always loved this name for a boy)

    Jonah

    Julian

    Jonathan

    Jeffrey

    Jackson or Jaxson Bruce, Jonah is adorable but not sure if it goes with Bruce. I have a nephew Brayden and I like the name. But do you like Brayden Bruce?

    Last name does not begin with B, not that it really matters....

    Adding Jeremy to the list for sure.

    Mark is a very handsome name, and seems to be underused these days. Also love Ralph (such a cool name) and Bruce . For j names I will suggest Jared with nn Jed. Also Justin , Jason, Joseph, Jeffrey, and Joshua.

    I do love Mark-my Uncle and Godfather's name. Very popular on my side of family, Italians seem to love reusing many names, and a name I would definitely use as a MN in future. My H is Justin, and I love that name! But he doesn't want a Jr.

    Joseph is out because my mom's name is Jo and I would love the option of giving a future daughter some sort of name after my mom. I like the idea of Joseph, though-Joey is cute for a kid, Joseph good as is for adult.

    If you like Brayden, what about Bradford or Bradley?
