Boy Names are so HARD!!

youstolemysoulyoustolemysoul member
edited January 2015 in Baby Names
So we found out that it's a boy 2 days ago and we have a slew of girls names, but we've been having some serious issues with boy's names.

Right now we like Jonas and Gallagher (but neither seems right).

If it helps at all some girl names we liked are Rowan, Hadley, Olive, Adeline and Abigail. (not looking for alternatives to these names ie- Oliver or Rowan as a boys name. These are names we like for girls only. Hope that helps)

I like Emerson, Sawyer and Finnegan, but no luck on my SO with those!

and just to clarify we've been discussing names since before we conceived, so this is going on like 5 months of trying to come up with names. I feel like we'll just know it when we hear it.

    I do like Emory (though I'd probably spell it Emery) and I always forget about Lincoln! I love Lincoln.

    Camden, Hudson, and Finley are great!

    We're thinking about Avery as a MN (SO didn't like it for a FN).

    I'm not here to debate the names we've chosen for girls. Only want boy name help.

    The reason boys names are so hard is that people keep using boys names for girls.
    Thank you!  Exactly!  As if there aren't enough girl names to choose from already!

    How about Graham? I love that name for a boy - so sweet. I think girl names are harder. I had a few boys names picked out until we found out we're having a girl. Good luck!

    Okay. I get it, but my mind isn't changing. I just want boy name help. Im not asking for girl name feedback. I just put them up so you all could see names I like... Feeling a bit attacked right now.

    But we're having a boy. Giving me feedback on a single girls name is not helping just frustrating. :-(

    I am however very appreciative of the people who've given some new names, though none have passed the SO... We're sodifferent in what we like.

    Gallagher is a surname. And not one that works as a first name. Actually... Jonas and Hadley are also surnames. So I'm going to suggest some surnames that may work better as a first name.

    Harrison
    Brennan
    Carson
    Clay
    Donovan
    Fletcher
    Hudson
    Anderson
    Brooks
    Davis
    Sawyer
    Sullivan
    Cameron
    Adler
    Cooper
    Austin
    Callahan
    Jackson

    Some other suggestions:
    Elliot
    Luca
    Nathaniel
    Dean
    Miles
    Rhys
    Silas
    Spencer
    Matthew
    James
    Henry
    Marcus
    Gideon
    Cormac
    Vincent
