Boy names

1medicwife · May 2016

Hey! Not a regular poster, but would love some sound feedback for baby boy #2.

LO is Garrett.

Baby brother:

Easton Joseph / Scott
Jamison / Jameson Scott
Anderson Joseph

My biggest question is .. which version of Jameson/Jamison? I prefer Jamison but my DH rather use Jameson. Are they pronounced the same to you?

MN options are family names; pending which first name is chosen.

TIA.

I like Anderson Joseph best.

Jameson Scott of the options although I don't like any of them as much as Garrett

I like Joseph as a first name over the choices given.

Maybe Anders instead of Anderson? I'm just not loving this whole surname that ends in -son trend.

From your list, I like Jameson Scott.

I much prefer the spelling Jameson. If the spelling were to be Jamison, I think the potential for the NN Jami would be much higher, and I much prefer the NN James.

To go with Garrett I like Easton Joseph best from your list, followed by Jameson Scott. Not a fan of the Jamison spelling (my brain wants to pronounce that Jam-ih-son instead of Jame-eh-son)

Easton is a place name. It actually means "a town in the east." Place names are pretty trendy right now, you run the risk of it being seen as dated and out of style when the trend goes away eventually. Also, it's a place name, not a person name.

Jameson/Jamison is an example of the "last name as first name" trend, which also runs to risk of seeming outdated a generation from now. Of the two, Jameson is better, because it actually has the name James in it and means son of James.

Anderson Joseph is also a "last name as first name" thing, but I like it a little better than the other choices. It means son of Anders or Andrew.

Maybe consider Andrew Joseph -- a rock-solid classic name. I think Andrew goes with Garrett better than any of the choices you listed.

Jameson Scott

For the spelling issue, it's Jameson.

For my preference, I'm not into any of them. These are all names where the meaning of the name is phonetically spelled out in the name itself.

Easton = East Town = A town in the East.
Jameson = James' Son = The son of a man named James.
Anderson = Ander's Son = The son of a man named Ander or Andrew.

I'm not overly driven by a name's meaning but it's hard to ignore when it's staring right at you. Of the three I guess I'd go Easton. Squicks me out seeing little boys named as "the son of" men who aren't their father.

Jameson is a whiskey where I'm from!
I'd prefer Ethan, James or Andrew to go with Garrett

Jamison/Jameson. No preference on spelling.
