First time mom here and struggling to agree with husband on a name for our baby boy due any day now!! Last name is VERY (starts with J) common so I’d like a unique first name, however, my husband prefers super classic/traditional names (he’d love a Jr if it were up to him). ANYWAYS- middle name will be David after my late father. I am concerned of picking a “trendy” name so it’s important to me that it has some originality but also appeases my husbands wishes for something classic.
Here is our short list:
Miles Cooper Beau Jonas
Would love anyone’s feedback as I know different names are popular or trendy in different areas. Thank you!!!!!!
Miles and Jonas are my favorites on your list with a slight preference for Miles. Have you considered Jonah?
There are tons and tons of traditional names that are very underused now, so your lo can still be unique but with a classic name.
Arthur (nn Art or Artie) Milo Graham Calvin Desmond (nn Des or Desi) Philip Victor Thaddeus (nn Tad or Thad) Frederick Simon Alfred Conrad August/Augustus/Augustine (nn Augie or Gus)
Look at this list of old fashioned baby names. Lots of good ones in there that are rarely used.
Cooper is definitely trendy. Miles, Jonas, and Beau are not. Miles is somewhat popular, though. Milo would be a fresher take on the same name if you want something more unique. Other suggestions for you:
Benjamin Clay Clint Guy Hugo Joseph Leo Max Mitchell Nelson Pierce Rhett Richard (nn Rick) Trey Vincent Warren William (nn Bill)
