That said, I do think Dean is a great name for a boy! I'm also partial to names that are unlikely to be misspelled (I have a common name with two equally common spellings, and people misspell my name at least 50% of the time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2678065 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:17:05 +0000 Cole 2678065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a little guy named Dean and it's such a great name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2678062 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:15:34 +0000 Boogs 2678062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dean!

Heads for Dean, tails for Silas. When that coin is in the air, usually your gut hopes for one over the other. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2678049 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:04:09 +0000 ElbieKay 2678049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We almost named our son Elias (nickname Eli). I like how Silas sounds, but I associate it with Silas Marner and the story doesn't resonate with me. Other names we liked: Jeremiah (not chosen because we didn't like the nickname Jerry), Benjamin (not chosen because my cousin has that name), Theodore (nickname Theo, not Teddy). We wound up naming our son Tobias (nickname Toby). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2678019 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 13:08:31 +0000 Truth Bombs 2678019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emilye519: Dean is my dad's name and I've always loved it. I was scrolling down to support it and figured I would be the only one (I assumed Silas would be the top pick since it's very popular/trendy/hipster and that's the way a lot of HB leans) so I pleasantly share in your surprise over the love for Dean!</p> <p>ETA: The only reason I didn't use Dean as my son's name is because my brother was due with a baby boy a week before me and in our childhood had often talked about naming his son Dean (my brother and my grandfather share a name, so it would then be alternating namesakes). My brother ended up using Dean as his son's middle name. And I actually used my brother/grandfather's name as my son's middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2678015 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 13:02:43 +0000 emilye519 2678015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pancakes it honestly surprises me! It isn't a super popular name and my husband is really close to that grandfather so I think he would be so proud to name his son that - I'm not sure why we didn't think more seriously about it before. It's sort of an old guy name to me but I think that's because I don't really know any younger men or kids named Dean.</p> <p>I liked the name Silas a lot but am really not thrilled with the association with duck dynasty and we live in the South. I like Eli but both mine and my daughter's names start with E and it feels too matchy for us all to have E names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2678003 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 12:45:13 +0000 Pancakes 2678003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emilye519: I also really like Dean. FWIW, I think Evan is too close to Everly, anyway. What's your reaction to all the Dean love? Does that make you excited, or disappointed that another name hasn't gotten more votes? I think listening to your gut that way can help you figure out which name you really love best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2677962 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:59:48 +0000 emilye519 2677962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27 that's what I'm hoping!</p> <p>@mrs.lemon-lime I guess we do like short names, I hadn't thought about it before but you're right!! I like Evan but it's my boss's name so that might be weird 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2677952 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:51:07 +0000 schubr03 2677952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for Dean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2677945 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:47:16 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2677945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dean!</p> <p>Evan and Drew also seem to fit with your short names, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-boy-name-help-2#post-2677920 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:25:49 +0000 psw27 2677920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aw Dean is so cute!
