I've never met a girl named Aiden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help/page/2#post-2052744 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 16:05:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2052744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>well since my LO is Liam I love William, but I also am a big fan of Aidan, I feel both are good names for children and men :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help/page/2#post-2052672 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 15:24:42 +0000 simplyfelicity 2052672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I will definitely suggest it!<br /> @ValentineMommy: Apparently, Ethan is the name of the worst student he has in his classes this year. #teacherproblems<br /> @GoGoSnoGirl: Thanks for the suggestions! :happy:<br /> @Shutterbug: I guess what I mean is that we will call him Liam but he can be William professionally, when he gets his diploma, during his wedding ceremony etc. (boy am I thinking ahead! :silly: ) So, if someone asks me his name, I would say "William Lobber" but call him Liam for short. I am not sure if that makes an ounce of sense., haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help/page/2#post-2051872 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 10:39:17 +0000 Shutterbug 2051872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing with William/Liam is that if you plan to call him by his nn, he'll be "Liam Lobber" at school, etc, so still the double L. FWIW, I don't mind the double L... sort of sounds like a pro athlete or a celebrity or something :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help/page/2#post-2051830 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 10:04:24 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2051830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I love Aiden, too &amp; if we were having a boy, would be top of my list. How about Keegan? Friends of mine have a boy named this, otherwise that'd be on our boy list, too.<br /> ETA: I do like both Ian &amp; Ethan, too... :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help/page/2#post-2051622 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 06:49:43 +0000 ValentineMommy 2051622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Your DH needs to come around to Ethan Lawrence. It's my fav. I think it sounds great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help/page/2#post-2051580 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 00:38:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2051580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Truman? It sounds so good with your last name, and you never hear of the name Truman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help/page/2#post-2051579 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 00:27:48 +0000 simplyfelicity 2051579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady grey: Agreed! Well, his favorite is Aiden...I have only known girls with that name though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help/page/2#post-2051574 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 00:10:28 +0000 lady grey 2051574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I like that Ian also has a softer feel, like Ethan, but is still a pretty "manly" name. Which does your DH like better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help/page/2#post-2051571 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 23:56:45 +0000 simplyfelicity 2051571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady grey: We do like Ian! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051568 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 23:45:48 +0000 lady grey 2051568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Ethan sounds great! Here are some more to consider:<br /> Bennett<br /> Grant<br /> Brigham<br /> Toren<br /> Ian</p> <p>Also really like Finn, which was already suggested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051566 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 23:44:22 +0000 simplyfelicity 2051566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I agree! Either William Lawrence _______ or William _________ Lobber would work but not both. I feel like Ethan Lawrence Lobber was ok because there are no Ls in Ethan. Unfortunately, changing our last name maybe a no-go with DH... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051565 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 23:37:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2051565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: William Lawrence is great... very royal sounding, but the last name is definitely a non-negotiable! ;)</p> <p>For me, the -TT ending of the last name killed about half the names we liked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051563 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 23:23:25 +0000 simplyfelicity 2051563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Yeah...it *may* be negotiable. Sorry, there seems to be so much back and forth with names. Naming a human is not easy! :silly: I actually like William Lawrence...our last name is just such a hindrance.</p> <p>Eta: Thank you for your help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051561 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 23:19:21 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2051561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: so I was thinking Lawrence was a non-negotiable. It was the hardest challenge for me in finding a suitable name for you. If it's not untouchable, whole new worlds open up... But as someone who is struggling to work with a family name myself, I just assumed we were going to make Lawrence work with Lobber :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051552 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 23:00:05 +0000 simplyfelicity 2051552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Might need to rethink Lawrence as a middle but the L in William doesn't bother me that much with our last. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051550 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:55:22 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2051550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: that works :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051534 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:22:43 +0000 simplyfelicity 2051534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Ok...thoughts on William Lawrence Lobber? Then, we could use Liam as a nickname. It's been suggested before but "spoke" to us this evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051369 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 19:56:24 +0000 Irishmom 2051369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Ethan is a great name. Also think Kiernan is a great choice. Another idea: Cormac. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051346 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 19:33:49 +0000 Tanjowen 2051346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Corban, Caleb, Kevin, or Deacon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051254 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 18:36:06 +0000 simplyfelicity 2051254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Duly noted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051176 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:26:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2051176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: It's a super cute name, but it's also the name for the priestly tribe in Judaism. Many Jews find it insulting that people are co-opting a sacred name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051173 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:25:37 +0000 CakeLady 2051173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: @whenoceansrise: If I recall correctly Cohen/Kohen is the hebrew word for priest. It is also one of the three tribes of ancient Israel - Kohen, Levi, and Yisrael. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051150 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:06:03 +0000 whenoceansrise 2051150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: @Torchwood: I didn't know that either! I have a friend with a son named Cohen and just thought it was a cute name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051140 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:00:05 +0000 rachiecakes 2051140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Colton, Ronan, Brendan? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051128 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 16:51:50 +0000 Torchwood 2051128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: At the risk of revealing my ignorance, why is that? I've never even heard the name Cohen, so I don't know any connections it has. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051041 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 16:15:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2051041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@whenoceansrise: Cohen is not a great name from the perspective of Jews. It would be like naming your non Christian baby Jesus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051019 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 16:01:55 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2051019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bubbles: those are the exact two names i was going to suggest!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2051000 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 15:55:15 +0000 whenoceansrise 2051000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Cohen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-gurusi-need-your-help#post-2050984 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 15:49:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2050984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I said them all with the middle name to get a feel and Quinn and Shea sounded best... But I agree Quinn is the better of the two. </p>
