One of our choices is Thomas so I like that and I think from your options I like Graham. Good luck! Boys names are definitely hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1582174 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 22:36:55 +0000 BabyMats 1582174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: that was our criteria too!! our son's name is Gabriel as well! Was just going to suggest it.</p> <p>I like Finn &amp; collin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1582142 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 22:19:47 +0000 Mamasig 1582142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Gabriel and soon will have a Leonardo (Leo for short). I agree boy names are hard. My criteria was it had to sound good in Spanish and English </p> <p>Of your choices, I like Collin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1582138 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 22:16:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1582138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out of those names I like Sutter best! Colin and Finn are pretty popular (esp Finn) lately. And Thomas is a great classic name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1582076 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 21:44:29 +0000 winniebee 1582076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wesley, Tristan, Briggs, Grant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1581540 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 17:37:57 +0000 lady grey 1581540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel ya, I think boys names are so hard! Instead of Sutter, how about Saylor/Sailor, Stellen or Sullivan? I also really like Sawyer, as some others have already mentioned.</p> <p>Or Quinn instead of Finn? Or Felix, Oren, West/Weston. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1581487 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 17:17:23 +0000 artsyfartsy 1581487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Sutter!

I'm definitely going to bring up some of your suggestions to DH this weekend. And thanks for the reassurance that you wouldn't think twice seeing a little dark brown haired boy named Finn. That has been our front runner of the group, so it's comforting knowing that if we don't come up with anything that we love more, we would both be happy with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575919 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:57:33 +0000 MrsKRB 1575919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm partial to Colin because that's dh's name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575918 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:57:18 +0000 MamaBehr 1575918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy names suck! We really struggled. I have a Bennett and an Everett. Other names on our list (at various points) were Trent, Emerson, Henry, and Emmett</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575892 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:42:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 1575892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Sutton, a little more common then Sutter? </p> <p>Otherwise Sawyer, Colby, Clinton/Clint, Chase, Grant, Brody, Brady, Beckett, Nolan, Easton, Hudson? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575889 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:41:24 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1575889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsBadger: And I don't think Finn is weird -- like others said, how many of us google the meaning of other people's names? I don't even know what my name means :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575888 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:40:22 +0000 whenoceansrise 1575888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy names are so hard!</p> <p>Samuel, Oliver, Leo, Jace </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575884 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:38:39 +0000 mlm2934 1575884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I'm partial to Finn since our LO will be Finley - I think the full meaning is "fair warrior" so maybe you could work with that :P</p> <p>ETA: Oliver was my top pic but DH wasn't a fan. I love idea of "Ollie" as a nickname </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575880 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:35:59 +0000 wonderstruck 1575880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For what it's worth, I can't imagine Colin ever sounding like an unintelligible mumble, no matter what you pair it up with. And I would've had no idea what Finn meant if you hadn't said it - most people aren't really up on name meanings.</p> <p>We took FOREVER to come up with a boy name. My list is probably not your style, and most of them end with the same sound as Colin stuff like Declan, Ian, Evan, Ethan, etc., so I imagine you'd feel the same way about them pronunciation-wise. But some other names I liked that you could possibly like are Asher, Eli, Oliver, and Grant (not sure if that's too close to Graham for you.) Also wanted to recommend this website where you plug in names you like and it gives suggestions based on that: <a href="http://www.nymbler.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nymbler.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575877 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:34:49 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1575877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in the same boat! But I'm only 28 weeks :-)</p> <p>We really like the name Jack but it doesn't fit with our last name. We also are considering Thomas, Daniel, Matteo, Adrian, and Miles. Not *in love* with any of them at this point though...</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575875 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:34:30 +0000 Mrs tartan 1575875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finley Thomas? I think that's lovely, and who ever knows what a name means apart from their parents? Have you ever googled anyone else's name but your own to see what it means? Me either.<br /> Graham and Colin are quite Uk sounding names, others possibly - James, Harry, Oliver, William, Peter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575868 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:28:57 +0000 MediaNaranja 1575868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Milo? Different, but not too out there, and works better with the whole Italian/Mexican thing you have going on :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575859 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:25:41 +0000 prettylizy 1575859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our boy name was Theodore ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-stressing-over-boy-names#post-1575853 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:22:52 +0000 BadgerMom 1575853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am stressing over boy names. At this point I'm convinced that even though I'm only 32 weeks our LO is going to leave the hospital nameless.</p> <p>I had such good girl names. Names I loved! And then the ultrasound came, and he's and he and I've been shoving the name issue under a rug ever since.</p> <p>The only names I've found that either DH and I like are Finn, Sutter, Colin, and Graham. </p> <p>Graham is out, a close family member just named her baby boy that. DH really likes Colin, but with our last name, the two in combination literally sound like an unintelligible grumble of sound. I'm afraid Sutter may be a little to "different," and Finn means "fair" and there is no way our little boy is going to fit that description given our dominate genes from our partial Italian and Mexican heritage. So I can't decide if that is strange or not.</p> <p>I'd like to use Thomas (my dad's name as a middle name).</p> <p>Any ideas? :happy: </p>
