I know a few people who are just named Tom, not Thomas.<br /> I also like Hugh/Hugo.<br /> In any case, I think a lot of short boy names will go well with your DD’s name, it’s so lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861517 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 13:34:28 +0000 nwm 2861517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>benno<br /> cayo<br /> march<br /> bosco<br /> luther<br /> amos<br /> roscoe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861448 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 07:20:26 +0000 Hypatia 2861448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grant<br /> Simon<br /> Clive<br /> Thorin<br /> Emmett<br /> Declan<br /> Owen<br /> Seth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861447 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 06:51:12 +0000 Amorini 2861447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy names are fun but, imo, hard to agree on.

I wanted not too common, but easy to pronounce because I have a unique/hard to pronounce name and it’s a pain.

We considered maya for a girl but didn’t use it, but if she has been a boy we probably would have gone with Xavier, nickname X. </p> <p>We had such a hard time coming up with our second kids name. We finally settled on a name we love but it’s so very popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861387 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 18:19:12 +0000 magnolia 2861387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I have an extremely obscure name that no one can pronounce or spell. I’d take a popular one any day. If you love it is all that matters </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861384 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 17:38:55 +0000 dc yoga bee 2861384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: I just think I'd always think of Ford cars. And my family really really hates Fords in particular! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861383 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 17:34:54 +0000 LBee 2861383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: thinking way too hard. Alternatively, I like Toyotas but didn’t consider it for a child’s name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861378 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 17:09:26 +0000 dc yoga bee 2861378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: That's the swiping one right? Yes, we did that and we both swiped on Ethan but then decided it's a back up if nothing else sticks. So, I like the name Ford. But I hate Ford cars! Am I thinking too hard?</p> <p>@magnolia: DH doesn't like Liam but he likes William. William is too traditional for me. My name was #1 in the 80's for years and years. I was one of three in my classes. I see another person with my name darn near everyday. I don't care about popularity vs. obscure. E in the beginning. Anything that remotely sounds like Elvis given our last name ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861376 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:59:33 +0000 magnolia 2861376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I like Liam too. It’s extremely popular right now. Every other kid at the school where I work is named Liam. </p> <p>Do you mean names ending in E or beginning? </p> <p>Luka? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861375 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:53:21 +0000 LBee 2861375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Have y'all tried the tinder for baby names app?

I'm looking for something trendy and hip? I also liked names like Elias, maybe Liam, Kai, Steffan. DH's favorites were Luke and Lucas. But, I thought those sounded rough on the tongue if that makes sense. E names with our last name are out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861373 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:43:06 +0000 magnolia 2861373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: hey I love a challenge ha! I’ve only ever known Ari and Morgan to be male.</p> <p>ETA to add<br /> Drew<br /> Felix<br /> Sandro<br /> Vigo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861369 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:39:58 +0000 dc yoga bee 2861369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@magnolia: I don't want to sound like I'm shooting everything down lol. Dh has said Max is a dog's name and he argues with me that Ari and a host of other names are actually "girl" names. He doesn't believe in unisex names. I loved Morgan for a while- come on Morgan Freeman is totally a man! I also liked Audrey which is a family name, but he says it's girl name. I'll give him that- the family member is a female lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861366 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:33:31 +0000 magnolia 2861366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Max is pretty traditional but short and cute</p> <p>How about Asa? Or Ari </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861365 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:29:06 +0000 dc yoga bee 2861365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raspberry: DH would say reminds him of Penn State and we are huge SEC fans lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861364 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:26:47 +0000 Raspberry 2861364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Penn? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2861362 Mon, 10 Dec 2018 16:20:52 +0000 dc yoga bee 2861362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eep! Three months later and we still don't have a name. We were set on Elijah for a while but it doesn't quite work with our last name. Reminds me of a famous King. Shamelessly bumping to see if anyone has any fresh ideas we may not have thought of? We have literally gone through the baby name book twice!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2841489 Fri, 24 Aug 2018 01:57:56 +0000 dc yoga bee 2841489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw these at work but didn’t have time to respond individually. I giggled thinking about Mick Jagger. And then there’s Hugh Heifner I believe.</p> <p>Dh did a complete 180 and suggested Langston and Benjamin. Not my style at all! This will be very hard to find a blend we both *love*. Or maybe, it’ll just be what can we live with. So far, we agree on Ethan or Luke. But, the baby doesn’t feel like a Luke. </p> <p>@cascademom: lol I know right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2841393 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 16:01:04 +0000 poppygirl15 2841393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One more!

I remember when you were expecting your daughter when I was expecting my second kiddo. I like Ethan on your list for obvious reasons. I liked the suggestion of other poet names too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2841319 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 12:03:43 +0000 SweetiePie 2841319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh growing up my mom babysat a boy named Webb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2841317 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 12:02:47 +0000 SweetiePie 2841317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: I love the name Hugh. It was near the top of my list but I decided we’re just not cool enough to pull it off 😂<br /> I went to high school with a Hugh (he was a couple years older) and his friends/all the girls called him Huey and I just thought it was so cute/cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/short-boy-names-1/page/2#post-2841316 Thu, 23 Aug 2018 11:57:28 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2841316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: and I have to smile at your post, because I had a student named Jagger, and his little brother was Jett!</p> <p>I like “Hugh” as a nod to Langston Hughes! </p>
