It was my grandpa's name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1099829 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 21:07:01 +0000 MsLipGloss 1099829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Reid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1099824 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 21:05:52 +0000 littlek 1099824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I like Reid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1099820 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 21:04:13 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1099820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: if this baby was a boy he would have been Harvey for sure!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1099604 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:03:56 +0000 erinpye 1099604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: you're kidding! Harvey and August have both been on our boys list since we were picking names for S! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1093392 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:52:31 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1093392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: Cool website!</p> <p>Cruz is my choice for a non-traditional name (although I think there's a Posh Spice child with that name). I also love the names Reid and Brooks and Pax (although it reminds me of the Jolie-Pitt crew). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1093386 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:49:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1093386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scout was on our boys list, still is!</p> <p>We really like Denver, Scout, Cruz, and Harvey. I like August, but it sounds bad with our last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1093369 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:38:17 +0000 Vegmama 1093369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love names like that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091877 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:59:36 +0000 swurlygurl 1091877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: That's my favorite name (Reid) if I ever have a boy &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091870 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:57:38 +0000 o0olibelulao0o 1091870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: haha no definitely not. I don't think there is any way I could take that person seriously if they had that name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091788 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:32:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1091788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: Yes, I forgot I knew a Dax and I like that name with my DD's. </p> <p>I forgot Emmett was also on our short list last time but I don't think thats really untraditional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091784 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:31:05 +0000 kjpugs 1091784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Hunter, Archer, Fisher, etc- but sad you can't use anything ending in -er or -en.</p> <p>I like Nash a lot! Don't like Dash because of Kardashians. Don't like Scout- it's a girl name to me.</p> <p>I like Colt/Colton, Ace, and Dax - Dax is close to Dash! I babysat a little boy named Dax about 6 years ago and he was ADORABLE and I just loved the name for him. His dad was almost named Dax (to the point where HIS dad made a cool wooden peice for his nursery but then they changed their mind- so then he gave it to his son to use when he chose Dax!) I think that would go well with your DD's name too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091771 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:27:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1091771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our other options we have out there right now is Reid </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091759 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:23:20 +0000 swurlygurl 1091759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@o0olibelulao0o: Oranjello! Please tell me you know someone with that name ;)</p> <p>I really like nontraditional boys names. I don't have any new suggestions, but I love every one that's been listed already. And, I also think of Scout as a girl name :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091718 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:13:22 +0000 chopsuey 1091718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We considered Dash for a middle name, but DH vetoed it because it reminded him too much of the Kardashians and their store. -.-<br /> DS' first name is tradition, his middle is untraditional! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091713 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:12:33 +0000 Dandelion 1091713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@o0olibelulao0o: Oranjello...ha!</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: I'm not crazy about Scout, but it sounds too much like a boy scout or a dog to me. But, I like a lot of the other ones. Dash is kind of cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091696 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:05:56 +0000 o0olibelulao0o 1091696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like nontraditional names all around, as long as they aren't TOO out there. Oranjello- no.... the ones you mentioned, yes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091679 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 07:57:49 +0000 MrsBrewer 1091679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dash reminds me of the Incredibles! I really love Fischer though!</p> <p>I like the somewhat nontraditional names, but like Mrs.Jacks said.....it can't be too out there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091677 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 07:57:01 +0000 hellobeeboston 1091677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: my LO's middle name is Archer! </p> <p>We talked about Dash for a while - but I got a few kardashian references which turned me off of it. Hmm.... the only names I can think of end in -er! We ultimately went really traditional! ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091668 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 07:52:26 +0000 Mrsbells 1091668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like fisher but I dont like scout or dash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091609 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 07:12:03 +0000 Koolbreeze 1091609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love untraditional boy names! One of my LO's name is Sawyer, which someone mentioned here. The other's name is much less common and we get a lot of mixed reactions but we love it and it fits him perfectly. </p> <p>And Scout is one of my favorite names ever, but for a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091595 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 06:51:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1091595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: I agree, I want something really masculine but not just "Michael". </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Yes, I agree, some of them go a bit far for me, even "Colt". </p> <p>My biggest problem is that I love names like this, but we cant do anything that ends in -en or -er. So @grizz: that knocks out Fisher even though I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091582 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 06:26:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1091582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ❤ Sawyer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091574 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 06:10:14 +0000 Cole 1091574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like them too! Have you tried Nymbler.com? I put in Dash, Archer and Fisher and got some cool options. My favorites that it gave were Mercer, Dempsey, Upton, Foster... Well I could list all day! There were others that I found way out there but in a way that would be intriguing if someone introduced their child as Burke or Eldridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091569 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 05:56:42 +0000 SweetMamaM 1091569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of our top boys names is similar so I am definitely a fan :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091523 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 01:54:51 +0000 loveisstrange 1091523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Archer, Fisher and Sawyer. I also like London as a boys name. </p> <p>I think Scout is super cute, but I do picture the girl from To Kill A Mockingbird, so it's not a male name to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091492 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 00:41:36 +0000 Arden 1091492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE Archer. We talked about the name Castle too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091488 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 00:21:36 +0000 anonysquire 1091488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like all 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/untraditional-boys-names#post-1091329 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 21:20:20 +0000 Emsmems 1091329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to high school with a Dash, he was a basketball player and sooooo dreamy (so I thought then)! So I like that name, haha! </p>
