My son is Aaron - even though its actually quite far down on the popularity list of names, people always tell me its such a classic. We just used it cause its my grandfather's name.
-
@2PeasinaPod: some of these have already been suggested, but I like:
Adam
Graham
Franklin
Fredrick
Oliver -
My nephew is a Henry and it totally suits a little boy. Congrats on having a boy, btw. So happy for you!
-
@2PeasinaPod: scouring this list as we need a boys name! So tough! I like Ethan a lot, DH doesn't love. I also really like Henry. Also Leo, Tyler, Hunter & Oliver....
-
Peter
Paul
Luke
Jonathan
Mark
Andrew
Thomas
Michael
Greg
Nathaniel
Joseph
Daniel
David
Patrick
Scott -
You guys are so great! These are all really great names, and we've got a ton of ideas!
My DH really has the worst taste in names. While he didn't veto Everett completely, he wasn't a huge fan. I kept it on.
-
I love Joel, Caleb and Levi - they're all classic biblical names but not super popular
-
@2PeasinaPod: he's a tough one, isn't he?!
-
@2PeasinaPod: what about Emmett?
-
@2PeasinaPod: update please! Did your DH approve of any of the names suggested here? Share your working list with us.
(Obviously I'm obsessed with name posts) -
@lady grey: Sorry, I missed your comment! Here is our working list at the moment with nothing jumping out at us like LO#1's did:
John (Jack)
Louis
Ryan
Mark
Benjamin
Harrison
Thomas
Everett (DH isn't a big fan, but I'm hoping I can sway him)
Adam
Joseph
Marshall (NN: Marty)
Calvin (Cal) -
@2PeasinaPod: just curious b/c it was sort of on our list too, how would you pronounce Louis?
-
@mrscobee: We were going with Louie rather than Lou-is (with the hard s).
-
@2PeasinaPod: great choices!!!
-
I love Henry! DH and I don't agree on many names either, I'm also a fan of the classics. Good luck!
-
@2PeasinaPod: cool! you have a pretty long list to work with. I think Everett, Adam and Calvin are my favs. Good luck swaying your DH on Everett! Would he consider Emmett?
-
@lady grey: I don't think so...reminds us both of Back to the Future
-
@2PeasinaPod: Marty reminds me more of back to the future than Emmett! Haha. Good list!!!! We have zero names still.
-
Resurrecting this thread as we're getting closer! Ironically enough Henry grew on DH a ton and it's on our short list.
Our working list is now:
John (Jack) - DH thinks John is too plain, but loves Jack. I tend to agree with him, but love that there are so many strong Johns in my life.
Andrew - I got over the fact that I had a really bad boss with the same name. We also love that it's a strong Saint's name (we're both religious).
Henry - hooray for DH changing his mind on this one. Neither of us are sold on Hank, but we don't think this will be as common or obvious of a nickname than say shortening Thomas to Tommy.
Calvin - our hang up with this one is that our last name ends in "in" too. But we love the nickname Cal.
Asher - this one was added last night. I feel like it's becoming really trendy, but both DH and I like it which is unusual. We also both love Ash as a nickname.
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Thanks for the Calvin suggestion
