Need help brainstorming baby names

By Goldendoodle Dec 27, 2012

Hello! My husband and I will be TTC very soon and are brainstorming baby names. I need the baby names to start with certain letters to honor relatives that have passed away. Our last name is common and ends in -er.

Letters I need to use are:
C, M, or R.
Please help me brainstorm names! I definitely want use the C for a first or middle name.
These are names that I like so far: Madelyn (girl), Riley (girl), Carter (boy), Max (boy).
Side note, Does Carter ----er (our last name) sound funny?
Thanks!

I'm totally into names, but it might help to have a little more guidance. Do you have an era that you prefer? Modern names? Resurgent names? Trendy or timeless? Certain sounds?

-The er er thing can work in very specific situations. You can talk to bee @Princessbaby: about that particular combo

Carter was on our boy list too and we have an -er last name. We ended up having a girl but a boy would have been Carter or Carson. Do you like Carson?

Thank you for the great suggestions! Some of those names were on my short list that I have and I add some.

@Mrs. Jacks- I tend to like modern, trendy names but would love to find an uncommon name that isn't too out-there. I think that Carter might work for a middle name but I'm beginning to think it might sound too rhyming for a first name. I need to find a boy's first name I love! I like Max but Max Carter doesn't sound right. My husband doesn't like Maxwell. It's easier for me to find girls names that I like than boys names.

@Mamamoose- Carson is on my list too! I love the name Carter more though.

@Goldendoodle: We also have a last name that ends in -er and we decided to nix all names ending in -er. I have heard some that sound ok together but we just decided it was too rhyme for us.

@ladyfingers: I like that site too!

@Goldendoodle: Try http://www.nymbler.com
I haven't looked at this site too much, but a friend posted about it on facebook. You can put in names you like and it generates more ideas for you.

Wow thanks for all the great responses! This is all really helpful!!! I am looking forward to bouncing these names off of my husband. We are both really excited!

@ladyfingers- I looked at nameberry last night and I think I need to look more into that website. Seems like there's a lot of suggestions on there.

@thehistoryofus- I think that might be a good idea to nix the -er names. I just love Carter so much, wondering if it would work for a middle name. Thank you for the suggestions! I like Coltin and Camden and added those to my list! I also had Camryn on it. I do like Ryan Carter, never thought of that one! I am going to check out babynamewizard now! Boys names are so difficult when you have to stick to certain letters!Thanks so much!!

@Creativemomma15- Thank you, I will check that site out!

@Mrs. Bells- I love the name Chloe!! My husband wasn't crazy about it but I am!!

@Mrs. Bird- I will look at babynamegenie now! Thanks!!
