Boy's names are so hard! I'm not in love with any at the moment so I need some help!! DP is so difficult and picky so I want to make a shortlist and then he can choose from it.
Criteria: There's no particular theme so far, but prefer traditional and/or biblical names. Not too common or trendy, yet not so unusual or archaic that it's never heard of. Surname is M.ead - do you think first names beginning with M sound bad? I.e. Mason M.ead...I really like Mason, but it doesn't seem to go all that well with the surname. Also, is it too "trendy"? Any suggestions and opinions are very much appreciated! So far we have:
I'm not a fan of alliteration in names, but I reckon that's personal preference. If you like Mason, there's no reason not to use it! I don't think it's very common?
Here's some biblical suggestions for you:
Jonah
Noah (though this one is getting more popular!)
Levi (my DH LOVES this one. We're likely to use it if our baby's a boy.)
Eli or Elijah
Timothy (one of my faves. I know, it is quite common, but a traditional classic IMO.)
Samuel
Jacob
Isaac (some lovely variations of this one from other languages. I love Isaak, pronounced 'is-ah-c')
ETA: Sorry for the repeats - I took too long to post!
Oooh thanks girls, great suggestions! I'm loving Levi!
And yep, girls names are so much more easier and prettier! But alas, it's a boy!
Danielle, Tobias/Toby is such a cute name!! DP's mum actually suggested it not long ago but DP doesn't like it If we have a girl in the future, I am sooo choosing!
Snacks, I agree, I don't really like the same initials, I just needed someone else to agree with me! So I guess Mason and all other M names are out!
I also like Ethan and DP likes Charlie!
Okay, so far I've got:
Levi
Charlie
Ethan
Leon
Caleb
Jackson/Jaxon
Dominic/Domenic
Kenan
We had a hard time with boys names too ... infact up until our baby was born we still had no boy's name ... oh, luckily we had a girl and she saved us a huge headache ... So, i truely understand how you feel
I must say i absolutely love your choice in boy's names
I especially like Leon, Domenic, Kenan (one of my own choices when preg), and I reckon Mason sounds absolutely fine
I also like Kyran, Keenan, & Kian ... as you can see i like " K " names
