I was just trawling through some of the older posts on BB, and someone had recommended Nymbler for baby names. I'm using it right now to find some names to put to DH :) You put in some names that you like and it recommends names based on those. I'm looking up girls' names based on the boy name we've picked and our names ;)
There's also babynamesworld, they're okay but some of the names they toss up are a bit... bizarre at times.
Some of my favs..
Orson (obviously)
Memphis
Logan
Roman
Marcus
Jeffery
Gabriel
Phoenix
ours was gonna be jaxon
i was going to suggest nymbler too. put in any girls names you like, or boys names you like and maybe cant use for one reason or tuther, and see if anything comes up that takes your fancy
Just cos I'm in a missing West Wing kind of mood :), here's some:
Josh/ Joshua
Toby
Leo
Charlie
Sam
Josiah / Jed
Will / William
Matt / Matthew
And the actors:
Bradley
Richard
John / Jonathon
Dule
Rob / Robert
Martin
Jimmy / Jim / James
Checked out Nymbler - funky, but not sure it makes the process easier or harder :) FWIW, DH & I have always loved Zachary and Joe. I think Angus, Michael and Jonas are good names too.
Other boys' names I've liked:
Oscar, Connor, Reuben, Jesse, Jared, Lucas, Lachlan, Atticus, Jake, Darcy, Caleb, Jeremy, Rory,
When you imagine standing at the door yelling at him to come inside to clean his room, what sounds right? That's one of the ways I test how a name sounds. Also, how would it sound on football commentary (cos according to DH, our son will be a footballer one day :)) - not sure if that's a dream of yours of course.

thats exactly what we do lol and we say all the kids names together lol im glad im not the only one whom yells random names to test them lol:
Some of our other options for DS were:
Lachlan
Lincoln
Lucas (**no we didn't intentionally choose L names, they were just the ones we liked!)
Callum
Hunter
Tobey
Noah
Owen
Aden
Gabriel
Jeremy
Good luck. We had a really difficult time trying to decide on a boys name!
im lost completley i just seem so fussy dont want to have to settle, thanks for your suggestions.:
It's not being fussy to want to give your son the perfect name for him! DH and I had a terrible time trying to agree on names. We disagreed on alot!:
What kind of names do you like, maybe that will help us choose some that you like.
oh thats the best question and worst one as well, what do we like NOTHING :redface: what have we not debated over and think its k hrmmmmm eli but feel it needs a second bit to go with it but dont know what. What names we love none, was hoping on a girl maybe abit to much lol:
i'm in the same boat.... we don't have any names picked at all..... we have given up and are going to wait and see what we think once we see him.... could be nameless for quite a while!
What are your other kids names so we can get an idea of the style you like?
With Eli, you could have Elijah and call him Eli for short.
due to some ppl i can give out exact names but we have 2 j names and 3 names that end with ey sounds, elisha is a middle name for one of my kids. all the names picked are soft names. All kids have eithor 5 or 6 letters to name too.
just relised goes 5 letter, then 6 letters then 5 letters then 6 letters with the kids in order of age
Do you like traditional (like William, Thomas...), modern (Cruz, Axl), old fashioned (Gerald, Robert).......
what ive come up with that might grow on me is eli cruz as a first name does that sound right? what modern name could replace the cruz bit any idea's im surprised you came up with the same as we did. maybe God is telling me something.:
I love Eli. Not a fan of Cruz, but Eli Cruz goes well together. And I'm pretty sure I know your littlest mans name (starts with a J??) and I think it goes well with his name.
Eli Tate
Eli Blake
Eli Gage
Eli Finn
