Name Inspiration

Throw at me your strongest baby boy names that are as far down the Top 100 or completely off it without being too "out there." (i.e. No weird spellings, apostrophes, etc lol)

One name that DH and I loved was Logan - and then he found out the name meaning ("from the hollow") and he proclaimed that it "lost it's luster" for him. It also was pretty high in the Top 100 in 2012.

MN is going to be David after DH. 

TIA...we had a million in one girl's names that we liked and we are just struggling with even coming up with a general idea for a boy. lol

You girls are awesome. :)

  • We were going to use Braxton if we had a boy. I am bad with names. I went through lists and lists of names and wrote down the ones I liked and then had DH choose from those :)

  • Haha - I spent a lot of time looking/thinking about names.  A few more that came to mind...Archibald, Linus, Louis, Arthur, Sebastian, and Nolan.

  • Ooo, I really like Garrett. Going on the list @bobcee

    Reid was at the top of my list but one of my BFFs (who we see on a weekly basis) named her little boy Reid. He's 3mo.

  • I love the names Isaac and Simon, but my husband was only "eh" on them, so they were off the table if this baby had been a boy. Boy names were really hard for us; we chose our girl name super quickly and struggled with boy names for two years.

  • I have a name I love but will probably never use. It is Winslow. I think it works better for a girl NN Winnie but I don't know.

  • We chose Rosie's name by looking at old census reports from 1890-1920. Rosalie was one of the top names back then and we fell in love with it. I'd definitely read through the old censuses. http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/decades/index.html They also have the top 100 names over the past 100 years http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/decades/century.html

  • We had a really hard time with boy names and since we were team green we still hadn't decided on one when I went into labor!

    My favorites are Caleb, Nathan, Lucas, Garrett, Ian. But some of those are pretty high on the SS name list.

    We have our boy name picked out, Patrick Scott.

    We also considered Keith Scott and William Scott. Keith and Wiliam are both grandparent names.

    Scott is DH's late uncle's name, he passed a few weeks after we announced our pregnancy to family. He was a huge influence to DH. Patrick is because I'm half Irish.

    Girl names are another story. We can't agree at all.

    I like older names; Maggie, Grace (Gracie), Cora, and Ruby.

    H can't even think of a girl's name he likes.

  • We pretty much have our boy name picked. Not locking it in until he actually gets here but it's Arthur Nelson.

    I also like Whit, Edward, Oscar, and I also like Oliver. However, we named our dog Oliver so that's already taken. : )
