I need some honest input.

And I know y'all will be honest with me. These are the current top names we have picked out for #2...

Grayson

Bennett

Parker

Middle name will be Daniel and DS's name is Cooper. 

Thoughts? 

Re: I need some honest input.

  • I like Grayson but I think it will start to become really popular (re: Grayson Chance). If you're ok with a popular name (assuming my thinking is right, I could be totally wrong!), I say go for it.

    Bennett sounds old to me. And it makes me think of Tony Bennett, and my college dorm freshman year was Bennett Hall so I associate it with that lol.

    I really like Parker--super cute and I think it would also work well when he's older. Overall, I'm a fan of Parker and Grayson, not so much Bennett. I think they both flow well with Daniel, too.
  • We are going to name our boy Grayson, if we have a boy. I love all the names though! I think Bennett sounds great with Daniel. I love older names, they are definitely making a comeback.

    I had to google Grayson Chance and then I knew who he was. I didn't even think about Tony Bennett. I'm glad you pointed that out. Another thing about Bennett.... DH's cousin's (who we never see.... maybe once every two years) son's name is Bennett and he is Cooper's age. I don't know if that matters, but there it is. 

    Thanks Jamie!! 

  • I really love Parker!

  • I love Bennett and Parker, however, I am more into classic names so I will toss out this suggestion...what about giving him the first name of Daniel?
  • Parker, because Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

    If Daniel is a first name option, I really like the sound of Daniel Parker.

    No problem Wink. Oddly enough, DH is the one who mentioned Grayson Chance--he must have had his fill of him on the news because he does NOT keep up with that kind of thing lol.
  • Parker is my favorite.  They are all good names though Smile

  • Apparently Parker is out. I thought H liked it, but last night he told me he didn't. It looks like we're down to Grayson or Bennett!

    Oh, and I don't want Daniel as the first name. My cousin and uncle's names are Daniel and it would seem like I was naming him after them. And, I always think of them when I hear Daniel. But, H really likes it so I've agreed to use it as the middle name.

  • I vote Grayson. To me Bennett is an old name.

  • Bennett is my favorite.  But, I like older, less popular names.

    Tavia, given that you all are an OU oriented family, Bennett seems like a nice choice. 

  • Also, I like that Bennett means "blessed." Grayson means "son of the gray haired" Tongue Tied

    LOL that does make Bennett seem a little more appealing.

    I like Bennett! Grayson reminds me of an old man, probably because there's a 70 year old that I work with named Grayson.

    Thats interesting. I can see why you may get away from the name Grayson and go with Bennett.

    I'm putting my vote in for Bennett. Although I did like Parker best eventhough your H vetoed it.
