    Ok my two favorite boys names are totally way out there but I love the names Reid and Tolliver. Unfortunately, I could never use Reid because my last name is Reed and well Reid Reed would just be awful. As for Tolliver, my husband had a friend that he always called Tolliver and for the longest time I thought it was his first name (turns out it's his last) but I always loved it.

    Nice, simple, modern sounding names. For example, Hezekiah, Mordecai, or Nebuchadnezzar.

    I love boy names (they're so much easier than girl names). I like more classical/biblical names, and I also like a few family names. I'm really going to have a problem deciding when I have kids.

    Emmett
    Matthew
    Levi
    Kenneth
    William
    Simon
    Henry
    Noah
    Elijah
    James
    Lawrence
    Victor
    Logan
    Jesse
    Isaiah
    Isaac
    Benjamin
    Sebastian

    My son's name is Tucker. I love it and it isn't very popular. I have a girl name ready if I ever get to use it but I've never seen another boy name that feels right yet.

    100% this. Of course, this is my kid's name. LOL

    If I were to have another boy, I would name him Will. Not short for Willam, just Will.

    I also like Aidan or Brodie.

    I am really wanting to know what boy name your husband nixed & what girl name you picked- congrats, BTW!!!!

    I do not like short common names, (i.e. Fred, James, John, Bob) I like unique names.
    This is cool, but know that picking a long and unique name instead of a short boring popular name could cost your kid $7 grand a year in future salary. Just sayin'. LinkedIn did a study:

    Of course, money isn't the only thing in life so it would be interesting to see a name study on love or happiness.

    Well when I thought I would have a boy someday ,I liked Bryce even my husband did , I'm however never going to have anymore kids and I only have girls so , hope someone else can use the name .

    congrats on your pregnancy and good luck with finding a name it will just hit you one day and you will be like why didn't I think of that before ..


    When I named my oldest I kept coming back to the same name even though others name would have been ok too and with my youngest well my husband named her , I like the name so it works .

    We have some what common names ourselves and extremely common last name so no crazy spellings .

    I have an Aubrey and Beauregard. I love Atticus, Titus, and Thor. Of course the kid would need to be totally badass to pull those names off!

    Thor, good strong name :-) If it wasn't for my German-sounding last name I would probably name my son Loki, but it doesn't fit very well with my last name.

    I've always loved the name Simon, Wilhelm and Theodor.

    I can mention some Danish names; Asger (Pronounced Asgar), Johan, Ludwig (not Danish, but it is kinda cool... Beethoven).

    I currently have an Aiden Lee and Dominic Andre`.

    My husband is a third, and I'd love to have a 4th, because it would be IV, and I'm a paramedic. ;)

    He however, wants "W' and "T' for first and middle name, because our last name begins with "F"

    After that, I'm partial to strong but different names. (my boys were named before the names became 'mainstream').

    Troy is the one name I really liked and wanted to name my boy and my husband said we could use it as a middle name but not a first. If it fits well with whatever first name I end up deciding I like he will have the middle name Troy.

    Another "theme" in our family is "tin." My husband, myself and my daughter have the syllable "tin" in our names. We have thought it might be fun to keep the trend going. Kestin, Coltin, Jaxtin, Martin ... are a few we have thought of.
    I am loving all the boy names, keep them coming if you think of more. I am writing down the ones I like and we will see what my husband thinks of some of them when he gets home.

    Oh, I like the 'tin' theme. Coltin, Tristin, Dustin, Ashtin, Astin, Claytin, you could go crazy with those names!

    Troy is the only boy name I really liked and really wanted, and my husband said absolutely not.
    I have a girl's name picked out but am toying with two different spellings, opinions?
    Aria or Areya?

    Doesn't have to not be short, just has to not be overly popular. I don't want anything nobody can spell or pronounce. My daughter has a short, simple, but not very common, first name and a common middle name with a unique spelling. Very few people ever have reason to need to know how her middle name is spelled. I have thought about this with a boy too, give him whatever crazy unique middle name I want and a simple first name. To the world, his name can be simple, and I could call him by both names, or the middle name as a nickname. It would also allow him to choose later in life whether he wants that unique name or the common name.
    I know people say to not call your kid by their middle name or to not let them go by their middle name in their professional life, because it causes confusion. But, I believe that is what the middle name is there for. I mean, your kid doesn't get to pick their own name, you pick it for them, they should at least have a couple options given them.

    Bryce is one my husband says I can keep in mind for a middle name, but not a first.

    Just pick something that people can actually spell. You would be amazed at the stupid names people give their kids, and names that their kids regret for the rest of their lives.

    This! Also, the whole Aidan, Jadyn, Caden, Braydon thing is tired in an extreme way (JMHO)

    I like Todd, Seth, Luke, Liam, Spencer, Miles, Christian, David...some weirder names I kinda like are Gideon, Kipling, Delaney, Errol.
