    What boy names do you like?

    edited February 6 in Chit-Chat
    Okay, so I actually don't know if I am having a boy or a girl yet. I have a girl's name already picked out and just want to pick a boy's name too. I probably wouldn't be too worried at this point except for the fact that I actually really think it is a boy and the fact that there is only 1 boy name I like and my husband already said no.
    I do not like short common names, (i.e. Fred, James, John, Bob) I like unique names.
    I don't want to give my child a name that is super popular right now either (so no Carson, Conner, Cooper or Luke)
    Anyone have any boy names they like that are really unique?

      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.

      When you pick one, tell it to a kid and ask them to make fun of it. Don't give your kid a name that will make their life a living hell. For example, a kid named Job will always have the word blow added to his name.

      Don't make your child hate you.

      This...naming kids is not the time to be unique.

      I like the names, Caleb, Isaac, Joshua, Conor, But naming a child is a personal thing.
      But also think about the Surname...

      I know a few with silly names, like "Conor O' Connor" , "Billy Williams ( William Williams )", "Stephanie Stephenson" LOL

      I like names like Nathaniel, James, Daniel, Matthew ...and no, not because they're bible based, that's a coincidence

      I also like MIchael, it was my late brother's name :)

      But I'm a big believer in making sure you have more than one name picked out...I think you should see/meet your little one before making the final decision, see if the name fits, but that's just me :)

      This times elleventy million....

      Honestly it's your kid and you'll do what you like, but avoid overly long names as they become a nightmare when filling out official forms.
      Avoid names that are hard to pronounce, it will cause teachers and the child themself hell.
      Avoid anything that can easily be taunted, or is hard to spell
