Okay I am 25 weeks pregnant with a boy and need some ideas!

Right now the middle name will most likely be Isaac, thats his dad's middle name.

As of now I like:
Hunter
Eli
Dexter

Some ideas! They don't even have to have any of these names in it!

Thanks for some ideas!

    I'm the opposite- I'd totally choose Dexter b/c I loooove the show. In fact if I ever was pg again with a boy, I'd name him Dexter. I just love the nickname Dex as well.
    Harrison is also cute as well and different.

    well since names are so personal giving you one would be very hit or miss.

    however, if you really like the name Isaac for the middle name i would suggest that the first name have either 1 or 3 syllables since having two names with two syllables in a row might sound "sing-songy" and i would also suggest that the first name NOT start with a vowel sound since the middle name already does. when names are more dynamic they (in my opinion) have a better ring to them

    have i made it complicated enough already??

    If my daughter had been a boy, we would were thinking of Isaac Nathaniel. So maybe your little one should be Nathaniel Isaac! :)

    I also love the names Rowan, Jacob, Cole, Owen, and Tristan.

    Congrats on your pregnancy! I wish you a healthy and happy next several months!

    I have a Keaton Owen and a Carter Mark!

    If I had other boys....my "k" sound would continue with Cooper, Clayton, or Corbin.

    Congratulations on your baby boy!

    I think Kaiden, Brayden, Hayden, Aiden (you get the idea) is played out. A lot of people around me have named their babies one of those names, but maybe where you are, it's not as popular.

    My best friend just named her baby boy Wesley and calls him Wes.

    I love Liam, Jace, Jackson, Perry, Jameson.



    Much luck to you!!

    Of the 3, I like Eli best. My wife and I kind of worked over a list until we were down to a few. Then, for me, names stood out more when I could connect them to someone I liked or admired. I named my now 18 year old daughter Emma after a person she has never met and I haven't talked to since shortly after Emma was born. Doesn't matter, I still like the name

    We have a Benjamin coming (if it's a boy) so I obviously like that name! =) ... Benjamin Levi actually ... so I vote for that ... lol :) ... I've always loved Levi as it means a lot to me (Biblically) but on a retreat I had recently (Walk to Emmaus) for many reasons Benjamin really spoke to me so that's our plan ... can always use company!!! =)

    Caleb and Joshua were our other top runners!

    agreed and Elijah! I don't know about Dexter though... I've watched too much of that show! I will forever relate the two.

    I love Eli, because that's my baby's nickname, Elijah is his full name. But, I think Eli and Isaac are overkill together. I liked Isaiah, but grouped with Eli it didn't work. I agree with the poster who said you need either a 1 or 3 syllable name. So, James, Jameson is nice for 3 syllables. I am out of ideas. hahaha, but you get the picture. 1 or 3 syllable and I'm sure it will go beautifully with Isaac. Isaac is beautiful, btw.

    I'd also steer clear of 2 vowel starts in a row (Eli Isaac doesn't roll off the tongue as easily as Hunter Isaac or Dexter Isaac)

    Dexter has both good and bad connoctations right now, he was a smart and clumsy child genius in Dexter's Lab cartoon, and he's also a smart and cunning serial killer in the series many mentioned already. These are social icons still fresh in many people's minds, and while it may not effect the life of the child in any major way, it is something to consider.

    Also, since many people do not mention middle names, see how the first name rings with your last. I always enjoyed that both my first and last name have 5 letters and 2 syllables. I did NOT enjoy that I can't shorten Sarah to anything cool (like Mackenzie got to be called Mackie, and David was called Dave).

    Very personal and all up to you!

    I have two boys : Talan and Tarren.

    We were considering Quinten and Grayson for a while.

    Our names are so common we wanted something a little different for the kids. We went with common names for their middle names, just in case at 15 they were like I DO NOT like this and then they could just go with their middle names...do I think that would happen? No, but I felt comfortable rationalizing with myself that way!!

    alright alright alright! i cave! i surrender!:happy:

    i think Luke or Pierce would sound nice with Isaac.
    (and although this one breaks my usual rules; i also think Clinton would work quite well)

    First of all, CONGRATS! :happy:

    Now...just remember you're naming someone who will be an adult for the vast majority of his life. Please, for his sake, don't name him a cute toddler name. lol I love Hunter but I feel bad for the grown-up Hunters. ;p

    Slightly unique is good, too! But, I'm biased. ;)
