Name that baby....

So we are stuck! We do not have a name for our baby boy. I like lots of names, but Ryan only sort-of likes three names and I'm not very excited about any of them. Ryan likes more traditional names, I like something a little more trendy. I also really want it to go with Christian and McKenna's names since I'll be saying all three of their names together for the rest of my life (you know what I mean??) So give me your thoughts. Leave a comment and let me know what you would name your baby boy if you had one. We need help! It's driving me crazy that we are still referring to the baby as "baby."

Loving all these comments!!! Keep 'em coming! I've got a few now that I want to talk to Ryan about when he gets home. Okay, so do you want to know the name I really love and Ryan hates??? My mother will probably be on his side. Ha! I love the name Colton. Then we could Christian, Kenna and Cole! Love it. He hates it. I guess it's time for me to move on and find something else I love.

I can completely sympathize with you...Baby Girl doesn't have a name here either...we are between two. It is driving me crazy!

What about "son" names? I personally love them...obviously!

Harrison, Anderson, etc...

oh man...I feel this pain. We just recently decided on a boys name (we've had the girl name...they are much easier to pick). Daniel wanted traditional and I always pick something that is more unusual.

Hmmm...so I don't really have any suggestions...but I know it will come to you. Are there any Biblical names that you like? I love Micah...daniel won't go for it.

PS...I am always open to girl suggestions as well:)

I think maybe sports type names, after all the boys in ur family are baseball fans:) Maybe: Fen, Wrigley, Shay, Camden I figured Ryan would like this idea.

if we had a boy, his name would have been Sean Patrick Kennedy.....big on Irish names here. I am drawing a blank her but maybe you could come up with a traditional name that lends itself to a nickname......example James could be called Jay. Or Paul John and you could call him PJ. You still got a little while to decide, so don't panic yet!

Sorry for all the errors in my last comment.....not feeling well and did not proof read before I hit the send button.....hope you can figure out what I meant......if not just hit delete!

it gets harder with each one doesn't it? I think it would be fun to have something with a "c" or a "k" sound to it - since that's the common denominator between Christian and McKenna. Maybe Caleb :) ? Or Cody or Cooper....i say all of those (i really do love them) but I tend to be more traditional with my names too. david LOVED Judah/Jude for a boy and REALLY wanted that one! :)

I love both Cooper and Camden, Kennedy, Kyle are two other ones I like. Naming kids is hard!! Hang in there. I can't wait to hear what you pick!!!

Aggiema (Michelle) said...

I totally agree with Heather on at least two of those names.....Kyle and Kennedy.......after all I married him!

when I was pregnant with Mason (before we knew he was a boy) I would follow links through blogs, checking out the names of kids! Most of them were southern girls since I wanted a 2-name combo if it was a girl!

I still love William or Shepherd or both together, after my dad. I could live with Colton. I'm not crazy about Camden, but I like Cameron. I also love David, Judah, and Michael. Just some thoughts.

I love Cole....but of course I would love the name Kohl!!!

Christine said...

I think that a K or C sound in the beginning is pretty important. You should ask Christian what he thinks - I bet he'd come up with some pretty good ideas :)
