Boy names are so hard. Care to help?

We have a Jack. Far too popular for my taste but hubby just loves it and told me that whatever I chose to name him wouldnt matter - he would still call him Jack as a nickname. Way to back me into a corner huh?

I loved Max, Arthur, Miles and Ted

Boys names really are hard, There are so many lovely girls names, and girls names can more easily be changed or even made up. Boys names tend to be the same ones all the time, and it is more difficult to 'personalise' the name, iyswim. When we have DS1, we found it really hard to find names we liked, but since then we have had to think of 2 more! DS1 is Oliver Daniel, DS2 is George Ashwell and DS3 is probably going to be Arthur William. All are very traditional names, and all have links to our families. I often think it's a shame DS3 is not a girl, because I have a list as long as my arm of girls names I like!

I like the name Colin.

Irish in origin.  Not to popular that every child has it.  But popular enough that it is not off the wall. 

Serenity:

I like Owen and Carter. My sister has a 6 month old son and named him Landon. I think its an adorable name. My son is Trevor which is also Irish.

I love the name Landon!!

 My boys are Cole, Caiden and Kody..  If #4 is a boy, he will be Benjamin. I wanted to get away from the "C"sound..  haha   I am tired of confusig their names when calling them or getting after them!  Haha

I love the name Asher too, and Maddox but DH didn't want either one. He makes it real hard for picking out names.. 

The ONLY girl name I have gotten to agree with me on is Mattie     

I love the names Jack and Henry too..  and Alec.. hmm, I should run Alec by the DH.. haha  

My fiances oldest son is Skylar Leeland, Second Oldest son is James Michael, third son is Llogen Lee...He didnt get to help pick any of his sons names really, his only daughter is Sophia Rachelle, he got to pick her name, well they drew names out of a hat and his were the ones that came out, my first son is Thaddeus Curtis and our son together is Alexander Allen Wayne:D, hes got his daddies middle name and his great grandpas name:D the Alexander was just our fave, I wanted to call him Xander...but that never happened everyone called him alex lol....i didnt want an alex...i wanted a xander...Anyways..now were havn trouble comn up with boy names as well, owen is one of ours mostly because family..I loved pheonix and drake and stuff like that but he hates it...lol...I had abbigail grace as a girl name got taken by family, Had a Lillian rose, my favorite, taken by my fiance's ex, and our favorite together was Echo lynn...which his ex is taking for this new baby girl of hers...NOT very happy...so we came up with a new girl name that no one knows lol...Autumn Grace Lynn:D and it is family appropriate lol... so theres a few names lol...We are thinking if this is a boy maybe Owen Williams or something with the Owen...its the only name I like out of our family names and this time i promised my family this baby will have my family name as my other two boys have their biological fathers family names....Owen is my uncle...I wanted to use my grandpa name snce was so close to him but dont like his name lol..Frank Roger, and his birth middle name was ruben lol...Might do Owen Roger though o wait cant do that our last name is cook lol..hes be an ORC lol...hmmm...Owen Frank???IDK lol might do William Owen Cook as well idk but have at it:D

I too wanted 2 girls and 1 boy, but I am getting the same thing as you. I am excited now, but was sad at first. I like Carter the best. I was going to choose that for this new LO, but we decided to go with Landon. Good luck choosing a name and with the delivery!

My sons are Caden and Everett. We get lots of compliments on both. Our other choices were Quentin, Sawyer, Ryder, Cameron, Jordan, and Graham. Hope that helps!!!

I think your names are lovely! I've loved Carter for forever but none of my three boys suited it. My youngest was unnamed for a while until we could find the perfect name. We also go Celtic but Scottish more than Irish. Our littlest is Blair. I love the name Caleb for another boy. I like Connor but it is mega common here. And I've always loved Christian but my DP can't say it. Our girl name has always been Daisy. I like Owen more than Miles, though I met a very fat Owen once... lol. Funny how associations can put you off.

I have a Gaelic boy.. Caelen. 

 

Other names we liked and have used are:

Ryan

Collin

Caiden

Colton

Liam

 

 I have a Stephen Brandon Declan Niall Adam and Josh lol

I always wanted Aiden or Aidon 

My boys go to an Irish school and there are patricks, killen, tiarnean, rowen, owen, oisin, shaun, turlough, jonah, that I can think of off hand lol
