What to name our unborn son?

[HEFFA]

I've been searching the internet for weeks and arguing with the wife for days. Any suggestions on a good name?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. what kind of name?

[HEFFA]

7. No preference nationality wise, really. Maybe Irish? (nt)

[Alex146]

2. Howard Dean

or Dean Howard

;)

[specter]

3. Go to

http://www.nurseryroomprojects.com we have some names there to look at. Me and my wife are having the same delima were due on aug 4th.

[dolo amber]

4. I think Jarvis

is a crackin' good name. :)

[Must_B_Free]

5. My Suggestion

pivck a name with a prominent vowel sound that fits with your last name.

like rick smith, or steve beebe, joe cohen...

[Blue-Jay]

6. I've always liked Conner, Logan, and Thelonious.

<one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong....>

[HEFFA]

11. Connor or Conor are definitely on a short list right now. I like Logan

but then again, my last name is Barry. That's just cruel, man. The kid would get his ass kicked every day at school. Hell, if I'm gonna go that route, I might as well just name the boy Blue...or Dingle.

:evilgrin:

[Blue-Jay]

17. Logan Barry!

Too funny! I doubt he'd get an ass-kicking because the loganberry isn't something that a lot of kids know about. Still, he'd probably rather be known by his middle name, Mull.

[HEFFA]

19. LOL -- people could gather 'round him...so early in the morning.

[MAlibdem]

49. Harry

HARRY BARRY! I love it!

[BillZBubb]

8. Jefferson Clinton and your family name.

Jeff or Clint for short.

[ChompySnack]

9. Today is my son's first birthday

We named him Alexander. That was the name we both instantly liked.

[ET Awful]

10. I think you should name him . . .

Eric . . oh wait, that's my name :) Or you could name him after Quinn.

[specter]

15. Such a cute kitty !!!

[specter]

12. Most importantly

keep in mind school and the torment a kid can go through with a name like Richard Head etc....

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Benjamin James was the name we were going to give our last

little one. :(

I love that name.

[Auntie Bush]

37. Ben Gerry? Tasty sounding name.

They could nick name him Ice or Icecream after Ben & Jerry. Not such a good idea.

[Badger1]

14. Avoid the "now" names

Go traditional. I think Patrick (1) Daniel (2) Ryan (3) Please review choice 1. Patrick, thats it!

[demigoddess]

56. my favs

Reed, Reese, Rory. Rowan, at least they are different

[montana_hazeleyes]

16. Jesse,Dylan or

maybe Montana.

[Droopy]

18. Tobin

That's my handle and I like it pretty well.

[Chicago Democrat]

20. Tyrone or Wakeen

[BOSSHOG]

21. God's Gracious Gift

Name him John, you will be happy forever.

[DU9598]

22. Clint

Clinton James will be the name of my first son.

[deurbano]

23. Declan

[marigold20]

24. Bible names are always good

and something that the little guy (and his teachers) can spell and pronounce. Matthew, Mark, Jared, Samuel, Daniel, Joseph, etc. We went with Old Testament names - boring but never out of date. Or how about Kellen - I babysat for a cute, sweet, baby boy named Kellen and I've loved the name ever since.

[MAlibdem]

51. i just saw that on the website

"mighty warrior" how cool is that!

[Endangered Specie]

25. "Damnit..." (j/k) (actual suggestion in msg)

come here damnit
I love you damnit
damnit you are the best
damnit dont do that again!

actually, do like my name, take your wifes maden name, and make it the first name (or some other family name if it dont sound right)

[SiobhanClancy]

26. Brendan,Aidan,Ciaran,Colm,Donal,Padraig,Fionn

some more good Irish names:)

[Auntie Bush]

38. I'm glad I'm not one of your kids.

Brendan is OK...but the others!!!!! Give the poor kid a break!

He has to LIVE with it, spell it for everyone and pronounce it!

[SiobhanClancy]

47. Just good Irish names...

sorry you don't like them.

[SarahB]

27. I prefer classical, nontrendy names

My boys are Joseph, Christian, and Philip. :7

[mobuto]

28. Ezekiel, Ebenezer, Ephraim, Enosh, Erastus, Epaenetus

Just a few of the many great biblical names beginning with letter E.

This post brought to you by the letter E and the number 6.

[montana_hazeleyes]

31. Ezrah

also.

[wickerwoman]

29. Pick up a copy of "Beyond Jennifer and Jason"

or whatever the latest Rosencrantz and Satran book is. They classify names by the impressions they give (which names are trendy, which names say "Hot Stud", which names will get your kid beaten up.) They have really good advice for finding a name you and your wife (and your son) can all live with.

30. John-Morgan

I thought I was gonna be a Dad about ten years ago and got really excited. She said, "If it's a girl, I name her; if it's a boy, you name him." I spent a week going through a rolo-dex in my head and kept coming back to the same name over and over again--

"John-Morgan". No idea why. Never heard it before (that I can remember). Just kinda stuck with me. Hope if I'm honored to have a wife and a baby boy sometime in my future, I can name him that.

My opinion.

[SoCalDem]

32. Michael, Brian , David are names that are "dangerous"

There was a study of teachers done a while back.. Most of the troublemaker boys were named Michael, Brian or David,,


I have a Michael, and I can attest to that fact :(

[SiobhanClancy]

33. The Michaels I've known...

have been a little bit dangerous....and quite cool:)

[Mrs. Venation]

34. Trevor

or Randall
or James
or Simon
or Henry
or Sean

[Insider]

35. winston, wesley, warren

Not everybody gets the chance to name their child after a Living God.

[name not needed]

52. Gorthon

[name not needed]

60. such a kickass name

i want to change my name to gorthon

[radwriter0555]

53. You gotta MEET him first... Then you'll know just who he is...

no need to rush it.

[NuckinFutz]

54. My sons' names are

Bryce and Ross...just unusual enough to not be confused with other kids at school. Believe it or not, I think my son Ross is the only kid in his school with that name.

[CBHagman]

55. Get a copy of "Beyond Jennifer and Jason, Madison and Montana"

If I recall correctly, it's by Rosenkrantz and Satran (no, not Guildenstern). The book covers fads, naming twins, issues to consider when you plan to have more than one child, etc. It's one of the sanest books I've ever seen on naming babies, and it's pretty extensive and entertaining.

As for Irish, there are many, many names to consider. There are Declan, Seamus, Padraig, and so forth. Or you could go the saint route and pick something like Alphonse (just don't name your next boy Gaston).

Congratulations and good luck!
