Naming boy #3
| Mon, 08-16-2004 - 2:45am |
We are having our third boy in 8 weeks. After much debate, we have chosen the name Maverick Lance. We have gotten mixed reviews from family and friends. I once taught a little boy named Maverick who was just adorable. Our other sons are Kyle and Cameron. We were not trying to stay with the "k" sound when we named them; we just liked the names. Both of those names have become very popular and that's one thing we are trying to avoid with this child. However, I don't want him to feel like his name is "too out there". I just wondered what others might think of the name Maverick Lance. Our last name is Evans. Any opinions or suggestions?

Good luck and enjoy your little boy!
NNs could be Erick or Rick if your DS looks for something for mainstream later on.
But I think it's a great name without being too 'out there'. Congrats.
get teased. What if you used Lance as the first name..not too common but not so out there.
Just something to think of.
If you and DH *love* Maverick, then go for it. I agree with the others that Eric/Rick are potential nn's.
However, Maverick is pretty "out there" compared to Kyle and Cameron IMO.
I think you could come up with some pretty unusual names (visit the social security website) that don't paint the "mental picture" that the word "maverick" does.
JMO.
I hardly ever seek input from family & friends on choosing baby names because you'll never win......however, I do seek input from strangers! LOL!

Best of luck,

if you'd want to stick with C/K names - how about: Conner, Colin, Colton, Carson, Keegan. - or one that starts with a Q which is the same sound, Quinn, Quint, Quinton, Quentin.
good luck
Have fun with the naming!
