Opinions on a Name
| Sun, 07-17-2011 - 8:58am |
Hey everyone! We're a little stuck on some names right now and I wanted some opinions. We originally wanted to name our son Ryker, but of the few people we told the only thing they could think about was the prison in NY. Also, when I Googled what people thought of the name (other people have asked on other sites), many people had very negative comments. I know it's important not to worry what others think, but he is going to have to live with this name all of his life and interact with society, so I don't want most people's reactions to be negative. John will be the MN since it's a family MN for DH. Here are the names we're choosing between:

Ryker is a little different but I didn't have a negative thought of it when I read it (and I'm not familiar with the prison).
Lincoln does make me think of the President. DH really likes it because of the nickname "Link", but I do worry about teasing and such.
Bennett is definitely my top choice right now, but I keep going back and forth :)
I like Lincoln!
Of the ones you have out I like Bennett the best.
Hmmm I honestly think they are all nice and would "age" well. I think my two faves are Ryker and Bennett, good luck, this name business ain't easy!
My opinions on your names...
I think they will all age well and look good on a resume...
Bennett John - very cute for a young guy as well as perfect for an aging gentleman. I like it.
Lincoln John - I like it, but I think I like Bennett better as far as thinking of it on a person.
Ryker John - I love it, but I already said it was on our list.
Edward John - it's not my style, so of course I'm very not in love with it, and I have a hard time seeing it on a little guy.
