Baby boy name help!!!
| Thu, 01-18-2007 - 6:07pm |
Hi all,
I'm new to this, and about seven months pregnant with a boy :) Unfortunately we can't find a name we agree on. We want a traditional-sounding name that isn't too common... I thought maybe Theodore, but he hates it. Robert, Michael, Alexander, David, and Thomas are taken in our families (multiple times as both first and middle names). Anyone have any good ideas?? Thanks!

Not sure if you're into nn's so I'll list some possible nn's too.
Everett nn Rhett
Emmett
Nathaiel nn Nate
Jeremiah nn Jem
Marcus nn Marc
James nn Jem or Jamie
Charles nn Charlie or Chaz
Zachariah nn Zack
Adam
Harrison
Nicholas nn Cole
