baby due 2 weeks! Boy name help
| Wed, 09-07-2005 - 10:28pm |
We are trying to pick a name for our first baby - a boy. I need some help deciding on a name. Our last name is a single syllable and very simple. So I'd like a first name that isn't too trendy, but not too unusual. Here are some we are thinking of, but the more I think about it, I'm not sure which one I like.
What do you think of these choices? Any other suggestions would be great.
James
Jack
Jackson
Nolan
Ryan
Owen
Carson
Andrew (could call him Drew)
Joshua

You've listed some really great names, here's what I like from what you have:
Owen Jack
Jack Ryan
Andrew Carson
Jackson Drew
James Nolan
Nolan James
Owen James
I really like Jackson (Jack), Nolan & Owen.
My thoughts:
Because you have a single syllable last name, I would probably eliminate Jack and Drew (as much as I like both names). James is almost like 1.5 syllables so it would still work.
Nolan and Owen are my favorites from your list. Ryan is just too popular, I know more female Carsons than makle ones these days and Joshua is just nms.
Other names I like:
Ian
Miles
Eli
Truman
Asher
Davis
Calvin
Liam (possible nn for William)
Colin
Mermer3
I think Carson and Drew(andrew)are very cute names!!!
Here are a few that I am considering:
Tayven
Keegen
Cooper
Jason
Jayden
Trevor
Garrett
Hope this helps! Congrats and good luck!
I don't like two one-syllable names together, so for me that nixes Jack & James.
also, if your name is very common (you said simple, so maybe common isn't exactly what you meant) but either way Jack and James are too simple and common for that
I love Joshua - 3 syllables, 1-syllable last name. to me that's a perfect thing
my next choices in order would be Andrew, Carson, Ryan - although Ryan is so overly popular of all ages, if you have a very common 1-syllable name there are bound to be others with it named Ryan
good luck
All the names you chose were good. Here are other suggestions for you. I am a teacher and the following names I always liked and the boys I knew with these names were really great kids:
Cooper
Hunter
Blaine
