HELP! need ideas!

We need help thinking of both boys and girls names for our baby. We want a good strong name, especially for a boy. We like Jack for a boy, but that's all we really like so far. Our last name is Stone... What else goes with it? I need ideas!

With a one-syllable last name, I would probably look for a longer first name, at least two syllables for better flow. Jack Stone is nice, but I think a longer name would be even better, not to mention how popular Jack is. I would also avoid names ending or beginning in "s" as that is what Stone begins with.

Why don't you try to tell us a bit more about your style so its easier to suggest?

Kyle Stone

Gavin Stone

Dylan Stone

Edwin Stone

Gregory Stone

Cory Stone

Hunter Stone

Bennett Stone

Beckett Stone (Beck/Beckham)

Asher Stone

Thatcher Stone

Miranda Stone

Larissa Stone

Geneva Stone

Carissa Stone

Talia Stone

Delia Stone

Felicity Stone

Taryn Stone

Daniella Stone

Maren Stone

Lila Stone

Teagan Stone

Let me know what you like and don't like so I can suggest more!

Thanks so much! Great ideas. I love Bennett, Garrett, Sam, Hunter, and we also like Cameron and Kelson... For girl names, we like the name Stevie (my dad's name is Steve)

We both love the idea of traditional, but not too boring, and family names.

Woah, naming a baby is so hard!!! =) Thanks for your help.

I had a friend (girl) named Stevie, and I loved her name!

I am so glad that you like it so much. We haven't told many people besides family bc I am afraid people will think we are crazy! I have a good girl friend named Scottie (after her dad) and I think it is adorable.

I like the same ones you like:


Boys:


Bennett Stone, Garrett Stone - I like both of these a lot; Zachary would make a great mn


Sam Stone - sounds like a private I; reminds me a little of Sam Spade; fun name for a boy


Hunter Stone - great name; since your last name is a word, I think it's best to avoid "word" names like Hunter

Cameron & Kelson - both have a unisex feel since Cameron is used so often for girls and Kelsie is popular for girls; that doesn't bother me but some don't like unisex names for boys


Other ideas (sorry if these have been mentioned):


Hudson
Jackson
Paxton


Girls:


I really like Stevie, but I agree with the comment of giving her a more formal name like Stephanie and using Stevie as a nn.

DH's best friend is Eliott Stone. His brother is Damon. I think they go well. For a girl, I would go with Daphne, Elaina, or Arielle. I like how they sound.
