I am really struggling with this Boy Name Decision. I have 7 days left before my scheduled c-section. My DH is so calm about it. He says lets bring a list to the hospital. That's fine, but I would like to have only a couple names rather than 10. Either way, I would love to get everyones opinion one last time.

Girls names are much easier in our opinion. We agreed on Keagen when I was only 7 weeks along. We have a daughter now, her name is Kylie Rose. I feel the names we have on this list will go well with her name. She says that Lucas James is her favorite. What do you think?


1. Lucas James (nn: Luke / LJ)

2. Lincoln / Linkon (nn: Link) Love the nn! Which spelling is better? I like
unordinary spelling.

3. Tysen Anthony (nn: Ty) First name I came up with. Tysen was my maiden name, but
spelled differently, which represents me and my dad.
Anthony represents my step-father, and our last name
represents my DH and his dad. But DH isn't fond of this
name at all.

4. Gage Michael - This is the first name that we both agreed upon. But not my favorite.

Thank you so much.

Well Lucas James will definitely get my vote, that's the name we're pretty set on if this baby is a boy.

In order of preference:

1. Lincoln / Linkon (nn: Link) - I also love the nickname. I really dislike the unordinary spelling, looks odd, child will have to constantly explain the spelling. I love the traditional spelling.
2. Lucas James (nn: Luke / LJ) - I prefer Luke over Lucas. but this name is fine.
3. Gage Michael - This was on our short list with my first son who is now 17. I'm really glad we didn't use it.
4. Tysen Anthony (nn: Ty) -I just think of Chicken, and I dislike the nickname and related names Tyler, Taylor etc. Sorry, I strongly dislike this name no matter how you spell it.

First, for me Keagan is a boy's name. I much prefer Keelin, an irish girls name. Also, less likely to get people assuming she is a boy. I like Keelin and Kylie as sisters.

Good luck!

I like Lucas James a lot, though I'm not sure how I feel about both names ending in "s". I think this one works better than other combinations like that though, so it's definitely a great possibility.

I have to be honest but I really do NOT like "Linkon" at ALL. Unordinary spellings are one thing, but this one looks really misspelled, like a child wrote it. Or even like the name of a cartoon hero from Transformers or something

I really like Tysen Anthony too! Sorry that your DH isn't too crazy about it.

Gage Michael is okay. I don't see anything "wrong" or "unappealing" about it- just not one of my favorites.

Good luck!

I love Kylie Rose, what a pretty name. She must be excited for her new sibling. :)

I like Lucas James, I think that's my favorite of the list.

I like the name Lincoln, but spelled traditionally.

I really like Tyson Anthony too, but Tysen just doesn't look right to me for some reason.

Gage Michael, kind of reminds me of George Michael, but that could be a good thing. :)

Good luck, keep us posted on what you decide!

1. Lucas James- I love Lucas, with the NN Luke. I don't like the NN L.J.

2. Lincoln / Linkon (nn: Link) -- Lincoln is a great name, Link is a adorable NN. I hate the spelling Linkon, to be honest


3. Tysen Anthony (nn: Ty)-- I love Tyson, not Tysen.


4. Gage Michael - I love Gage but I don't think it goes with Kylie very well. But its a good name.

Lucas James or Gage Michael - I don't like Tysen (any spelling, too associative of the boxer and the chicken) - Lincoln - I don't know - it's old-sounding - Abe was pretty ugly, it brings up a bad imagine somehow -Linkon is just way too unordinary of a spelling, looks odd

anyway - I like Luke better than Lucas - but James is too short for Luke - if you'd decide on just Luke you could go with Anthony in the middle there - Luke Anthony

good luck
