hello, i'm Jen. i'm due in 6 weeks and "fresh" suggestions from other people would truly be a lifesaver now!

i have been trying hard to find a name since i got pregnant and i got stuck in a name rut.

WANTS:
1. easy to spell - without 2 popular spellings
2. easy to understand the name upon hearing it for the first time
3. doesn't have an over-used nickname like "Mike" or "Andy"

my possibilities to give you an idea were:

Luke: is this a little too common? i know a few babies named this.
Logan or Aidan: NOT on the list now; trendy; used for girls; and 2 spellings on Aidan)
Everett
Graham
Tristan (probably not)
THANKS!!! JEN

Luke is my favorite from your list. My criteria was similar to yours in that I wanted a name w/out alternate spellings, and without a nickname. I named my sons Brock and Holden.

Some other names that might appeal to you:

Adam
Craig
Dean
Grant
Jude
Noah
Owen
Ryan
Vaughn
Bronson
Brogan
Caleb
Gage
Heath
Joel
Mark
Scott
Neil
Preston
Parker

Hi ...


I love the name Luke also! ... I think it's definitely becoming more popular, but I'm not sure I'd call it trendy at this point.

Of those, I love Graham (especially if no nickname is used). I also love Luke, in spite of it's possible popularity right now.

AJ, enjoying life with C.
