My wife and I are expecting our third in October, a boy, and are struggling on a name this time around...any suggestions?

I had a dream when I was pregnant with my son, I didn't know it was a boy yet. I dreamt I delivered a baby boy and I named him Bryce. I don't know where it came from, but when I found out what I was having, Bryce Edward it is!!!!

There are so many cool names for boys now. I am sure you will hear plenty.
My friend has a boy named Jett, I love that name.

I am also expecting, and some names of boys we have liked so far are....
Rowan
Aiden
Davin
Brody
Corbin
Jack

We are more fond of Irish/celtic names due to our heritage though...lol.

I was always a fan of tradition. Combining Dad's name with Grampa's or using both Grampa's first names as first and middle names.

For example, my second son is Michael William. Michael was my grampa and William was my ex's grampa.

My youngest is John David, named after my husband and my father-in-law.

I'm just a traditional gal though.

**EDIT** whatever you do, make sure you check the monogram.

I have a friend who named her daughter Amber Suzanne Schulz, her initials are A$$

My wife is pure Scott so we both favor celtic names too...thanks those are good

oh yes, the monogram is an important issue. I had the name Audrey Peyton picked for a girl until we realized that her initials would be APE...lol...

I also like the idea, if you come from different backgrounds, to pick a name from each...or even pick a name with meaning simnilar to your names, so that a piece of you both is there...for instance if your name was william (protector) and your wife's name was jane (god is Gracious) you can pick the names Alexander (protector) and Shane (god is gracious) you see?

Our first son's name is Connor, forgot to put that on there, also in our family we have a Patrick, Colin, and a Keagan as well...I always forget those, because they arent an option for me anymore..but they are open for you!

Synnen

Celtic names that I love are Liam, Seamus, Ian, Dagen, Donel, Finn, Cameron, Gwydion, and Rhys (pronounced "Reese")

At the library, I helped an 8th grade boy who was reading up on saints' names as he searched for a confirmation name. He decided on Blaise (from Blaise Pascal) because he said it sounds like "Blaze" and that made him think of a superhero.

Aiden/Ayden and Chase are popular now -- but almost TOO popular. They may turn into the "Jennifer" and "Madison" of previous decades.

Don't forget -- Ian and John are the same name.

LOL...we have a rhys too forgot him. My friend just named her son Finnegan, and I like Liam, but my hubby didnt...lol..

this thing is a lot of fun... The Baby Name Wizard: NameVoyager

I actually bought the baby name wizard book. It is pretty cool because it will give you brother and sister names that fit the same style as the name you like...for instance if you like the name Caleb, you are probably drawn to the names Gabriel, Cole, Connor, Elijah, and Noah for other kids...its really cool. we were looking for something that wasnt too popular, and it shows the popularity trends as well..just FYI. here is a link to it too.

you are soo right, Seamus and James are the same as well.
