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 aren't an option for me anymore.. but they are open for you! :)

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 didn't... lol..

This thing is a lot of fun... The Baby Name Wizard: NameVoyager (http://babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html)

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 wasn't too popular, and it shows the popularity trends as well.. just FYI. Here is a link to it too.

You are so right, Seamus and James are the same as well.

And Liam is generally recognized as a version of William

I LOVE the name Jack. I hope to have a boy one day and call him that

Jack is the name we have picked for our child if it is a boy. :)

Shocked at how many posted liam... that was the first one I thought of... and I agree, while I like aiden, its getting used a lot.

My son is daniel mcleod, after his great grandfathers first and middle... always like biblical and family names... though we later learned that mcleod came from the family doctor... he apparently had four girls and after delivering the third child in my wife's familys line he told the parents "this ones mine! if i can't have a son, yours can take my name!" and they kindly obliged, so mcleod as a middle name, while a family name, didn't start that way.

Zach... friends son is jonah.

Cole is cool. Luke, or go with lucas formally.

Dylan is fine. Buddys name is dallas.

Are you into traditional names or not so traditional? Here are a couple that I have heard and thought were interesting.. Mason, Teagan, Cade

Tor or Orr, Tor means morning dove and Orr means light;)

We are into original names with significant meanings or heritage (Scottish, biblical) daughters are Ainslie Rose and Naomi Claire, other son that passed is Isaiah Nathan..

I can give you some boy names that are in my family. Maybe you'll see one you like :)

Erick
Aidan
Andrew
William
Scott
John
Joseph

Picking a good name was kind of hard for me, so I would pick names that were meaningful to me or my husband. My first son is Aidan Otto. Aidan, because I've been wanting to name my son that since I was about 12, and Otto because that is his daddy's middle name. My second son is Andrew Edward, Andrew because it was my best friends name that died, and Edward because it is my hubby's grandpa's name. :)

**EDIT** - I forgot to add:

Marshall
Morgan
David
Jeremy
James
Theodore

My nephews are Justin, Trevor, Logan, Ethan, Avery, Colin, Keagan, Jacob, and Patrick

For biblical, I have cousins named Andrew, Tobias, and Noah
There is also Thomas, Mark, John, Luke, Samson, Joseph, Paul, David, Samual, Abram (had a good friend with this name) Moses (Abe's brother)

I'm not much help with traditional names, because the names we've chosen are out of fiction.

I like Caleb for a Biblical name, and Jacob.

We've chosen a Saint's name for our first child's middle name, male or female: St. Jude, patron saint of the Impossible. Perhaps there is something you are grateful for, with this child, that has a patron saint?

Beautiful!

Call him "Bender"!

I named my son Kyle after the character in the Terminator movie. We also had in mind Ty, Justin, Troy, or Derrel but since it was a boy I got finally say so.

Some cool names are Blake, Chris, Mike, and Alex

Jaylen... jayden...

After you have picked his name, let me know.
I will give u the Japanese /Chinese version for it... for free. :D

These are my fav boys names : Zion, Joshua and Shadrack :)

Grady, Jett and Maximus are my boys name...
Sam, Jack, Harold (Harry), Simon, Terrance, I like the manly names the best... Hope my kids like theirs..
Davy Elizabeth is my girls name, everyone thinks she is a boy if they haven't seen her... Kinda silly but a name is an important thing, my real name is Neligh (neely) and growing up you could imagine what went along with that. I love it now but back at school, whoa!

I personally love the boy names Keegan and Matthew/Matt. If you want to be more unique- stay away from John or Michael.

My wife and I are expecting our third in October, a boy, and are struggling on a name this time around...any suggestions?
Well, it really depends on if your looking for a different name, or one that's original. And I'm guessing since you'r asking for name ideas you aren't planning him on naming him after yourself.but here's a few I came up with!

Cody

Brock

Devon

Dillon

Trevor

Evan

I know it's not much, and I have no idea what kind of name your looking for, but if you will post another with the kind of name, I can think of something better

Liam I love that name, I even think Jock is a cute name!

Thanks eveyone we are going with Jonas...

Ah! That is a good name.

I really like Luther. I would have another kid just to name it Luther... boy or girl.

Tuamo, Is an african name: means I have entered

Jonas... very nice...
Soon you will have a baby... Concrats!

Jonas....very nice...
Soon you will have a baby...Concrats!


Thank you

For boys I like
Teagan(tee-Gun)-mainly because it is my son's name.
Keagan/Keegan
Eagan
Reagan
Riley
Cole
Ailbe
Aidan
Evan
Cian
Finley
Finnagan

I am Jewish and we have a tradition of naming our children after people who have left this world who where dear to us and so if I had a son his name would be Ashton Mitchele and my last name and my daughter would Annabelle Jewels and my last name so it's ulteminintly your choice

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?

I went to school with a kid whose name was Anthony Stuart Stephenson.

That was a source of much entertainment.
