s/o kids names

[wanderingenough]

Any names you like(d) that just won't work for one reason or another?

I love the name Harrison, but we have established that the NN wouldn't work with our last name. Middle school boys would have a field day with it.

Harry Dick, anyone?

A name like Beatrice wouldn't work with our last name (too many S sounds). I used to love the name Joshua, but now I'm off it for some reason and don't really like any other boys' names at all. Obviously it's not an urgent matter right now, but I find it strange how I like many girls' names and zero boys' names.

Well I liked the name Lucas for a boy until my H jokingly said "Luke, I am your father". No way in hell I'd use it now, lol! And I realized if he hadn't done it, my FIL would have made the same joke!

There's a lot of girl names I like that kind of rhyme with our last name (Anna, Joanna, etc.) so those are out.

Pretty much anything that ends in a y or ie sound is out because it would be too sing-songy with our last name.

I have loved the name Jackson and Jack all my life. Then MIL named her dog that last year and now H won't consider it.

christy082 We like Luke/Lucas too, but it's my cousin's son's name. Same reason we can't use Isaac or Zachary!

There are a few boy names that I LOVE but refuse to use now. Two of them have "gone to the girls" and I just can't bring myself to use them anyways. They are Avery and Riley (I know this is still popular for boys, but it got so trendy). Another one is Braden. I've always loved that name, but with all the other -aden names, I just can't. Not to mention our friend's son is Kaeden, so I don't want them to have matchy names.

For girls, I really like Hannah, but H dated someone with this name so it's out.

Anything with an F is out because I don't want the double F's going on. Luckily there aren't a ton of F names we like

I always loved the name Liam, but it is so popular now that I wouldn't use it.

Like I said in the previous post my last name is very hard so we did choose a type 3 boys name and I am cool w it. Any name w a nickname pretty much doesn't work bc the nickname doesn't go well w my last name.

Names that don't work:
Adam
Noah
Anything that ends in A
I can't even remember NE more.... Seriously we only found one name we liked.

We briefly considered Luke, but because the first sound in our last name is the same as the last sound in Luke, it sounds like Lou LastName when you say them together.

Genevieve. I love the name but one of our best friends plans to use it if he ever has a girl. He would be naming his daughter after his grandmother. I don't want to "steal" the name because he has known he would do this for 10+ years. So far he has one little boy.
