Another boy name thread

[Deleted]

We are at a total impasse. Totally uninspired. Induction begins on Sunday so we need to get on it!

Last and is super common and ends in -onson. Names like Harrison (Harry), Henry, Richard (Dick) are out. We generally prefer simple, classic names but given how boring the last name is, it feels like the first name should be... Not boring.

My last name and H's nickname end in -y.

DD is one of the MMM Cora's.

Give me suggestions!

[mannah]

Clark!

Classic but unusual. I just named my baby this so I'm biased but really, it's perfect

[bowies]

Since I can't use it and I'm still disappointed about it: Miles.

[Mrs.flang]

Ryan
Lucas
Alexander
Wesley

I'm usually not good at this game, but these are in my top 10 and I think fit the simple and classic criteria.

My 1980's name starts with a C too. So me, Cora and Clark? And my sister just named her son with a C name too. Feels like too much?

Am I overthinking this?

This is exactly what I was going to say!

[winemaker06]

Names I keep suggesting because I won't get to use them now.
Malcolm
Simon
Graham
And I second Clark too!
Ok, maybe not another C. And Simon may not sound good with your last name. So back to Malcolm :-D

Could go either way--I kind of like the same letter names for siblings but it's your personal preference. I wouldn't worry about using a name that started with the same letter as my sisters baby. Because really, Cora and Clark are damn adorable together

H has vetoed Nate. He also vetoed Calvin, I'm not sure why.

[TamiTaylor]

For real though:
Matthew
Bennett (nickname could be Ben)
Patrick
Henry
Wallace

Malcolm. My imaginary third son that I will never have would be named this.

Lol at Ben Common Last Name. Maybe he'll be a poet!

I had to look up the reference.

I really like Luke but H vetoes.

Also like Evan, Cameron and Matthew.

Damn it you guys are making good suggestions but most of them we've already vetoes for one reason or another.

We like the nickname Mack but can't figure out what the longer version would be. Maclean? My dad is a Michael and we could call the baby Mack. Or Mick?

[countthestars]

Grant!
