Poll: Help me with names?

[daisybuchannan]

I'm not really a fan of those names, but if I had to, I'd go with Reid.

[cheeseandcrackers]

Yeah... Reid or Rollins

[Deleted]

I like Ryan? Or Rhett?

[fuckyourcouch]

i don't really like any of them. reid is best, but i don't like the way it sounds with david.

[bcv513]

I really like Reid

[ElizabethBennet]

I like Reid but I don't like the mn David with it.

[soozy87]

I think that David is pretty mainstream so you need another mainstream name to go with it.

[nahoku]

I like Reid the best of those, but I don't like it with David as the mn. I have a weird thing where I don't like the last sound of a first name to be the first sound of the middle or last name.

Would you consider using Reginald as a middle name? That way you're honoring grandpa, but you don't have to actually call the kid by that name.

[sake]

We liked Reid, it was on our short list

[Deleted]

Perhaps consider another R name.

Like Robert or Ryan.

Or any number of more common options.

[ering1115]

DS's best bud at daycare is Rhys so I LOVE that name.

[alicenelson]

I'mma stayin' out of this one!

[janegold]

I like Rhys David.

Yeah...this is what I was afraid of. I'm not really crazy about any of these names either, but I really would like to honor his grandpa and I REALLY hate Reginald.

Reid is my favorite so far. Suggestions for a middle name that starts with a d?

Derrick
Devin
Dennis
Dean

[soozy87]

Dow isn't that bad for a middle name. Maybe it is with your last name though.

[agnes]

I love Rhys. I dislike Reid because the only Reid I know is a little shit.

It's cool if you don't like them! I'm not set on any of them, just thought I'd get some opinions. 

Hahaha--no, no, no.  I actually like all of the names you listed.  But just an hour ago I asked everyone's opinion on a particular girl's name and I quickly learned that my opinion is not only wrong (as was my choice of emoticons) but apparently quite insulting.

I like these too.  The others..well not so much

[derp]

Rhett
Butler

Reid
Not a first name, D carries in to David

Rhys
Jonathan Meyers

Rollins
Henry

I love the name Ryder. A friend of mine recently named her son Rowan.

I've also always loved the name Ryan though I realize that doesn't help you because your H already vetoed.

Good luck!

Wait I have another...What about Rocco?

If you're going to go Rhys, just spell it Reese or Reece. I know Rhys is a legit spelling, but come on, people. I am so sick of seeing it on the trendy name list. SERIOUSLY.

Just had to get that out.

When I see Reese or Reece, I think GIRL.  When I see Rhys, I think BOY.

[agnes]

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is hot.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will add them to the list I have going I do like Rowan.

Mr. Bean!

[eb777888]

I don't hate any if these names but I don't like any of them with David as the mn.

We named our David after FIL. I love his name because I have never met another child David. It definitely isn't a popular name.

[Deleted]

I like Rhett or Reid... Rhys is a nice name but I have a bad association with it. Rollins I don't like at all.

[TemperanceBrennan]

I like Rhys, but not that particular spelling. I also like Rowan. If you are looking for other R names, what about Roland, Ridley, Roman?

Would you consider using Reginald as a middle name? That way you're honoring grandpa, but you don't have to actually call the kid by that name.

I would also suggest using Reginald as a middle name. That's what we did for DD2 in honor of my cousin Joey who died in a car accident right after we found out we were having another girl.

Otherwise, I also like Reid best but don't like the D ending followed by David.

When I see Rhys, I think TRYING TOO HARD.

I think Tudors fan. (And I also consider Reese too feminine.)

[iheartvino]

I love the name Reid. And for as much as people analyze the way first and middle names sound together, most people don't even know what my (or anybody else's) middle name is.

I think I may scrap the idea and revisit our original decision of Andrew Lawrence. We'll see how h responds.

I love Andrew. It had been our boy name forever until H decided with this pregnancy that he wants to name a son after himself. Ugh. Naming kids is hard, yo.

Yeah, I had actually never seen it until The Tudors.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has some good movies.  You should check them out. 

My favorites are Velvet Goldmine (Ewan McGreggor & Christian Bale!), August Rush, and Bend It Like Beckham.
