Help me think of boy names  

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
I am in desperate need of boy names! I know it's way early in the game, but DH and I cannot come up with a single decent boy name. All of the ones we like are out of the question because they already belong to various other family members. Anything I come up with he vetoes. We feel like we've used up our one perfect boy name already (Adam). If I throw out the ones I like but can't use, can you all come up with some more? We like but can't use:

William (DH's uncle and cousin)
Michael (my uncle and cousin)
Matthew (DH's cousin's son)
Caleb (my cousin's son)
Patrick (DH's cousin)
Ryan (DH's cousin)

Dominick is a possibility, I haven't brought it up with DH yet (I'm still holding out hope for my little baby boy I can call Nicky). Nicholas has been vetoed by DH (it's his name). Jacob is a maybe. Robert is a maybe. He likes Blake but it's my mom's maiden name and I'm not crazy about it (not because it's her maiden name, just because it's not "grooving" with me). We like Richard but I know the kids at school will call him Dick no matter what we call him and that's not cool with me.

Help me!

You can have some of the names that I can't use but I don't know if you will like them or not.

Jude
Reese
Micah
Laim
Lukas/Lucas
Jeremiah

other Biblical names would go well with Adam

Not in your DDC, but I saw the thread and had to respond. My DH is the SAME WAY as yours: I'd come up with a ton of names and NOPE VETO.

We have finally agreed, but it took a little compromise on my part.

Anyway, here are a handful that I loved that DH did not. Actually, the name we have chosen for our babe if he's a boy is on your banned list You seem to like traditional names, as do I, so here you go ...

Martin
Aiden
Thomas
Charles/Charlie
Connor
Kyle
Henry
Colin
Nathan/Nathaniel
James
Simon
Maxwell/Max
Samuel/Sam
Justin
Jackson/Jack
Brendan
Brandon

OMG, DH would LOVE to name a boy Kyle, actually the reason we named our DS Adam is because of Adam Petty, and he's been pushing for Kyle for the next boy Thomas, Connor, Nathaniel, Justin, and James are out, they're already taken, but I'm adding Max, Brendan/Brandon, and Charles to my list (Charles is an old family name, it's DH's grandpa's name and my grandma's dad's name).

Dh's name is Eli and I love it. It's not the kinda name you can have a Jr. of though. I don't think he'd like a junior, anyway. Also, Elijah
