Boy Name Suggestions??

Braydon, I heard that name after I had already named my son arron. I do love arron as a name also though. My choices were, Arron
Hunter
Jake
Lee
Brockton just some ideas for ya.

Hi S..
i think my youngest sons name is unique. or its not heard of very often. His name is Joel
boy names are hard i think. My oldest son is Joshua. but that is not unique.
i also like Xavier,Jaxson,my friend had a baby boy and named him Joriah. I really like that name and never heard of it. Ley me know what it ends up to be!

How about Hamish (long a) It's more common in Ireland or Scotland. Also Seamus (pronounced shay mus)

Hi S.,
I loved the name Chasen (a mix of Chase and Jason) for our son - but my husband wanted a good old normal boy name (we went with Tyler - which fits him to a T!) I never really found a spelling of it I liked - Chasen, Chason, Chasin, Chasyn. I think I read it on your responses, but I also thought Talen (with a long a) was cool. I think it's important to think about nicknames too - they always happen whether you like it or not. Good luck on your little boy!

Well my son's name is Denver. Me and my husband loved it!!!! And it fits him so well.

Hi S., first of all congrats on the pending birth of your baby. I like the name Blaise Preston (prenounced Blaze). Don't know if it is what you are looking for but I wish you luck :) M.

Hey I hear unique names at work all of the time. One new one is Islander. It really grows on you after awhile. Kindrick, Kinter, Braxton, Axton or Afton, Layton,Ace, Jaden,Riley, Parker, and Camdon. Oh and as a photographer I am fond of Canon and Olympus but not fuji or kodak. LOL! Hopefully that helped a little let me know if you need more and I will keep my eye out!

Just remember, your child has to live with his name on the playground. Parents sometimes don't think about that. Also, I don't know what your last name is, but mine is really weird, and so I named my boys "normal" names to balance things out. They may (and probably will) get teased about their last names, but I had much less control about that, heh.
Congrats!!

J.

Congratulations!

I always liked the name Adrienne for a boy.

I also liked Vincent (Vince) and Julian (Jules) for a boy, these were the only names my husband supported me on because they are also the name of the characters from Pulp Fiction. :) I never realized that. :)

Good Luck!

I am into traditional family names. My daughter's name is Merrick after my grandfather. It is really a unisex name. I also had Kelton picked out if she was a boy. Kelton was my grandgrandfather's German sur-name. I also like Benton, Domanic, Shelton, Manni, all family names.

hi S., i just wanted to say i can't think of any unique names but the names of my boys are christopher(15 yr) and matthew(6yr). the girls are unique i believe the jilliean (3 yr) and the youngest rhiannon (4 months). sorry no help but i would think about if there are any names of family or anywhere else you might of heard a name from W.

I have a 1 yr old whom we named Bennen. I wanted something different and I had really liked this name. He goes be Benny also and I have gotten alot of compliments. As a joke we told my Mom we would name him Bennen Jerry ie: the ice cream! Just thought I'd offer this suggestion. Also my CONGRADULATIONS!

A little late but here goes. i work with two great guys and they are Kenton, and Lathen...I have never come across them before. Oliver is my sons middle name, hubby said no for a first! Friends have a son named Ronan, very irish, and also Liam and Donovan with their 4th boy being named Caius, pronounced KY-US.

Good luck...

S.,
Congrats!! I have a 6 month old little boy, and we named him Ethan. We didn't think it was very common...until we saw the Social Security name list. (Lol!) I also liked Marshall, Owen, Lucas, Luke, and I LOVE old fashion names! Our son is going to hate us...He has two middle names and our last name is Kassen (K-ASS-en) and EVERYONE pronounces it incorrectly! Lol! Anyway, I also wanted to incorporate some family names w/Ethan and thats why he has two middle names, one from my G-pa and the other is my husbands G-pa. Oh, and last names are begining to become popular too. Good luck!!
J.

My son is 8 months old and we named him Leo after my Grandpa that passed away when I was young. So I it meant alot to me! When you find a name you think you might like use it when your talking about baby and see if you like saying it all the time!
Good Luck!

Josiah is a great name it means "The Lord Saves". He was a boy king in the bible. This is my oldest boys name(21yrs).
I also have:
Zachariah
Jedediah
Orran
Isaiah
and have always liked Elijah and Jaidyn

I gave all my boys common middle names so if for any reason they didn't like the uniqueness of their names they had commonality to fall back on. Thankfully my boys all like their names and are adamant about using them properly.

Good Luck on naming your little boy
D.

Not sure if it's really unique or not, but I LOVE the name Brenden. we have 2 girls, so i naturally didn't get to use this name, but I think it's unusual cause it's not Brandon. Good luck with the new little one!

Hey S.,
How about Ian? Also, we named our son with my maiden name, Parker. Perhaps yours would work?
Good Luck and Congrats!

My fiance's brother is having a boy and we were talking about names the other day... they want something different, but liked the name Damion. I told them to take names they like and try changing it up by replacing a letter with a different letter... Like, Davion. I really like the name Deith too.. I am a little partial to "Different D Names" since I have one...

~D.

well i have two boys my oldest has two middle names (which is becomeing more common) Jeral (like Gerald without the "d") Micheal Wray and my baby is Deven Gene. the oldest is named after my dads dad then my uncl and my dad my second was a name almost at random out of a baby book but his middle name was for my moms dad.

some other good names are Brayden, Gabriel
and you can try http://www.alternativebabynames.com/

good luck and remember dont go to crazy on an unusual name think about when he's in high school

love steph

what I did with 1 of my children was name her something kinda old fashion but put a spin on the spelling.. So instead of Olivia ..I have an Alivia.. and it makes a differnce.. so mabey just to even change the way you spell the name could be what you are looking for. If you find a more classic name that you like. good luck and congrats

Hi S.! Here are some names that i really liked but my husband didnt want because they were too new school
Owen
Landon
Cole
Logan
Drew
Shane
Beau
Austin
Troy - My husbands name
Aidan
Hope someof these help!
J.

Xavier, but now I see that was already suggested.

What about Blaze, Austin, Aiden. I think that names that are not common are the most beautiful because not everyone can say they have that name.

My husband and son are both named Kalven, which seems to be pretty rare. I've only met one other since I had my son, and of course it was spelled Calvin, so ours seems to be unique. Also, my son's middle name is Jaxson because my grandpa always called me Jackson and my hubby calls me Jax. Whatever you name him, remember he has to live with it for the rest of his life, and really make it your own.

Jonas
Daxton (Dax)
Kai

Hi S.. I have a 16 year old son named Sheridan. Kind of close to your name since some of his friends like to kid with him and call him Sheri. He has always been the only Sheridan in his school so it is kind of different. I am still glad I picked it. It is an Irish name. Good luck and congrats!!

C.

A boy name I always liked was Kemp or Kemper. We thought that would be the name we would name our son but when he arrived and we had four names picked out (Jonathan, Ryan, Luke and Kemper) AND it was St. Pattys day when he was born, we decided to go with Ryan. We may consider Kemper for the next child if its a boy. I'm starting to like the name Dylan/Dillon as well. I had liked the name Kaiden, but my neighbor just named their little girl Kaidan, so it feels too much like a girls name to me, although we've found that there are quite a few girls named Ryan now-a-days too... Anyway, hope that helps! Let us know what you guys decide.

My husband suggested Bryton for a boy name if we had one. We had a girl and named her Elyzabyth (you can tell I also like things unique)but I loved the name Bryton. Hope you like it!

Hi S.....congratulations. I just had a little boy almost 7 months ago. His name is Gavin. Some other names that I really liked that were somewhat unique were Payton, Parker, and Corbin. My friend has a son named Gunnar and I have a nephew named Cannon. Those are both unique, I hope I am of some help, and good luck!!!!

I like the following for boys...I currently have two and am hoping for a girl in the next two years!

Kaden
Kennedy
Emmanuel
Kalel (Kal el) Superman's Krypton name, my husband loves Superman
Tyler

well i dont know if its unique but my childs name is Xavier
these are the names i had picked out for him idk if they are unique enough
Iverson
Skyler
Malachi
Ayden

u can try searching on the 'net n sometimes it tells you how many ppl have that name
i really liked ours that we picked out
Xavier(has always been my favorite name is isnt used that often)and Houston(houston,texas where we met)

What about Paul? That was my gpa's name. He passed when i was young and we've named one of our sons that now.
Ones I've heard:
Ashford
Brody
Bode (Bo-dee)
Jaxson
Mikka (Mike-uh)
Charlie
Carter
Jayden

I have a 22 month old little boy, we named him Coleman, we live in a small town and there is no other Coleman here! I also like the names: Jackson, Cameron, Landon, Hayden, Braden, Chase, and Bryson!

Carter is a great name. Don't you think?

L.

how unique? Don't get too crazy, for his sake. I always think people who go way out on a limb for their kid's name are just in need of attention themselves. And this is his name; imagine him with it at 6 months old, 5 years old, 15 years old, 45 years old, and 70 years old.
On that note, "Catcher in the Rye" is one of my favorite books, and the lead character's name is Holden. I like that. I also like Aivan, although I have never heard it before.
Good luck.

WOW!! You've had alot of responses! I love unique names. I have two sons named Donovan and Daxon (don't steal 'em) lol! I have a little girl I named Maddix. I think they are pretty rare. I just don't want my child sitting in class with 5 other kids with the same name. I saw that with some girls named Mikayla in my sons class.
So here is a name for a boy-----Kyan (pronounced like Ryan) I've never heard it before! I also like
Dallen

Something you could do- look in the phonebook at last names. There is great name that are unique as first names. I would love to hear back from you on what you decide on. Good luck!

Hi S.,

I like the names Greyson & Grady for a boy.

My boys names are Sevyn (pronounced Seven) & Blake

Good Luck & congrats!

I really like the name Josiah. It has a great meaning too. (although I can't remember what it was) We were thinking of naming our baby that, but we had a girl... Isabel.

My sons name is Landon,
We also liked
Brayden
Braxton
Brendon
my friends have kids named: Kayden, Hayden and Keaton

I agree with the one person who said be careful on what names you give your child. My name is J. (pronounced John-na) but i got made fun of all the time, and it was pronounced all the time, and that was very hard as a kid, because it really made me feel a bit seperated from the rest. But any who, i think Cayden. My husband suggested Harley Davision then the lst name lol he is a nut. Cayden is about all i can come up with :)
good luck
J.

Hunter, Jackson, Dawson, Roark, and Dakota are cute. I think it depends on the person whether or not the name is unique. Congratulations! Good Luck!

My neighbor named her 2 boys Talon and Parker, I think those are pretty cool for a little guy.

Hi S.!
Congrats!
If my husband and could have more children... we would!

Landen (love it)
Ethan (husbands choice)
Blain
Bryce
Brenndan
Brennan

Those are my personal favorites!

Good Luck!

Easton or Asher, I love both of those. Asher is biblical.
We named our son Cooper, but those are popping up everywhere, he has one in his grade.

Hey S.

My sons name is Clayton (12yrs) and he says he loves his name b/c he is the only Clayton in his class. If you look at some old fashion names you can find some good ones like Clayton, Marshal, Bennet...these are just a few names that I found within my own family. Ask around in your family and your husband’s family to see if there are any names that strike your fancy. My husband and I could not agree on my daughters name until after we spoke to his mom and found out that her mothers middle name was Emeline (pronounced Emma-line) as soon as we heard it we both knew that was our daughters name. Congratulations, Good Luck, and if you don't mind, let us know what you decide!!

I did a little research and came up with this.

Good luck hope it helps.

Not really knowing your nationality was hard to just throw names out, so I found this list for you.

Alittle late I know but I love the name BRIAR for a boy.I dont know if its been suggested yet, I didnt see it amount the sea of names! good luck and let us all know what you name him!

Hi! I have always loved the name Keaton, my friend named her little boy Cooper, a bit different to me, and my little man is named Mason, he is 7. I looked through his year book yesterday and out of 3 grades and numerous classes in those grades, he is the only Mason. Good Luck.

Well here is my two cents worth... Treiton (TRAY-ton), Sawyer, Cobin (like Corbin but with out the r) and Sabin. My best friend's oldest son is Dashiell (Dash for short) and her youngest is Cohen which is usually a last name but it fits him really well. We picked Tanner for our son because we really liked it and hadn't heard it too often. Of course after he was born we found out we have a neighbor named Tanner and a friend of my daughter has a brother named Tanner. Oh well...he's definitely unique no matter what his name is. Good Luck and congratulations!

How about Weston? It was the name that both of my girls would have had if they were boys!

Brant, Cooper, Cade, Brennen, Blake, Brooks, Garrett, Aiden, Graham, Mason, Peyton, Owen, Josiah, Kreed, Sylar, Grayer,Drake ...that's all I got right now I'll think on it.

my sister named her son Brevin as in Bre from Brett and Vin from Devin.. so maybe u might wanna try to take two names and add them together or take a word and spell it backwards.. my friend named her daughter Nevaeh whcih is Heaven spelled backwards... thats just some thought.. Congrads on ur second baby... good luck on trying for some unique names
