OK so we are on our third boy...i have had girls names picked out everytime we found out we were pregnant but nothing but boys are coming out. My husband and myself like to be creavtive with names because we want them to stand out. but i am running out of ideas!! here are some that we are thinking of let me know what you think i did this similar thing through email with my family and we are polling everyones thoughts together it is a big deal for us!!
The middle name is going to Louis so keep that in mind..
They will go from my favs to the ones just being considered..

Jager...like the liquer i like how it sounds and his brother is Gieger so they would flow

Burton..my brother in law says then the middle man should be ernie...put them together you will laugh..i wouldnt do this seriously

Kiev

Reyler

Sylar

Gunner

Corbin

Corbie

Rumor

I like Corbin and Gunner is okay. I don't care much for the others and really can't stand Jager. Sorry. Good luck.

Hi E.,

Watch out for teasing opportunities-chicken kiev. You can get 2fer- if you go with Corbin he can always go by Corbie if he wants to.

Congratulations in advance!

Just consider the pronunciation when you spell kids names. It can be annoying for them to have to correct every teacher, medical/dental person, DMV and my favorite solicitors (lol) etc....who just read the name off a piece of paper.
I know a lot of people would see Jager as a Jager not a Yayger.

I do completely feel for you with having the girl names picked out. My son is the 6th great grandbaby, 1st boy. My husband and I never expected kids so we never discussed names, when the time came I was SHOCKED at his choices. Choice 1, a jr. other choices (forgive my spelling) Johan, Sabastian, and 5 more like that, I chose Gabriel from his list and gave them matching middle names. We are about to start trying for our second and I just don't what to do if it's another boy. (name wise)
PS my nephew is Remy his dad is Rylin, those are fun too.

Some of those names sound good {although I don't know about Rumor lol}. My exes brother's name is Corby, and I like that name alot.
I too like to try for something a little different. My oldest son's name is Kason Kalju {Kal-you... it's a family name on his dad's side} and my youngest son's name is Alexzander Blaize, and we call him Xzander.
Do you think kid's might associate a name like Burton with Tim Burton? I don't know...
Best of luck to you :)

I like Ryler, Corbin, and Gunner. A name we had for the boy we didn't have was Colton, which you don't hear too often. And I know a Kyler, which someone else mentioned. I'm surprised there's not more Ryders since Kate Hudson named her son that. And Rumer is Bruce Willis and Demi's daughter, Jager sounds cool but I like Jagger, you might be setting Jager up for problems if (god forbid) he gets into trouble later..lol! And Brody might feel weird about his brothers' names sounding alike but not his. I'd stick with something people can guess the pronunciation, having grown up myself with a name no one can spell or pronounce!

E.,

If you're totally lost and don't know what name to pick, there is a book called "A World of Baby Names" by Teresa Norman. It has over 30,000 names in it from around the world. My husband and I used it to figure out names for our son, Dylan; and our daughter Ciara (think Kiera Knightly). After looking through that book, if you're still stuck, I don't know what else to suggest.

Hope this helps,
Melissa

I like Gunner the best, and Rumor the least. It would be good if you spelled it differently, like Rummer, so that it isn't spelled like the gossiping term.

I think I would run into the same problem if I had another boy. My first is named Balthezar, then we went simple and old fashioned with the girl, Edith.

Good luck

Reyler Louis goes really well together! :o)

My next boy was supposed to be Anthony, but I only have the one boy(he was supposed to be Jeremy, and he is! :o), and we stopped at 3 kids, so no Anthony for me. :o(

Congratulations, and good luck! I know we started thinking about names for all 3 of our kids almost from day 1, and since our kids all have 2 middle names, you can imagine how hard it was.

With Jeremy and Stephany, I used baby name books(didn't have internet then), and with Hillary, I used the internet and a baby name book.

Oh, and if you noticed, all 3 of my kids' names end in "Y"--that was a prerequisite, too, which just added to the "fun" lol.

Good luck with finding the perfect name, and have fun! :o)

I like Gunner - but what about spelling it Gunnar? Also, a variation of Corbin I just saw was Corbett, I thought that was nice too and would flow with your other boys' names and sounds nice with the middle name. If you still want more creative ideas, check out the book Cool Names for Babies (Same authors as Beyond Jennifer and Jason) - there are lots of great ideas in there too. I don't really care for Rumor, for me I associate it with Demi Moore's daughter, and I prefer to stay away from names that have "crossed over" to the girls. :-)

We're also trying to decide on a boy name, our second boy, third child. I'm so frustrated, I have a favorite but can't convince my husband. He keeps throwing names out there but doesn't love any of them. It seemed like it was so much easier to decide with our first two kids. I wish he would agree with my favorite because I'm getting more attached to it as time passes.

I think maybe Jager and Geiger are too similar. I like Gunner and I like Corbin. I laughed about Burton Ernie. Your other boys' names are great and I am sure you will make an excellent choice!

I like Corbin. I may be a little partial though.......my husband's name is Corbin : ) He loves his name! In fact, growing up, his mom had people call him Cory. He liked "Corbin" so much that when he moved out of the house he started going by Corbin. He still hates it when people call him Cory : )

I like Corbin, then Gunner. A friend named her now-8 son Kyler, which I like too.

Corbin is cool because it is the hero character in the movie 5th Element, played by Bruce Willis.
