All in a Name!
Can picking a name for a boy really be this hard. You see I already have 2 beautiful girls, and when it came to picking their names is was really easy. I just knew the name was the one as soon as I heard it. By the time I was 3 months pregnant with my girls I knew what name they were going to get.
Not this time, I think I have heard every single boy name out there, and nothing, not one single name has caught my attention.
One name has caught the attention of my husband, but I am not really a huge fan of this name. Not to sure how its going to work having us 2 decide on a name, we both have such different styles that we prefer.
So if you are lucky enough to enjoy reading my blog, you are going to be lucky enough to help me out, I am going to list below some styles of names just so I can feel out what the trend of 2012 really is. Leave a comment below to what you think would be trendy. Thanks for reading and sharing.
Here is a little background as well all about us. My husband is Irish, so I like to pick Irish names. We already have 2 girls with rather old fashion name, Allison and Elizabeth, which we have shortened to Alli & Ella.Our last name starts with an R and trying to stay away from R first names.
The Family name, traditionally lots of families will name their sons after names that are in their family. here are ours.
1. William
2. George
3. Phillip
4. Reid
5. John
6. Gordon
7. Duncan
Even though I am staying away from R names here are some I like.
1. Rowan
2. Ryker
3. Ryder
Western names, or cowboy names I seem to be going towards.
1. Hunter
2. Wyatt
3. Colton
4. Austen
5. Mason
Of course can't go without some Irish names in there.
1. Declan
2. Connor
3. Brendan
Biblical names, like how I can short form these names.
1. Matthew-Matt
2. Lucas- Luke
3. Ezekiel- Zeke
Daddy's picks
1. Gregory
2. William
3. George- Geo
4. Hunter
5. Connor
Girl's picks
1. Wyatt
Also feel free to add any names you think of that could fit into my styles.
I still haven't found that name, so you never know I might end up in Love with one that is posted. Thanks for helping.

I think you have your name already...Hunter is on both yours and your hubby's list :o)
ReplyDeleteIt will come to you. No need to rush. I agree Hunter is on both of your lists. Carey is still a neutral name :)
ReplyDeleteYes Hunter seems to be the one name we can both agree on...My mother on the other hand has already expressed that she really dislikes this name but at the end of the day it is me who is naming the boy not her...lol
