Just for fun - Name our baby ;)

So the whole naming process is getting very frustrating to me. I'm having a hard time finding names I like and what I do like, Wade doesn't. And I don't like any of his names. I don't know why it seems so hard to find boy names? Maybe because alot of them are so common? And then there's the whole deal with people making boy's names popular for girls. (I can't talk too much though, Jessi (Jesse) used to be a common boys name.)

So for fun, leave me a comment with a name, 10 names, whatever.
Here's what we have liked... (Obvously, not many "normal, everyday" names)
My list:
Jax
Noah
Elias
Ryker
Kyson

Wade's list:
Blaze
Chance
Kidd
Skye
Tyke
Wyler
Oliver
Quinn

Who know's.... maybe you'll name our baby for us! Lol!

Mason chance (boy) Kenna Aubrey (girl) I like this game !)

Lynisha Weeda said...

Off of your list(s), my favorites for a first name are Kyson and Chance.
You could name him
Kyson Quinn...
Ryker Chance...

So if Wade likes Wyler and you like Kyson, what about Kyler? Kind of a compromise between Wyler & Kyson?

I love Elias, but I may be biased (my son's name) but also like Isaiah, Ezekial.

How's this for a sampler??? These are names of driver's ed students I have seen in the last couple years. I'm not suggesting that I am crazy about all of these. Some are kind of nice though. Good luck!

A couple here just named their boy Viktor Luverne. We could have a viktor and a prosper in the family! ;-)
After reading about Josiah I really like that name.
I love the name kyler, and also like Ryker and Kyson although I'm not sure how you'd pronounce that one...my language is messed up from learning diff ways of pronouncing things here.
What's Wade nationality background? You should look up names from that nationality and do czech too you might hit on something.

Mason was one of "my" fav's too.
I like Kyson
Personally, the ONE I like on Wades list is Quinn.
Some more of my fav's listed here are
Kolton, Garret, Jarin & Devin--or variations of spelling.

Kade
Quenton

I'll think of more later.

I'm going to go find our list of boys names we had. I'll add more later :)

Well we kicked around Oliver and Noah before picking Nolan so I like those. Also check out the book called the baby naming wizard-- I'll do a search and find the author for you but it is awesome. You look up your children's names and it gives sibling suggestions--and it totally works.

Carson/Karson
Brennon

Hmm, I think I like your name list better! ;p Kyson Quinn sounds like a nice name tho, or the other way around. Quinn is a nice name, Kyler is better than Wyler, too, I think. Instead of Ryker, maybe Ryder or Reed, something like that. Skye isn't so bad either really, but I think I'd put it as a middle name if it were my boy, like Kyler Skye!

I like Quinn and Oliver.

We had a forever hard time coming up with Kaleb's name. My mom is MAD that we named him with a K. Wilfred and I both like it. I finally came up with Kaleb Tyler.

Wilfred thought up Clayton and I added the James.

When we were thinking up names for Kaleb I wanted to give him a name with meaning. In the bible it speaks of Caleb, that he was faithful to God in all his days. Kaleb means faithful.

Then there is poor Clayton whose name means 'town of clay'......oops!

Laura Jelinek said...

As far as spelling things with K instead of C I'm all for it!! :-)
Some more names that I like are Martin, Taylor, Slade, Monte.

Laura Jelinek said...

A finnish name I like...
Kalevi (call-eh-vee) means hero

Lynisha Weeda said...

I'm all for "Caleb" with a "K" - you could do lots worse with wacky spelling! lol!

Quade is another one you might like... maybe that's a little too "wade" though?

The J's said...

I LOVE CALEB! (K)

I agree that it is hard to find names for a boy. And I also agree with the boy/girl names being interchangeable. We thought we were safe with Desmond but I have had at least five people ask if that was a boy or girl name (even dressed in blue). I personally like Oliver, and I really like Ryker, but that may because I have a little cousin on my Mom's side named that. You can cross off Jax and Wyler (my least favorite).

Raimie said...

I like Quinler, Grayer, Sterling... Kaleb is cute with Jessi.

Laura Jelinek said...

Yeah Kaleb is really cute with Jessi and I really like that Ryker name.

Raimie said...

@ melinda - We met your little cousin Ryker last week - he is so cute! :)

jrjelinek said...

I think you should go with one name off of each list then maybe you both would be happy. Sorry I'm not much help. Glad we are not having that problem this time.

Huisman5 said...

These were fun to go through! I like Lynisha's name, Kyson. The one I was thinking of, too, was Jarin (Jarron) that your Mom mentioned. Jesse and Jarin. Have fun! When you see him it will be easier to tell what fits him, too. I had thought Carlin might be a Spencer, but when I saw him, he definitely wasn't that! lol

Crystal & Warner said...

Sorry, Can't help you much here! We are saving our ideas; for that day whenever it may come.

We had a hard time with girl names, last year. I agree with others, that you should choose one name from each list.
