Now that we are well on our way to adopting, L and I have been thinking a lot about baby names. We need some serious help.
We think we're going to keep the baby's birth name and use it as a middle name. However, we would like to give him his first name. That way, when he grows up he can use his first (more American sounding) name, or his middle (Latino) name. It's good to have options.
(and please, don't tell me all about how Latino names are "American" sounding, too. I know that. And you know what I meant.)
With Hatchling, we knew what his name was going to be before he was even conceived. Sadly, we've never come up with another good boy name that we both agreed on (or a girl name, for that matter). We do both like Noah, but we just aren't sold on it. Please help us come up with a name so we can stop calling our baby Julio!
The rules of the contest? They are pretty lax. It needs to be multi-syllabic (we have a one syllable last name). We like Bible names, but non-Bible ones are OK too. That's about it.
You're prize for naming our child? Ummm, how about personal satisfaction?
Anyway, here are a few for ya. Again, this is without knowing your last name, etc.
I LOVE Caleb, but it has become WAYYYY too popular for me.
Andrew
Aaron (my son's name, which I LOVE btw)
Daniel
Zachariah
Jeremiah
Matthew
Ok, that's enough for now.
Good luck!!
Amber
Jacob
Benjamin
Noah
Joel
Aiden
David
Lucas
I am leaving out the name I have already chosen for my future unborn son. I'm selfish like that.
Kassi- that is so mean! I would never steal your name. Ok, that's a blatant lie. =)
I love Jacob, but my SIL had to go and have a child by a Jake, who she now hates, so L says no to that name.
Keep up the good work!
But Jacob? I'm all over that one.
Hmm... what else? I like Joshua, too, I think. My best friend and her hubby names their son Mattias, and I wasn't crazy about it at first, but now I love it. Mattias Julio. Hmmm...
You should name him Francois, given your love the the French! ;)
Gabriel
Liam
Julian
Christian
Dominic
Good luck! It's sooo hard.
Joshua is nice as well. But I am still not giving up the name I've chosen.
I am fond of solid "male" names. Like George as well.
Of course, if you go with "Thomas", he may have to put up with train comparisons for the rest of his school year, but there are worse things in life!! ;)
You'll find one that looks like him, though, and it may not be any of the ones suggested. Good luck!!
Just a suggestion...
