What is a good baby boys name?

Our son is Wyatt. It means "little warrior". I loved the name from the first moment I heard it. I think it is different, but not strangely so.

Rebecca, my husband chose the name Castiel off Supernatural. lol. He refused to budge on it and while I was unsure about it my little man is such a Cass (Castiel) he was even born on a thursday! Names mean so much when you have a child you want to cherish your child and a name can relfect how much thought you gave to naming them. I was named by my sister after a soap opera star... but my parents wanted her to have a special connection to me so they let her choose.
Good Luck with the naming of your son, I am sure whatever you choose will be "so your son" :)

Thankyou all for sharing your names & stories i love many of the names they are unique, I love the name Castiel (i first heard it on supernatural the tv show lol i am not religious but love many of the biblical names) & Carly it also took me sometime to decide to but for my girl it was simple & sweet ,but like you i would probably still be contemplating a baby boy name after i gave birth lol Its a toss between (Nikolas), Johnathan, Lachlan, (Castiel), Billie & Alexander, Brackets being the most interesting to me, so many beautiful names out there, but i am just planning with my partner we aren't married.
I never listened to my former partner because he was set on a boy but also told me i had no right to name the child he gave me (yes the one i carried for 9 months 4 of which alone until i found my new partner) he wanted to name my daughter cherry, my new partner told me Rose was a grandmas name P.s,I didn't care what they thought i just looked them square in the eyes & told them "I'm carrying her, its my choice because I'M THE ONE SQUEEZING A CHILD THE SIZE OF A WATERMELON OUT SO Shutup" lol yes i screamed & i argued all the way until we were holding her & never heard a whisper about her name after that he told me it suits her :) Best of luck Carly I hope you can decide on a name & one both you & your partner Will love dearly. I think my long paragraph may have explained most everything, I'm stubborn & don't know my mother as i was raised by my father true blood Irish :) & he choose my name as it was his ex partners name & (partially i think it was to spite my mother so not a very lovely sentiment) many of the first year it was my mother trying to take care of me but she left the hospital (without me! before my father arrived, very sorted past between them & alot of hurt feelings) My mother is of aboriginal decent, she refused to name me but named my younger brother after her father (Keith) & my father named my youngest brother after a friend that had passed away (Steven). I put much more thought into names i respect people that name their children with a purpose or respect for someone close but i refuse to name my child after a lost soul, i am very intouch with a spirtual side of life & i feel that it has no true feeling toward the child i want to be able to tell my child i choose their name because it is Unique & beautiful for them & them alone because they are the only person with their mind & hope that they feel i have choosen right.There are many times i have wished to change my name but am still deciding. I have since separated from my partner but i know there will be time to decide these things & have many more years until i can feel comfortable & for me & my daughter to be together to give her a brother to adore :) Thankyou all for your help

If my daughter had been a boy, he would have been Trevor Michael. My older sons name is Evan. I think when you pick your baby's name, it should be something that really sticks with you, but not strange enough that people are going to find it very odd. My daughters name is Sage. Maybe look at your cultural background. I chose Evan for my son because he is very Irish. Maybe looking at names regarding your and your husbands heritage will help.

You tell me :o) I am due in 14 days and my hubby and I CANNOT agree on girl or boy names and it is starting to stress me out because I really dont want to come home from hospital without a baby named but it might go that way haha

If I ever have a boy his name will be Cohen or if it's spelt Coen that is Aboriginal :) My partner is half Aboriginal so we have looked into some names :) good luck. Boys names are so hard.

I have two boys: Elias and Ezra. Another name I liked until I met a guy who just ruined it for me is Geoffrey (pronounced like Jeffery).

I have an Aston Shawn, a Cass (short for Castiel) Douglas, and I will have a Kalin Grey in a few weeks. We went with family names for our middle names and tried to find something that worked with our middle names first and then something that we loved.

My son's name is Alexander Josef=)...I also like the names Nickolas and Luckas!!!

My sons name is Luca :)

My son is Lewis. It's my maiden name, and I have only sisters so the name won't be carried on. I love it not only because it's the name I grew up with myself, and it's ties to my dad and grandfather, but also because it's a 'traditional' name in that it's not something that people are going to go "You named him WHAT?" and nothing he'll get teased about, etc. But it's also not so common that you hear it on other kids all the time. Although I think it might be starting to become more popular again. His middle name is Anthony - my husband's dad's middle name and also his brother's first name.

Dylan James go well together.

I saw Zane and fell in love with it, but our almost 12 month old daughters name is Rayne..

Although having a Rayne and Zane 19 months apart (if this one is a boy) definitely isn't like naming twins Rayne and Zane, it might still give people pause.

I like Xander as a middle name too.

Have you made any decisions?

Rebecca - posted on 11/10/2011

Kelly that is a beautiful sentiment to you loved ones and for your son to have such meaning to his name is also beautiful and thankyou for your ideas, Davis is a nice unique name , and i do find the spelling of most historical names are somewhat odd to me so i do tend to detain thinking about them, mostly because many can be revered into nicknames rather then being formal. That's just me i hate nicknames, I love the name Dylan id also add James in their those two just seem to fit with me, thankyou for all your ideas ladies :) very appreciated.

My babe is Dylan David, but I also like Colin, Preston, Max and Simon

One son is Hogan Banks...Hogan was a dear college friend of my husband, and Banks was my husband's grandmothers maiden name. We almost called him Banks...but Hogan fits him. Think about family names...especially maiden names...these work for boys. I have a friend who's son is Davis...her mothers maiden name. If you like old names, what about Henry or Hank, Calvin or Cal, Frank, Fredrick "Freddy". We looked at historical names too Jefferson, Lyndon, George, Clinton "Clint". Hope this gives you at least some ideas to stem off of :-).

I do think common names get tiring 'we want our children to have unique names because our children are unique to us' I do like the name Michael but like said it also has a name tie it has always been one of my favorites, i like uncommon names not specifically names like jayden or aaron but not popular ones.I like names that have a certain meaning or origin, My Girls name is Rose yes it can be quiet a mature name for a child, i have always liked flowers and to me a rose is a very powerful, beautiful and meaningful life form to me just like my daughter. I have always liked Johnathan.

It depends on whether you want common or uncommon names. I'd go through the list of the most common baby boy names from 2010.
My son's name is Ryan Thomas. And I noticed Oliver is quite common now.

Kathleen - posted on 11/05/2011

I liked for a while Collin Micheal, or Jonathan Michael. our first son's name is Daniel Christopher, and our soon to be born is Robert Thomas

I have heard so many kids being named xander/zander, that it is actually getting old to me already. Just like everyone naming their kids Olivia, and Isabella. I love the names, but my son had 4, yes 4 girls in his preschool class last year named Olivia.

Rebecca - posted on 11/05/2011

I've always loved lachlan but it just never seems to stay stuck in my mind and xander always so tempting but it makes me think of buffy the vampire slayer everytime i hear the name, I'm half aboriginal and have heard many beautiful traditional aboriginal names they're are also very spiritual, One of my cousins was named Lincoln so as always trying to find new names to add to the family. There are just so many beautiful baby boy names to choose from, was so much easier with my daughter.

~♥Little Miss - posted on 11/05/2011

I love the name Lincoln...call him Link for short. That is what I would have done if I had a boy on my last child. I had a girl, so obviously it went to waste.

My son's name is Mone. Pronounced moon (as in foot, not pool) eh. Hard to explain typing! If we have another boy we're going to call him Narrah (Aboriginal for "the ocean")
