My son's name is Jonas. I didn't realize until about two months ago that Jonas is the main character in the book The Giver, which was one of my favorites as a kid.

I like Noah from my fav movie/book The Notebook.

I also like Preston, Hunter, Cooper, Neko (Knee- co) Harper, Nate etc

When my fiance and I had our youngest child (of 6!!) we quickly settled on a boys name, Drew. His name is Andrew James and his best friend, who had passed away recently, was named Drew, so it was a combo honor. When we found out it was a girl we had a whole new set of difficulties... We talked to everyone we knew to get input, finally 3 days before she was born a co-worker of mine suggested we combine our names since this was the first, last, and only child we would have together. My name is Amie Kelly and as I said before his name is Andrew James, we came up with Jamie. We were still undecided on a middle name, but when she was born we quickly came to Caroline-- which means little fighter-- and she was... from one hour old she fought for her life and did so for almost two years before she was finally healthy.... I guess this all says-- look at you and your husbands names, and look at name meanings... and don't have anything etched in stone till you see the little guy... many people don't have a confirmed name until they see the babies adorable little face!!

I don't have great suggestions... I wanted to name a boy D'Artagnan from the 3 musketeers until I saw how it was spelled....my ex-husband said this name is why we had all girls:)

Harper would be a great name too! I always liked two names for a boy and if we had a boy his name would have been Alexander Drake or Drake Alexander. It depended on how the kid look once he was born... Alex Is very common now but I have not heard Drake in a very long time! I would make Drake first... I am not a reader at all and I am not sure if Drake is from a book or not.

i have had alot of names sugsted to me for a boy such as (Rhys other spelling Reece)and also (duane/dwayne) and lucus

Jeanne - posted on 05/16/2009

How about William? It can be shortened to either Will, Bill or Billy. How about Daniel...Dan Brown...the DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons? Just a thought. And don't worry we had a hard time finding a name for our boy as well.....we finally settle on Scott....hey that could work as well for F.Scott Fitzgerald.

Allison - posted on 05/16/2009

Our youngest son is Ellory-change the spelling and you get author Ellery Queen... We also have an Emmett, but that might be confusing with your daughter's name.

well I read ALOT but not so much the clasics and such becasue we don't have a book store here just Walmart and Zellers so I usualy read thrillers and such....soooo not sure of a name from a book or author but I have a few faves to share, lol



Jayden (we chose that name for our son)

Ethan

Kegan

Landon

caden

Logan



Those were the names I had chosen if we had a boy and when he was born we knew he was Jayden! I also LOVE the name Riley. I like it for a girl though but it can be used for both. I plan on having 3 children and we plan on using that name if we get a girl....if by the third one we don't have a girl we will use the name for the last child either way!

I am a big reader as well and I always liked Phineas from A Separate Peace (such a great character, too) but I can imagine most husbands balking at that one. I am racking my brain - I remember a character named Brady from a book I read as a kid (cannot remember the name). Harper Lees characters had cool names - Atticus, Jem (short for Jeremy I think) and of course Scout which I think a boy could definitely use (Demi Moore has a daughter named Scout). Ryder is popular for boys now. I live in a french community and Livain is popular here - I like it (pronounced LEE-van). I also like Cole and Wyatt and Angus, and we short listed Aiden, Hunter, Jonah, Max and Caden and named our 2 boys Samuel and Luc (french version of Luke - both names work well in both languages...). My husbands name is Roch (pronounced Rock) and his fathers name is Marcel, which I also like. My husband hated my favourite names which I had imagined naming my children since I was a child - Shane, Liam and Julian. Good luck - dont you hate it when your husband inconveniences you by having opinions...

Jack Cooper would honor two great authors - James Fenimore Cooper and Jack London. Or maybe a place associated with an author...Rowan??

I have to girls Carly Rose and Chloe Renee and was hoping for a boy so the name I had was Cole Riley you could switch it up or just use one but I liked both and couldn't think of a middle name for either so I put them together. Good Luck.

Salinger and you can call him Sal?

Anna - posted on 05/15/2009

Nicholas comes to mind - from The Great Gatsby. I don't see what your husband could say about it!

I think Harper is cute and could go for either sex!

With the last child, my husband and I could not agree throughout my 42 weeks of pregnancy on a name until we met our son. The moment we saw him, we both knew he resembled his grandfather, a Russian immigrant who became a national hero, and was at that moment named for him. My son has a very special namesake, so don't worry if you cant decide yet!

Eli?

That's tough! Does it have to be from a book?
