Boy Names

Well, Nick and I have been talking "boy names" recently. We have several that we like, but really aren't sure we found one we want to call our son. I know this is random and I could get lots of thoughts and opinions from all my blogging buddies, but I thought it would be fun to see if anyone is willing to share boy names with us. We have no rhyme or reason to our kids' names so anything is a go. Although we both have strong feelings about a name that could be mixed gender, so we want a manly name:) So all you out there.....any ideas as to what we should call our son??
I think it would be fun if you leave a comment and give me at least 5 boy names you are willing to share. If you aren't willing to share it cause you want to keep it for your own boy someday, then don't share it with us, cause I can't promise you that I might not use one of the names listed:)
Have a blessed day!

I have a few names that for various reasons we won't use but that I do like.

I always like these "L" names
Landon
Lane
Levi
Lucas
but with "Lindberg" they don't work so well.

I also like
Joel (bro-in-law eliminates that one for us)

Best wishes!

Hey Sandra...since baby names are in the forefront of my mind too, I'll share a couple I love but won't ever use because of our last name. I'm with Ann, use an -er name because you have a good last name to go with it!! As you can tell from the names of my other kids, I like last names as first names for boys...so the -er ones I like are: Tucker, Cooper, Asher, Fletcher, Parker. Good luck in yoru search!!

How about Shadrach, Meshach or Abednego? Just kiddin :)
Boys names were very tough for my husband and I, we had tons of girl names! Here's a few that I like:

Tyler
Landon
Trevor
Caleb
Mitchell
Carson
Tate

Good Luck!

P.S. I heard once that to know if you would like the name, go outside and yell the name 15 times and that might give you an idea if you like it enough to use it for your child :)

Okay seriously, I have been thinking HARD ever since you posted this and I'm struggling! Boy names are so hard! I finally just went to look online at boy names because I couldn't come up with any of the top of my head.

I really like some of the ones Sara mentioned - Asher and Parker.

A few others:

Cohen
Drew
Chase
Gavin
Liam

If I think of any more I'll let you know!

keep the names coming....some are very interesting that you have given. I really like a few of the names listed thus far, but could sure use some more ideas as we still do NOT have a name picked out. AHHH, sometimes this can be so hard.

I loved Solomon, call him Sol. Means wisdom. Love it. I think it's so cute, but my husband didn't like it. Bug. Anyway, I think it's darling!

Congrats by the way- how fun, a house full of boys!
