Question

Dont put..soccer chick...it just wont be good...and i would really appreciat it if you wouldnt put www.babynames.com....i know that website..but i need an actual persons opinion...Thank You...I think....

Answer 1

That honestly depends. If you want the name to reflect your and the baby's ethnic heritage (and yes, even white people have ethnic heritage they can be proud of), you should probably pick a popular boy's name from your ethnic background. Fo instance, I hear Keiran and Padriac (pronounced very similar to the name Patrick) are very popular for Irish boys these days.

If you simply want a good, solid boy name, stick with the classics that are popular in your culture. More than one study has shown that boys do better with commonplace names and tend to be teased, have lower self confidence on the average, and actually are looked upon less favorably by teachers, than those with ordinary names, so it would actually be to your son's advantage if he was, say, borderline on getting into a gifted program, if he was John and not Ja'quan. I know, I know, pandering to prejudice, but take the advantages you can get.

Besides, if you want to know whether or not a name is good, do the "dinner call" test. That is, walk to the nearest door and start yelling for your son to come home to dinner. If you feel like an idiot screaming his name, chances are you have a loser. For instance: "Oberon! Time for dinner, Oberon! Oberon, you get home this instant!"

Would you feel dumb screaming that? Probably not a good name, then. =)

Michael's always a nice choice, so is Thomas. I'm partial to Matthew and Alexander, and especially the name Cody, myself... but out of the traditional names, the one you pick that will probably seem most beautiful to people are names where the first and last name have the same number of syllables, and the middle either one more, or one less (odd, I know, but it makes the name "roll off the tongue" in a way most people find satisfying.

Hopefully that was helpful to you. If you've got any more questions, though, feel free to email me and ask. =)

Answer 2

Use my name

Answer 3

I named my first two boys out of the bible, Stephen Zachariah and Jonathan (instead of just John) Levi.
I never cared for it before, but the Hezekiah (I hope I spelled that right!) with the nickname Kiah is pretty great.
Give the kid a 'normal' first name and something unique or at least uncommon for the middle name. Then he can go by withever he prefers when he's older. He can chose to blend in with the crowd or stand out depending on his own personality.
Just a tip, when choosing a name, repeat it 50 times before you put it on the birth certificate. Trust me, you don't want a name you're going to end up hating when you have to yell it constantly.
Good luck with the new baby and congrats!

Answer 4

It depends on what kind of names you like.

Classical names such as Henry, Charles, Samuel, James?

or

Popular names such as Aidan, Ethan, Joshua, Derek?

or

Trendy names such as Jayden, Caden, Braxton, Logan?

or

Last names as first names such as Harrison, Jackson, Taylor, Ford?

or

Place names such as Austin, Paris, Phoenix, Ashton?

There are just so many names in the world and it is really up to you and what your taste is, how it sounds with your last name, and if it is a good name to grow up with. Maybe try to think how the baby makes you feel when you think about a name, and if it feels like a good name for the baby, it probably will be.

Good luck!
