What should we call our baby boy?

Question

Wife is due to give birth in three weeks. It's a boy but we still can't decide on a name. Any suggestions?

Surname is Power. So we can't really have things like: Max Power.

Answer 1

Evan Daniel Power

Answer 2

Hmm...last name Power that does make things a little difficult...

How about:
Gregory Michael Power
Alexander Joseph Power

Not sure what your first name is, but I have know a few friends that when a boy is born into the family they use the fathers first name as the baby's middle name. That would help make your son's name a nice strong one. As long as your first name isn't Austin or Max.

Congratulations!

Answer 3

First, there are certain names that are so popular now...everyone thinks they are being original, but these names are all over the place: Do NOT use: Aiden Aidyn Braden Braiden Braydon Caden Cade Kadey Cameron Jaden Ethan Zeke Zed Zeb Zach Zack Zac Jackson Jaxson Braxton. They have been so overused...as if someone went to walmart to buy their baby.

Also, We need more information:
1. What race are you? What religion?
2. Do you like trendy names, invented names, historical names?
(what image do you want to portray to everyone else about your baby?) Do you like common names, or names that nobody else has?
3. Would you name your baby after a favorite character in a book, play, tv show? If so, what are your favorites?
4. How would you describe yourself? Artistic? Cultured? Studious? Modern? Interested in history? What are you really interested in, or like to do most in life?

Put a comment about these things, and I will answer again ;)

Answer 5

there are baby name websites and baby name books.... you guys need to really look through them and discuss it.

- make a list.
- look at meanings.
- think of possible nicknames -- that may change your opinion of a name. if you love john but hate jack, perhaps you don't pick john.
- ask family members.... usually I don't care what they think, but one of our top name choices ended up being the name of a mistress of a family member, so that was NOT a good fit!!!
- check out the initials... make sure they don't spell something bad or wierd.
- write out the full name and see what feels right.

it sounds as if you have no ideas at all so I'm assuming naming him after a family member is not on the table? of course that's always an option and traditional in many cultures.

you know, once we just could not agree, so I asked my baby to tell me her name (before she was born).... one night I had a dream, and she told me her name.... it was not one we'd thought of but it was the only one we both agreed on!

with one of my children I had choices but had not decided... I wanted to meet her first. one name just felt like a good fit after the 2nd day.

in any event, best of luck with your new family!!!

Answer 6

Adrian Power, Seth Power, Marcus Power, Daniel Power... I just think these sound good with the name.

Answer 7

The name I like is Michael. But if you believe in god let him speak he already has a name pick out for your little one. Just give it time and the name will pop out, its going to be perfect for him. Best of Luck with you new baby.

Answer 8

During most pregnancies if there is not a name for the baby yet, usually when the baby is born a name will come out right then and there so just give it time or go with a family name

Answer 9

Have you thought of giving the baby your name? Or maybe you had a grandpa that has passed that you would like to pass down his name or your wife's grandpa.

I like names you don't hear every day
Braiden - my sons middle name
Landon
Trevor - my oldest son's name
Trebor - I new a mom that named her boy this....his dad's name was Robert
Find a middle name that you really like and then pick a first name that sounds really good with it.

Answer 10

Do you like traditional names, newer names, family names? It all depends on what you prefer.
Don't worry about picking a name that's going to get him teased, because kids will always find a reason to tease other kids.
Don't worry about picking a name that you think he'll hate because a lot of people hate their names.
Choose a letter that you'd like his name to start with & go from there. Just be careful with what his initials will spell. I have 2 male cousins whose initials are BRA and they were really embarrassed as kids, lol!
Oh yeah, and choose something that sounds good when it's yelled. :-)
