New parent... im not exactly happy but... i'll do it....?

Question

17 going to be a dad, what are some good names for a Boy? Girl

Answer 1

congrats! you may be young and not excited about this baby -- but you will never regret it. you will come to love your child more than anything! good for you for sticking around and taking responsibility.

as far as names go, just look up ''baby names'' on yahoo. there are so many sites out there!

Answer 2

Good luck man, sometimes people are not ready at even older ages, I know I wasn't when I found out I was pregnant at twenty four. I was scared the entire time of the pregnancy up to the day I had her.

After my daughter was born it was a whole different story. I didn't know I could love someone that much. I hope you can find that too. Her dad felt the same way as me but loves our daughter very much and sees her every other weekend. I am sure it will be very difficult at first but worth it!!

Some of the names we had gone through for boys were (my favorite) Aiden Eric, (his favorite) Samwise Anthony (yeah from the books), Ian, and of course the father/grandfather's names.

For a girl I liked Lauren Beth, he liked Rayne. I finally agreed on Rayne only if I could have my grandmother's name as the middle name which is Arbutus. He said that Arbutus Rayne sounded much better than Rayne Arbutus. So we now have an Arbutus Rayne who we call Abby for short.

Answer 3

It really does sound like you want help with names. But you are scared about being a dad when you still feel like a kid yourself. So much you want to do with your life, but now feeling tied down and somewhat trapped.

Kids can be a great source of joy (if you allow them to be). if you are feeling trapped or scared then try and look at the positive. Age helps in parenting...I will admit...but to be a good parent takes a good attitude and a positive outlook.

Good names? Depends upon if you want old classics or newer more jazzy names. Caleb, Noah and Michael are old favorites for a boy whereas Dakota, Jet are newer names.

Girls...old classics like Ruth, Suzanne and Charlotte are ever popular but new names are Jasmine, Angel and Brittany.

Good luck, its a hard road that builds character but in the end it can be well worth it.

Answer 4

congrats! I see that your attitude isn't the greatest but hey your young I see why your attitude is like that..just try to be happy about it you will understand after the baby is born how much fun it really is!!!! but anyways you wanted names.....well I will tell you what I did I asked around what people thought was a cute but different!!! if you watch t.v. you can get some names that you might like...with me on my first child name I had got off from a football game. I was watching a football game one night the guy name was corey dillion I thought that dillion was a really cute name I know that it was his last name but it a really cute first name I just spelled it different (dylan) and with my second child I didn't have a name for him untill the time I gave birth to him I had a list of names that I like but I couldn't figure out what name I liked the best but sometimes just by seeing what the baby looks like can help you pick in others words my son looked more like zackarie than any of the other names I had for him....if this doesn't work just go to like wal-mart or targets.....book store...and buy a book I brought a book when I was pregnant with my first child and scanned through it they got books out there that have lots of name. or instead of buying a book you can just look for baby names on the web......


Good Luck with the baby!!!!
its the best feeling in the world once you see your baby for the first time after 9 months or longer.....just make sure you play role in the baby life the father is just as important as the mother

Answer 5

My first pregnancy was a surprise and I was 20 and the father and I ....well we didn't know each other that well......we had just started dating.....Some may call my first child a mistake or an accident.....but to me ...he's a BLESSING! He is now 4 yrs old and absolutely amazes me everyday. The father and I had problems in the beginning because we felt "stuck" but now we have three boys 4, 2, and 10 months and we absolutely LOVE them. BEST thing that ever happened to us. They will change you for the better hopefully. Have a good attitude...this will be absolutely amazing...it's a miracle. The look on my husbands face each time our sons were born was priceless. A look I've only seen 3 times .....amazing....

Here are some names:
Boys:
Maddox
Isaac
Josiah
Aspen
Elijah
Evan

I like unique names :)
GIRLS
McKenna
Avery
Giselle
Ava
Emily
Sydney

Answer 6

I would write different names down and see which one goes better with the last name.

Also, ask yourself if the name will be good at different ages in their life. What sounds OK for a child doesn't always fit for later on in life.....too trendy at times.

Pray for your family, the baby and yourself. Tiny babies and toddlers require a lot of patience when they cry and you are sleepy. The mom can get very stressed and Needs support and help very much.

Often she can get so tired or just busy and you feel like she isn't paying attention to you. All this is normal so don't take it personally. They both need you. Ask your parents for help at times and get out for awhile. I hope the mother is mature enough to handle this too.

Things you do for the baby will leave a lasting imprint in his or her mind long term.......be patient and loving. No one says it's easy, but rewarding long term. Buy books on raising children and even marriage..

And, you will need a good job. Pray daily for guidence.

Answer 8

I can understand that you are NOT happy. I wasn't either, but I'm sticking it out. Whew

Good for you to not runnaway from your special kid that'scomming soon to meet you. Now you have the most important job in the world. A little baby's HERO. Everything that you do and say are super important.

Alex / boy . . . . . these are some nemes that are simple, and smart.
Nelson/ boy
Mina / girl
Gemma / girl

Some like to name the same as yours / your grandparents name.
You can also think of people whom you admire and who you think are smart

Do everything that YOU yourself can do to make sure that this does NOT happen again. Allways use condoms, wait if you don't, learn to pull out, allways USE CONDOMS.

Try not to run scared and by all means DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS, they DON'T KNOW! Remember, the new baby wasn't ready for you either. Just wants LOVE.

You are on the RIGHT TRACT. A real good person has one comming just like him.

Answer 9

Theres a book you can buy at barnes and noble with tons of baby names in it and some really cool ones and it tells you the meaning of each name. Hope this helps. Or if its a boy name it after you and keep the name in the family thats what I'm going to do If i have a son.

Answer 10

I know a couple that had a baby very young too and I wasn't too old myself.......you will do great and even when things get tough......hold your head high and know that you did the right thing! Good luck and best of wishes....anyways about the baby that was born to the young parents....they named him Destin and if he was a girl he was going to be Destiny.......kind of fit since they weren't really looking to become parents at the time either!
