Help With Baby Names?

Question

My husband have it down to two...Rye William and Cortland William...which one do you like the best?

Answer 1

Either way, I feel sorry for the boy as he grows up with either name.

Answer 2

Are both names special or were they just made up? One good thing is that by the time he goes to school, every child there will have an odd name!
I like both names. I think they both sound like good boy names. Actually they could probably be considered either gender names. But most unusual names these days are.
How about Rye William Cortland? I'm a big fan of more than one middle name! That's another really popular thing these days.
If you can't agree on a name once it comes right down to it, then just do the next best thing- pick a Bible name! :)
Have fun with the baby!!!

Answer 3

Of the two options I like Cortland best personally (Rye just smacks too much of bread; but that could be just me cause I worked in a bakery for years!). There are many towns named after various Cortlands and the name just sounds strong. What about William Cortland?

Good luck and congratulations! :D

Answer 4

Rye, to many bad nicknames from Cortland. Plus Cortland sounds to girly, no offense. Rye seems cute and you don't hear it too much. Congrats on you baby!

Answer 5

Personally, I dislike both. Rye? C'mon! People are going to tease him for the rest of his life! And Cortland makes me think of a BasketBall court.

Answer 6

I definitely prefer Cortland.

Answer 7

I like Rye.....very cute!

Answer 8

Rye is awesome, haven't heard that one! ( besides bread)
