Baby Name Ideas

A great name that is actually very old (blend of Irish and Gallic origin) but is not that common is Logan. It is a strong name that means "of the hollow/or "of the land."
See if your husband likes this.

My son's names were chosen for their meaning. Nathaniel is "gift of God". Verien is from the Latin --veris veritatus, "truly, faithfully". Nathaniel is now a youth minister and Verien is the "one and only Verien" on My Space, but I have found a few other Verien's. He has used this to his advantage on CD's. He majored in Christian Music Business.
My youngest I wanted a special name, so he is Thane Veren--a thane is one who goes out and fights for a king, veren--having truth and faith. I taught both Verien and Thane that their names meant truth and they would never go wrong with the truth in their lives. Thane lived up to his name as he majored in social work and the Bible and is a missionary to the Ukraine.

I had a miscarriage, but for the next baby I looked through the geneology and found some old family names with meaning. Perhaps you could try that.

I really like the name Alistair, which means light, there's also Oliver, Collin, Stephen; I'm sure you'll find the perfect name.

You don't have to pick out a name before you have the baby, my little sister was almost a week old when my parents finally named her.

Check out the most popular baby names for each year on the SSA website, http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ . If you want an uncommon name check out the 900th - 1000th most popular names or you can see what is most popular in your state. Although I'm still trying to conceive, I check out this website and dream of the names I would choose. lol

P.S. I really like Jackson too. Other names I like are Xavier, Preston, Jarett.

First, congratulations!
Secondly, I'd like to hear your last name because that helps to fit a first name with it. My son's name is Evan Isaac, which means Little (Laughing) Warrior...it really fits him to a tee!
My daughter's name came from a movie my husband and I both loved and it was set in the early 1900's( her name is Elise V.).If you like 'old sounding names' try books, movies and plays from early eras.
We also looked at names in the phonebook(sometimes last names make good fist names)
Here some names I have heard of or considered for myself:

Ethan(means Strong)
Isaiah (God's helper)
Tristan
Trent (river)
Hayden (fire)
Carson
Benjamin(son of my right hand)
Aden(Aidan/Aiden) (handsome)
Quinn( wise)
Quinton
Sawyer
Donavan (stong fighter)
Griffin (strong in faith)
Elliot
Sterling( pure/high quality)
Wiley
Drake (dragon)
Tyson (firey)
Tanner
Hunter
Lance (short form Lancelot)
Trevor (wise)
Ashton
Landon
Jonathan( gift from God/Jehovah gives...my personal fave)
Tyler
Dustin (fighter)
Spencer
Aldan
OK having a bit too much fun looking at this(since I am done having mine;)...hopefully one of these will spark a creative thought for you...good luck!
Blessings,
L.

Hi,
You mentioned your first son's name is old fashioned so the web site below might be helpful. The Social Security Admin. lists the top 1000 names starting from 1880.

Hey! I just had a boy 3 months ago and we named him Merrick, after his Dad. I love the name and get compliments on it very often. It's a very old Gaelic name meaning 'ruler of the sea'. Not too many Merrick's out there, but it's not weird either.

I'm in the same boat. I don't have a name either and our 5th boy is due anytime. We have ANDREW, RICHARD, ELLIOT, JOHN, with middle names LYON, HUDSON, JOSEPH, and GAVIN. With this one, I told my MIL that I was having Braxton Hicks, and that's what my FIL thought we named the baby! So we've been debating on keeping Braxton, as it's pretty neat. We also like James Ambrose... good luck! All are sort of old fashioned. They are also family names.

Hello, My name is R. and I am a 38 yr old Mom of two. Jaden & Ryen. I just came across an unusual name last night. I was reading the Bible and in the beginning of Acts it mentions a man who's nickname was Justus. So I though I would mention it, in case you like it. It could go both ways ( girl or boy ).

R.

Dear V.,
I had picked names for my boys only to have them change after I gave birth, saw them, and interacted w/ them a little, so don't worry about a "deadline". My boys are Miles Jackson, and Korbin Jasper.
Runners up included: Liam, Caine, Henry, Charles, Sterlin, Ian, Zane, Alton (my husband liked, not so much me), Ely, Porter, Preston.

Hope there is something here you either like or will trigger a good one.

Cheers,
E.

My husband thought all the boy names i picked out where girly so he picked our boys name. Vincent i love it we call him vince it is so cut for a child then when he grows up he can go to vincent it sounds powerfull. Let us know what name you pick and congrats and good luck on the new baby.

I named my son after his father but my heart was set on Matthew James (which I liked plus we had very close mutual friends with each name). I swore that would be the name for any male child I may have in the future. When I became pregnant with my second child I was still set on the name but my current husband wanted a Jr. too. I don't dislike his first name but do not like his middle which made it even harder to reach an agreement (especially since his middle was his maternal grandfather's middle name too). I also wanted my son to have his own name.

We reached a compromise of Matthew Charles (Charles was his other grandfather's middle name and I too was close to him before he passed away). Wouldn't you know it, my second child was a girl (her initials are M.C.M just as a boy's would have been).

My sister also likes Justin Kyle (which definately doesn't sound old). I still like Matthew James (or even Matthew Charles)...I don't know your religious beliefs but Matthew James can sound old if you tie it back to biblical times.
