I am trying to come up with some different baby names for a boy. I don't want the normal every day name such as Michael or Andrew. Does anyone have any suggestions.

What can I do next?

My one-year-old son's name is Kole. We spelled it with a K to match my husband, Kevin. I thought if we ever have another boy I'd like to name him Kohan. Hope you find the perfect name!

My daughter's name is Addison which when you look it up is actually meant to be a boy name meaning son of Adam. We have yet to meet any other kids with this name.

Have you heard of the Baby Name Wizard? Well, this lady wrote a book called that and she has a website/blog as well. She has this cool graph thing on her site that you scroll over and it gives you a visual for how popular a name is alphabetically. When I was pregnant with my 3rd, we had NO names and I was totally stuck. I emailed her and told her what my other children's names are (Bronwyn,girl; Boaz,boy) and what I was looking for in a name (preferably one that did NOT start with a B).
To my surprise, she emailed me back within a few days and had a list of about 10 boy and 10 girl names (we don't find out what the sex is). Now, we didn't end up going with any of the names she suggested, and some of them were pretty "out there" (Cadagon comes to mind), but it was helpful none the less.

Hope that helps! And FYI, the name boy name we had picked out was Axel Griffin...turned out we had a Holland Hazel instead (even if she didn't actually have a name for 36 hours)!

I wanted something a little different for our kids too. My name is Jennifer and my husband is Michael. Two very common names for our age. So we came up with Maddox and Jordan. Jordan wasn't as common then as it is now. It seems like there are tons of Jordans now but you don't hear about many Maddox's! :) Good luck.

As a teacher, I can give you names I would absolutely NOT name a boy, but also it makes it hard when you have your own kids. I named my boy Rylan. Never ever had a Rylan in my class. Here are other names that I have liked:
Niko
Jackson
Keagan

I generally hate, hate, hate made-up names, and I much prefer traditional names (like Michael and Andrew), but for some reason, when I read your question, I instantly combined your and your husband's names and came up with "Jance." :)

Hope this helps or gets your mind flowwing. Go sit at a book store on the baby name isle and just look through till you find something. Also watch tv for inspiration. My daughter is Shelby M'Lynn (daughter and mother's name from Steel Magnolia's). My next daughter (if we have one) will be Loralei that I saw on a show called Gilmore Girls. And our son is named John Austin and goes by Austin. His name Austin came from the city because my hubby loves the Longhorns. Think of things you like and try and find a name from it.

And let us know what you choose! I like to hear what people are naming their kids!

What is your and your husbands' heritage? You could look up heritage names. I like the name Nicholas which is our eldest. Even tho you hear it occasionally, it is not a worn out name.

Hi

I have 3 boys and their names are Micah, Landon and Nicholas. I have combined both the traditional and new names. The amazing thing is that each name fits their personality. Just remember whatever name you name your son, let be one that no one can make fun of.
