We have Chase Eliot, Mason Jarek, Dallas Christopher and Zander Christian. My cousin named his son Hayden Tucker...love it! Some of my other favorites are: Asher, Cole, Declan and Justice. There are some others I can't come up with right now.

Best of luck...I'm sure you'll pick a great name!

My nephews are Jared, Leo and Wyatt. A girlfriend recently named her boy Tate. I like Liam but my husband doesn't like it. Good luck!

I love Callan, but I don't care for Henrik. It sounds too German and 1940s. Just my opinion.

Myles, Lincoln, Jackson.

I love the name Avery.

1 mom found this helpful

Damon or Parker.
Those two names were my favorite when I was pregnant, but we ended up having a girl so we couldn't use them.

my son is Khayman Dean ( like Cayman islands ) khayman is egyptian for " fierce warrior"
i have never to this day heard anyone else with that name or spelling.

1 mom found this helpful

Cullen, Cooper, Hayden, Kayden, Jayce, Quinn

1 mom found this helpful

Tristan, Jackson, Liam, Avery, Asher, or Jasper

Good luck... I always think the name should flow, so without knowing your last name it is hard to tell...

Callan is kinda cool, and also Cullen

How about Mason or Colby?

I like the idea of pairing a not as common first name with a traditional middle name. Here are my suggestions:

Mason James
Gage Michael
Garrison Adam
Riley Scott
Aaron Joel
Jackson Todd

Hope this gives you and your husband some inspiration. Take care.

Good luck~ We had a terrible time choosing a name for our son... much harder than girl names for some reason!

Here are my sons names Devin Wade

Joshua Preston

Feel free to use any if you like them :-)

I love the names, Julian, Trevor, Tyler, Aaron, Ryan and Ian. I don't know alot of people with those names so I don't think it's super trendy and I don't think it's too traditional either.

I really like roman and bentley. If we have a little boy we are going to name him roman and ray for his middle name. Good luck..

I think my son has a great name - Cash Jonathan. Right now he goes by Cash but, with a more traditional middle name, he has the option of going by Jonathan, as well as using his initials C.J.

I love the name Chance. My FH didnt like it so we named our son Aiden Chance. Before we found out the sex of the baby Im carrying now (girl) I was thinking of boy names. Zacariah and nOah were my favorite.Callan is unique and cute. I have never heard it. Callan Henrik would be good also. Good luck

Just remember the poor child has to live with this "modern" name you are giving him. Everyone would need to know your last name in order to come up with a first name. Think about how your child will feel when the other children make fun of his name. Good luck.

I don't care for the name Henrik and think people will confuse it for Henry. I have a grandniece named Callan so I think of it more as a girl's name.

My grand nephew is named Torin Jacob. At first I wasn't sure about it but now I really like it.

Not a fan of Henrik for a first name- as someone else said, it sounds too 1940's German. I've never heard of Callan.

Some ideas- Spencer, Hudson, Camden, Simon, Liam, Leo, Kole, Thad, Winston, Oliver, Theodore, Frederick, Owen, Griffin, Sheldon, Henry

Henrik Demissie
Callan Paz
Wynn Paris (a musician I know...)
Caleb Elan
Sean Robin (my son's name..:)
Jack Finlay
Elias Pyle
Cedric Colm
Tristan Jay
Anton Henrick
Ansel Nicholson
Byron Paine

I have never heard of either one. Callan sounds more for a girl. Henrik... I just plain out don't like. BUT this is not my baby. Whatever name you give your baby will be what his name is. So think long and hard before giving him an odd name.
But I guess if you name him Callan you could possibly call him Cal for short.
What about Collin Nathaniel? That's a little not so common but still not far out there.
Good luck and congrats!

My 4 boys are
Ethan Blake, Mason Eli, Liam Reese, and Quentin Asher.

My cousin named his son Matthias.

My daughter has a friend named Callan and I can never remember how to say it...to the point it is ridiculous.

I like Henrik much better. I have always liked the named Brock. I think it sounds very masculine.

Find the right first name and then come back to us for the second name.

Love the name Henrik (but then again, I'm 1/2 Scandanavian), and Callan as well (although I keep switching Callan to Callum, but that's the Scottish side of me kicking in).

i named my son Kiel.(kyle) I wanted something "normal" but with a little kick to it! good luck and congrats on the pregnancy!

I love the name Callan that your DH suggested. My older son is named Gavin (a bit more popular than it was 11 years ago). And I have a 6 week old named Colton (DH picked it out).

Callan James
Callan Lee
Callan Michael
Callan seems to go with many names.

Good luck!

You might want to google some of those names before picking them...after a brief glance through the list, I came up with a few bloopers; Colby ( a type of cheese!!! ); Bentley ( British automobile ), Kohl ( just short of Kohl's, the retailer ).....Cullen might be an Irish cabbage soup..... :)

Amon, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Rhett, Ryan, Cannon, Mason, Gavin, Samuel, Jesse, Aaron, Adian, Hugh, Hector, Victor, Dominic, Davis, David, Darius, Jonas, Myles, Miles, Quintin, Raoul, Cyrus, Asa, August, Augustine, Augustus, Alaric, Ezekiel, Eli, Winston, Todd, Uriah, Tristan, Seth, Adrian, Rolo, Jarvis

I agree that I'm not sure I like Henrik. People won't know how to say it, and I personally like names that aren't easily misspelled or misprounced, I grew up with one! I wanted my kids to have names where you'd met at least one in your life. I love Callan, but I think I'd spell it Kallen or Callen, so it's not pronounced Cal-Ann. One of my favorites we never got to use is Kellen.

You've got some cool suggestions below, I also like Avery, Griffin, Parker, Trevor, Porter, Mason, Preston, Xander, Miles, Dean, Cole, Chase, Gage, Hayden, Leland, Logan, Quinn, Graham, Bentley, Caleb, Keegan, Chase, Elliott, Collin, Corey, Leo, Wyatt, Brant, Spencer, Carson, Carter, Harrison, and Colt.harder to pronounce but I love them -Taio (tye-oh) and Teo (tay-oh). Let us know what you pick!

Parker or my grandson is named Porter

Updated

A friend asked her 4 yr old daughter what they should name the new baby boy they were expecing
She said they should call him Rock Michael, and they did
Poor kid answers to Rock all his life
Like a boy named SUE

What about Callan Henrik? I like both names but the online site says Callan is a girls name, could be used for both I guess.
http://www.babyhold.com/list/Gaelic_Baby_Names/Callan/det...
I know many names are being used for either now though.
I like Liam Henrik.

Evan, Ethan, Jett, Ryus,... My nephew's middle name is Henrik. I found names for boys were harder for me and my husband. Girls names, for us, was way easier!! I like Caden, Cole.. Good luck!!!

We just named our son Asher Gray- I love it. Asher is somewhat modern, but is actually in the Bible. My new nephew's name is Caden. I like that one too!

I really like the name Henrik. I am living in Sweden now and it's a very traditional name but not very common.. I have known a couple of Henriks or Henricks and I have liked them all.. great people so the name is always positive in my ear.. Personally I think Callan is a little confusing.. could be that i have been out of the US for awhile but I'm not sure how I should pronounce it..

Henrik is very cute. It's traditional, just not here in the US :)

My boys are Jarrett Lee & Colton Jayce. I also like Jaelinn, Quinn, and Jarrin. My friends kids are:
Parker, Cooper, Hagen, Holden, Hawkin, Kale, Liam, Dylan, Trenton, Riley, Wrenn, Mason, Rock, Truman...the list goes on and on. Good Luck!

You have a lot of great responses, but I'll throw in my two cents. I have 3 boys and their names are:
Liam Robert (5 years old)
Jack Frederick (2 years old)
Ryan George (3 weeks old)

We always chose a family name for the middle name. We also liked Sean, Connor, Austin, and Henry.
