Baby Boy Name Suggestions

H.S. asks from Johnson City, TN

Hi! I am 22 weeks pregnant with my second child, and I recently found out that we're expecting another baby boy. With both of my pregnancies, I had no problem coming up with a girl name, there were actually quite a few that I loved. After much deliberation, and lots of time spent flipping through baby name books, we decided to name our first born son Julian Evan. With this pregnancy, my husband and I can't come up with any boy names we both agree on. He likes the names Elliot and Anderson, but I don't "love" either one of them. If any of you could respond with your favorite baby boy names I would greatly appreciate it. We like less common names (nothing in the top 50 preferably), and our last name begins with the letter S. Thank you!

What can I do next?

Hi,

I have not searched for baby names in 8 years, but thinking about kids in my daughter's classes here are a few names that are not "common" (at least I don't think they are)

Devon
Dylon
Jaydon
Bryce
Tristan
Tucker
Ace (that is actually my husband's nephews middle name)

Hope these help! All the best to you!

I really like Easton too. And we named our first son Andon, like Landon but without the L since our whole family is A names! I like unusual names too, but not too cooky since they have it the rest of their lives. Good luck!
