Need help with names.

I just joined the community, I figured it'd be a good place for some help with a name. I'm currently pregnant and due in December. We don't know the sex yet, but my boyfriend is dead set that I'm having a boy. I want a boy, the only problem is that any time I think of baby names all I can think of are girl's names. I wouldn't want to give my child a popular name, but definitly something that isn't too off the wall (spelling or pronunciation wise)

Can any of you give me a few suggestions? Maybe a few of your favorite boy's names?

Congratulations!! I'm in the same boat as you, I hope I have a girl only because I can't for the life of me, find a boy's name that I really like. I'm just so frustrated!

You might look at the babynamer hosted by the Oxygen network (you can google it) - it's a great way to look up names and see information about their popularity and social perception.

Go to the bookstore and flip through baby name books and see what pops out. Keep a huge list going, and you'll start to whittle it down. Think about people in your family, books or movies that you love, and names will come out of the woodwork. Good luck, and let us know what happens!

I tend to like names that are a little different. These are my favorites: Arthur, Caius, Cedric, Denver, Felix, Gavin, Isaac, Jasper, Joel, Kenneth, Kenyon, Leo, Rio, Tavish, Theodore.

This is a good page for finding name ideas that aren't currently in the top 10, top 20, top 50... whatever your limit may be. You can also see what names are trending upwards, and which are being used less. http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, there was a character in the movie with that name I think. It's been on my list for years though.
