Boy Names.

found out on new years eve that it is a boy to be expecting this may.

middle name will depend on first name selection.

just a quick poll of current first name contenders:

[Poll #1117374]new





*I opted for a poll because i don't really care to hear your negative comments on each name.
It would be more helpful for me if you would be so kind to pick your favorite out of the four chosen.

*I also realize that Holden from Catcher in the Rye wasn't the most likable character which has been reason enough for many to think that this name is a bad one always to be associated with the book.
To me thats like saying don't name your kid Ariel because it was a disney mermaid character and that is all people will think of. Plain absurdity. A name is a name.

Rather demanding for wanting people's opinions.

Then why ask here if you don't like how people offer their opinions?

I'd skipped over everything but the poll, but...looking back on it, wow.

It was also difficult for me to choose between Finn and River, but in the end I went with Finn.

Congratulations on the baby! :]

I love love love the name Finn. I like River and Holden too, but Finn has been a favorite of mine for a while.

I like Wyatt a lot.

Wyatt Finn sounds awesome.

I voted for Holden, but I like Holden and River equally, they're both on our list.

If I could vote for Wyatt twice I would because it was my fiance's fave name of the 4 also.

I like Finn the best, but Holden is okay, too. I just think Finn has fewer negative references (although I actually DO like Holden Caulfield, haha). River and Wyatt both seem too trendy/yuppyish. But really, any except for River are okay. Finn's just the best out of all of them.

I like Wyatt, and River and Holden are okay, just not my style, but unfortunately Finn will always remind me of a fish. I know a lot of people love it, though. So anyway, my vote goes to Wyatt.

I love River, so I picked that one, but I really liked Holden also.
congrats! and good luck with picking middle names!

[identity profile] museofmyself.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I voted for River, but could have just as easily voted for Holden or Finn. I'm wondering what middle names you're considering now. Congrats! :)

[identity profile] missmaxattax.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
HOLDEN!
Honestly, it's the only one I *really* like... and I LOVE it.
But to place the others:
-Holden
-River
-Finn
-Wyatt

I like all four names a lot. In the end I decied to go with Finn.

[identity profile] cherrysorbet.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
My favourite is River.

[identity profile] requiem-morrow.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
I like them all, but I probably like Wyatt least. River, Finn and Holden are all on my list too.


Congrats!

I love Finn! Such a great name.
I like River too, but more as a middle name.
Wyatt is not really my style, but in my opinion, it's a fine anme.

As for the whole Holden-discussion, I like Holden because of The Catcher in the Rye. I don't think he is a negative connotation at all.

[identity profile] bobinwales.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with miranda__writes - I love Finn, and it got my vote, but I like Phineas more!!

I also like Wyatt!

[identity profile] after-the-ashes.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I love Holden. And your taste in names =]

[identity profile] sloane-hd.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Finn is my brother's name, it's actually Phineas but we call him Phin.
Ariel is one of my middle names.
I actually quite like Holden.

I agree with you about the doing the poll thing, because it does get negitive sometimes if you just want simple answers. I just think that maybe the way you said it came off as mean.

But anywho, I voted for Wyatt but I do like the name Finn as well. I would like to hear some middle names that your thinking of :]
