Although Baby is sending me decidedly female vibes, I've been trying to come up with at least a few boy's names I like. The problem is there are a few girls names that I just adore, while boy names all just sound alright to me. But here's the list anyway-

Westley or Wesley Michael (which do you all like better?)
Caleb Michael
and I don't know what anyone else will think about this but I just love the name Gilbert (as in Gilbert Blythe, from Anne of Green Gables) so Gilbert Michael- but would that be mean? It seems like it would be easy to make fun of, possibly.


Thanks!

I actually haven't seen the movie, but was talking to a co worker about it last night. I actually have had Blythe on my girl's name list for a while, although not after Gilbert... just because it was a name I thought was pretty. You're right about the "t" in Wesley, I hadn't thought of that.

I don't know about other literary male characters. I love Atticus from To Kill A Mockingbird, but really don't care for the name. I'd really like to find a name that isn't popular, but doesn't sound made up. I guess that may be what everyone's looking for.

p.s. Cute puppy!

Atticus is such a great name but I don't have nerve to use it. "Harper" is a nice name in homage to TKAM, but I also think of Harper as a girl's name. I guess it could work for a boy.

Harper Wesley is nice. Or flip it.

re: p.s. Thanks, she's my girl. Her name is Halo, after the game.

Harper is actually a family name, for females. My mom and best friend love it (for a girl) and it used to be on my list, but truthfully I've never cared for it. I have a dog named Cash, after Johnny. He's just turning 3 and so well behaved! I know he'll be great with Baby, I'm so glad he'll be around for a while still.
