Just because I feel the need to do this every few months...

There are some new ones on here. I'm also always open to suggestions for boy names. Whenever I go to Nymbler, it either gives me trendy names I don't like (e.g. Carter and Aiden) or Biblical names I don't like (e.g. Ezekiel and Isiah).

Thanks!

I just think they're kind of not my style, though I do like Blake, Noah, Eli and Veronica. But there is no way you can name your kid Ben Stine. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Stein) Too weird.

Omg - never even thought of that! See? That's why I come here. =)

I really like your list a lot overall. I noticed two "Ben" names, which means the baby would be Ben Stine, which of course people of our generation will associate with Ben Stein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Stein), though children of the next generation may never hear of him.

Some boy names I like that kinda fit your naming style:

Caleb (nn Cal?)
Nathaniel (nn Nate or Nat)
Sebastian (nn Seb or Bastian)
Julian/Julius (I think Julius sounds better with Stine)
Oliver

Ones I like:
Ian
Hannah
Julia - don't love the name, but it sounds nice with the surname)
Josephine - dislike Josie, but meh)
Aaron - again, don't love the name but it sounds nice)
Patrick
Harrison
Veronica
Benjamin - it's my son's name! (but I just noticed the person who mentioned Ben Stine... yeah, I wouldn't do that then.)

Lots o' suggestions:
Abigail
Ada
Annabel
Clara
Edith (Edie)
Eleanor

I really do like Penelope but I hate Penny which I think is the inevitable nickname. Clin was one of the names I liked for my son but I thought Colin Stine sounded like a country.

I don't think people would automatically call a Penelope Penny. They might automatically use the usual nickname for super common names, but even then not necessarily. I've found with my own son that people will call him however he's introduced. We do call him Ben, but if I introduce him as Benjamin then people will call him Benjamin.

Anyway... I love Nell as a nn for Penelope. I don't think Colin Stine sounds any more like a country than any other name with the last name Stine would.

I liked a lot of your names, but I wouldn't use any name with the nickname of Ben, as your last name is Stine and all I hear is "Win Ben Stine's Money" (old game show, but Ben Stine is still around!)
