boy name help

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I found out yesterday that we're having a boy.


Please vote! And if you have any suggestions (or comments about the names on the list), I'm all ears! Middle name will most likely be James, but it's not 100% set in stone.

Thanks!

ETA: My daughter's name is Amelia Marilyn, if that makes any difference.

I think I liked more than 3/4ths of those names, so I was no help! :P

Well at least you didn't hate 3/4ths of them! Thanks for voting!

I like the first names, but isn't other boy's middle name james? or am I imagining things?

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

It is one of his middle names. It's also Doug's (my SO for those of you not on my FL) middle name, his father's first name, and the name of a close friend of mine who passed away a few years ago.

Amelia was going to be James if she was a boy, but since then, I've decided that I like it better for a middle name.

I don't mind reusing it. I think it's kind of fun to have all the boys with the same middle name.

I told myself I would choose two. I love Gabriel & Adrian the best (but I liked about 90% of them!) Congrats on the baby boy! I just found out last week I am having a girl :)

I'm pretty critical with these things, but this is how I voted:

Thumbs up:
Elliott James
Nicholas James
Simon James
Adam James
Adrian James
Benjamin James
Ronan James
Dexter James
Felix James
Milo James
August James

Thumbs down:
Gabriel James - too genericly trendy... best way I can describe it
Micah James - don't like fn
Zachary James - don't like fn
Spencer James - really dislike the fn
Levi James - can't picture it on an adult/makes me think of jeans
Noah James - same as Gabriel
Asher James - dislike fn

This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for! Thank you for your honesty!

Wow, I love your taste in names! The only one I actually dislike is Ronan. There are a few I'm indifferent about, but I like them for the most part :).

Thanks

I like most of your names. I voted no on Milo not because I don't like it, but because I think it sounds too similar to Amelia.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't even notice that. Milo IS a lot like Amelia. Thanks!

I love Elliot, Nicholas, Simon, Benjamin, Levi.
Elliot is my SO's middle name, Nicholas is my brother, Simon is my son, Benjamin is my first love and Levi is my cousin :) All great names.
I pretty much liked everything you had chosen other than Felix, Micah and Dexter.
