I hate boy names

[bratty-lil-fae.livejournal.com]

I love my son, I am excited to be 21 weeks pregnant with another little boy. I HATE naming boys. Girl names are easy, if we had a girl she would have been Amelia Grace, but we cannot find boy names that we love to save our lives.

It took us forever to name our now 2 year old son, Nicholas Cael, who day to day goes by his middle name of Cael (pronounced Kale, like the vegetable). And it is now taking us forever to agree on a name for the boy on the way.

We both kind of like Isaac or Jacob, he prefers Isaac, I prefer Jacob (mainly because I associate Isaac with the devil child from when I taught preschool Sunday school, and that child was evil and mean and horrible and he was only 3), but we cannot find a middle name that we love the way we loved the name Cael. We vaguely can agree on Isaac Dai (websites vary on pronunciation of Day or Die, we prefer Day for pronunciation), but again, neither of us are in love with the name.

Unfortunately it's not even a matter of agreeing on names, I can't even find a name that I love myself to convince my husband of, it's like I see all boys names and go "meh".

and for the fun of it and something happy in this post

I like Dai! I think it's cool. Would you continue the middle name being used tradition? Dai would be a nice first name!

If we were to go with an unusual name that we both loved yes it would be the middle name. We both believe it is important for future professional/etc purposes that the child have a more "traditional" first name they can use if they choose for professional life. If my son Cael chooses to go by Cael forever so be it, but if somewhere in life he wants a "normal" name, he has the option of going by Nicholas or Nick.
