Boy names

[space4breathing.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I found out the other day that we are having another boy! Just thought I'd get some opinions on the names we are considering so far. I already have one son, Ian Thomas and our last name is rather long and starts with a B. I'm also open to any suggestions for middle names, combos or just names you think I might like. TIA!


Adam (This was one of my top picks last time.)

Caleb

Corey, Cory

Drew (I love Andrew, but I have an Uncle with that name and I just don't want to share. So, I figured Drew is pretty close.)

Ethan (I love this name, but I think it may sound too similar to Ian. My husband thinks they sound cute together.)

Evan (Again with the 'an'.)

Joel (considering for a middle name)

Owen

I realize my list is pretty small. I've been through an entire book and this is all me and my husband could agree on...

Oh, and we were also considering Durell/Durrell as a middle name with our first son, not sure if we'd want to use it now, but I'd like to know what you think of it just in case.

My favorites:

Adam
Corey or Cory
Drew (I really like this name myself, and even considered it if we have a boy, but unfortunantly it doesn't sound too good with our last name)
Joel

Congrats on your new little boy! :)

Caleb and Owen are my favourites so what about Caleb Owen?

[specialc.livejournal.com]

Caleb Owen is cute. I was thinking Caleb Joel...I kinda think its cool!

[bouncepogo.livejournal.com]

I second Caleb....love that name. Caleb Joel is cute...C.J.! :)

I also like Adam from your list.

Ethan, Owen, and Evan sounds too cutesy with the brother's name being Ian for my tastes.

You're welcome. And congratulations!

lol My sister doesn't like any of them either. She sent me a list of suggestions that included Coy, Mika and other not so traditional names that I just don't care for. It's just a matter of taste really. Thanks anyway! :)

Adam Joel
Caleb Ethan
Ethan Joel
Joel Ethan

I like all of them, really, except not really Cor(e)y or Owen, but mostly just because they're not my style. They're all great names. I think Evan and Ethan *do* sound very close to Ian, which sucks, because Ethan is probably my favorite name on this list :)

I love Evan, Caleb and Owen!

[ber-waves-of.livejournal.com]

My faves are Caleb and Drew :)

Joel is my #1 boy name for the next time around. I think Adam Joel sounds awesome!

[screaming--pink.livejournal.com]

Caleb Reese was a boy name I considered.
But then I finally decided on Lucas James. :]

[unfshine.livejournal.com]

Caleb is my #1 boys name right now. I LOVE IT! :)

[sherball.livejournal.com]

Adam - really really don't like it

Caleb - love it!

Corey, Cory - not crazy about it... knew too many girl corey/cori/cory's in my lifetime.

Drew - never been a fan

Ethan - LOVE This name!

Evan - nah

Joel - I used to really like this name, but over the years my interest in it has lessened.

Owen - I think it's good as amiddle name, but don't care for it as a first name.
