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! :)

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 :)

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

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

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.

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.
