Favorite boy names

**CYCLNST8** · 05-24-2011, 08:04 AM

Just as long as it isn't Aiden, Aydin, or how ever the hell you wanna spell that wussy name. I'm so sick of that name. You have the show "Sex in the City" & single moms everywhere to thank for that name. Give him a strong, manly name. You have the daughter; it's daddy's turn. I've always liked the names Erwin & Luke. Those names sound like guys you'd want in your corner in a bar brawl. Also never been a bad looking Luke in history. Fact.

We're having twins in a month and decided on Greyson (boy) and Campbelle(girl). Also on the boy's list were Hayden (like the name but couldn't do it for obvious reasons) and Ascher. We had a really hard time with girl's names.

Biologically speaking, she had nothing to do with that. It was all your doing. No pun intended.

We were going to name our son Kyle James. But we wound up with three girls.

Stay away from Herkimer, Elvis, Jethro, and Ebeneezer.

You say you want strong and masculine and then you say you like the name Erwin? Does not compute.

Yeah, Erwin Rommel was a major wimp.

Yeah, we both knew that, but I generally like to shirk responsibility.

Rommel was no Nazi, those ******bags killed him. Also, if you're going to use Erwin you have to go all the way and pronounce it AIR VIN.

True - try reading this. Note the source.

Erwin Rommel

"Rommel's force alone captures nearly 100,000 French prisoners and 450 enemy tanks losing in the process less than 42 tanks."

Oh, come on, he probably caught them on break. You know the French.

This +1

One of the best stories was a new co-worker who had a daughter with a "unique" name that's actually listed in this thread. Turned out two other co-workers had dogs with the same name.

Don't fail one of the first tests as a parent with the name you choose.

We almost deployed this strategy, but his initials would've been JEW, or JAW. We were careful about that.

We went with the nickname trade off instead of Junior. William/Bill, Richard/Dick, Jack/John, etc. And my wifes maiden name.

He is Jack Cooper. (Jack was what my grandpa went by, but was actually John, whom I was named after. And Cooper, being the maternal family name.) I love the combo.
