Baby boys name

Post by Kurieuo »

My wife has been pregnant and she just had an ultrasound and we will be having a baby boy. We've read through names and more names but none really jump out at us.

We are leaning towards Luther, but really it is still up in the air. So I'm throwing it out to you guys. Any male names in particular you guys/gals like?

Gretchen's favorite boy name is Elijah. Mine is probably Gabriel.

We have both boy and girl names picked out already (don't know which we are having yet). If a boy, it'll be Josiah Christopher; if a girl, Josephine Corbett. Beyond the fact we just liked the names, we already had the middle names picked out. Corbett is a family name on her side, so she wanted to pass it on. I got my middle name from my dad's first, so I'm going to continue that with our first boy. So then it was just a matter of picking a name that sounded good with the middles.

We also looked a lot at meaning. Josiah means "My God saves" and Josephine means "[May the Lord] add to me."

Hope this helps, and major gratzies by the way

God bless

And that, brothers and sisters, is the kind of foolishness you get people who insist on denying biblical theism. A good illustration of any as the length people will go to avoid acknowledging basic truths.

How about:

Joshua

That's a good name...

Hmmm, are we talking Biblical names? If so, how about:Isaiah, Peter, Jacob, John or my personal favorite biblical name - Jared(my name) :D

or you can go with Mourice(but i don't think you will), which is my most favorite name :D

Hmm... might be better to start with the middle name. Doesn't necessarily have to be a biblical name although we are more attracted to Hebrew names.

Now its a new day I'm not too sure about Luther. Its sounds like an evil name. I'm sure Byblos would agree. ;) Too much Smallville I think. :P

My wife wanted Joshua, but I knew some Joshua's which make it seem quite plain to me. Might go for Pierre Gustave Toutant Kurieo... but sincerely doubt it. :)

Luther, Yikes! You're right. If you're considering French names I was supposed to be Jean Claude so I like that (unless you're not a fan of Van Dam that is). If you're thinking biblical, 2 of my favorites are Mathhew and Mark (with middle names Taylor or Parker that will go with either one). I'm sure whatever your wife ultimately picks will be fine by you though, right? :wink:

I've always liked Matt, and still do. Matt/Matthew.

My son's name is Zakery. One reason I named him that is that I like the Z sound, and if I was going to have to say " . . . , clean up your room now!" (for the 10th time) I wanted the name to be at least fun to say.

Eric is pretty nice too.

Caleb Christian is the name of our latest,(grandson) I picked the name because of the biblical Calebs fiesty and faithful nature.

I also like Jared.

If you want to go with a Christian name you might like Demetrius.

Saint Demetrius is the patron saint of hunters.

I think that would be a better middle name though, not first name.
