Just for fun. No, really!

I'm having a baby boy in about a month. Which is great and all, but we (my husband and I) can't agree on any names. In fact, we never did find any names we both liked for the last baby (who, thankfully, turned out to be a girl).

So throw them out, male names you like. Please don't recommend Boba Fett; my other half has already suggested it.

Just some I like . . .

Michael
Mark
Christopher
Steve or Stephen
Benjamin
David (somewhat)
Robert (somewhat)
And my own . . . Charles
I also like some of the most unusual names if they work with the last name (Harrison Ford, Jackson Browne, etc.), especially if the last name is a very common one.

To me, there is a lot more nice girl names than boy names.

or study your spam and pick one from there.

When my oldest boy was born, I gave him what was then an unusual name. Apparently, everyone else liked it, too, because now there's always two or three boys in his class with the same first name. Sigh.

Whatever you do, don't make his middle name "Wayne" or he'll turn out to be a serial killer. :D

I am partial to Zackary (my son's name), though of course most other people spell it the more traditional "Zachary." I also love Shawn, his middle name, though some spell it "Sean." I like the name Hayden, which my cousin is planning to name his baby boy due in August, but it seems to me that name is becoming REALLY trendy. Which could be a bad thing later down the road when your son ends up being one out of 4 or 5 Haydens in all of his classes (ugh, I know of what I speak, there were always a ton of other girls with my actual first name growing up). I am also partial to Ethan, Luke, Noah, Taylor, Tyler, Devin, and Hunter. I like Connor but that one seems way too popular these days, also.

Have fun choosing! =)

Aurelius?


Or perhaps my favorite: Weren Cole? He would be ht unique kid in school. I could be the godfather.


Or you could name him after Weren's nephen, Carter Cole. I have always liked the name Carter.

Viagra? Maybe you get different spam than I do. Sigh.

Seriously, though: Sean, Ian, Ramiro, and Stephen are some I like. If I'm feeling silly, I go with Juan Wong, the name of a dear friend who's half-Ecuadorian and half-Chinese. I'm not making this up.
