Send in your BOY name ideas


Daniel have an ongoing list of boy and girl names that we like, but the boy names seem to be a challenge for us. That is where you come in. Please send us your ideas!

We have some criteria:

1) Two syllables or less (we might be open to three, but prefer names that don't result in shortened nicknames)

2) Pairs up well with our last name: No names that start with "F" or end in and "ie" sound. (Frankie Fraley is out)

3) Try to avoid names in the top 100 list.

4) 'Hippie' and nature-inspired names are a plus.

Emmett
Oliver
Angus
Malcolm
Aiden
Callum
I'll send more if i think of more.

With Quinn, we considered Sage; with Porter we considered Isaac. Angus was always Angus.
A woman in town always thinks Porter's name is Cooper. I happen to love Moses (if my nickname weren't Mo with family, I'd have campaigned for it with Quinn).
I have the Baby Name Wizard. You're free to borrow it. It lists names for brothers of Hazel as:
Waldo
Hardy
Julius
Theo
Homer
I'm mad for this topic! The baby wizard voyager online is really fun.

Hi guys.
Well, I still love "Sage" for a boy. But it might be a little too "90's herbal" for your taste.
Some others:
Kai (rhymes with "eye")
Shay
......(I'll keep thinking.....)

Ramon

I did not look at anyone else's postings so if there are any repeats, they stole them from me. Here are my picks. I need to add the last name for full impact :)

Chase Fraley
Hayden Fraley
Chet Fraley (football star or model with this one, with just a touch of west virginia.)
