Names

Hi

My wife and I are having our first child in November. We know its a boy but at this point we still have not chosen a name.

Just wondering if I could get some input from you guys. What names do you like? Maybe I can come across something that we have not thought of.

Thank you so very much
Colin

I just had 2 twin girls a few months ago.

My wife, and I spent many evenings picking out names. I enjoyed looking through our family tree for some ideas. We had to alter them a little for current times, but I think we did fine. Plus, they will have a little connection to the past.

Melanie Renae
Katie Denae
Kelli Ann

I also liked

Tiffany, but my wife disliked a girl in high school, and hated the name.

As far as the boy name?

I have some Cherokee Indian a few generations back. My Great Great grandmother was Mourning Star, and her dad was just "Asa"

Strange names in modern times

You say Jake and it reminds me of Charlie Harper's nephew!

Careful with Jake. Every 4th kid I see today is named Jake, and their are several in each of my kids classes. Ditto for Lucas (Luke).

I would go with Satchel.

Dylan. That's my sons name. Or Buster. It used to be a fairly common name and now no one has it.

All good suggestions!

With regards to 'Jake' I know what you are saying. Its hard to find a name that isn't popular these days.

Here are some we have narrowed it down to:

Charles
Issac
Rowan
Gabriel
Greyson
Elliot

Kind of leaning towards Greyson

How about Jib?
or maybe Kazushi?
or maybe Saku?

Guaranteed not to run into anyone else this side of the world with those names.
