View Full Version : We need help with boys' names!

Our boys list is pretty small and nothing is really striking me as the name if this baby turns out to be a boy. And IMB: :storkboy::pregb:
Here's what we have so far:
Miles (my favorite, DH is just okay with it)
Griffin (just okay for both of us)
Owen (DH's favorite, too popular for me)
Aaron (my mn is Erin)
Finley (I like Finn and Finley, don't like that it ends in ee like Heidi does)
Liam (my stepdad is William)
ETA: I forgot Max or Maxwell, but I'ma lso concerned about popularity and DH isn't crazy about it.
And these three that I doubt I'd ever get DH on board with but are three of my favorites:
Linus
Felix
Wyatt
So what are your favorites from our list? Which one(s) do you think go best with Heidi? Any names you think follow our style?
TIA

I really like your whole list and think that they all could potentially be a brother to Heidi!!! Wyatt and Liam are my faves. I think it would be neat to use Aaron as a mn to honor you. Good luck.
IMB::girlpin::curtsy: so maybe this won't even be an issue:winky:

I'd say Wyatt 'goes' best with Heidi.

I love Miles and Griffin. They were our top two boy names. How about Seamus or Declan? I like all the names on your list.

I think Miles and Griffin go best with Heidi and I really like them as a sibset. I think that Finley, Liam and Wyatt are too trendy and Aaron too dated for Heidi. Owen goes pretty great too, not as great as Miles and Griffin -- it's one of my fave names but you know why I can't use it.

At first I like Wyatt best, but I think the first syllable is too close to the first syllable of Heidi...which is also true, but for some reason not as bad, with Linus, but is almost not true with Miles...obviously I'm no help there.
I think I like Griffin best for you with Miles being a close second. Finn, Felix, and Owen could work as well. I like that Aaron honors you, but I'm not sure how it fits with Heidi...Aaron Miles would be a pretty cool name though...and maybe Miles Aaron works?

I'm really surprised that your DH doesn't like Wyatt? He seems like the type that would love that name... since he likes to hunt and be outdoors, and Wyatt is usually associated with the outdoors, etc. Anyway, I love love LOVE Wyatt for you. With Miles as a close 2nd.
Other suggestions...

I love Owen and I really like it with Heidi as well. I also like Max a lot. I think Miles sounds nice with Heidi as well. But I think all 3 are popular to different extents.
Owen, Wyatt,Aaron, Liam, Max and Maxwell are all top 100 in WI. Although Owen is the highest ranking. Miles seems not to have caught on yet in your area so it might be the safest out of my favs on your list. Nationally though I know it is going up but still only 167.

I think my faves with Heidi are Griffin, Owen, and Wyatt.
I really do love the suggestion of Nolan too, though. It's got the same general sound as Owen, but doesn't have the popularity issues. Heidi and Nolan make an adorable sibset, too :)

Obviously you should use Miles! ;) I do love Miles and Heidi together.
Owen is a bit popular, but nice with Heidi as well.
I like just Finn with Heidi too, not so much Finley.
I love Felix, and it's great with Heidi imo.
