Baby Boy Names

Seems like a lot of Griffins are becoming adults now after a bunch of Wizard Boy fans had kids twenty years ago. At least the Wachowski sisters are way cooler creatives to reference for inspiration with your kid. You two have a while before the baby arrives so you'll probably go through a bunch of names before you land on something that speaks to you and your partner.

... the summer with our 4th baby and are having trouble choosing.... If this one is a boy he will be Simon Guthrie ... girl name. Our top girl names are: Evangeline Bianca Bonnie Also ... be great! We like meaningful names but have used up all ...the family names we like so now we ...

Hey yall I’m on my first baby and we recently found out it’s a boy. I know I have plenty of time for names but every name we think of doesn’t feel like it fits? lol idk I love the name Aro maybe mess with the spelling a little and family has offered many options we didn’t like lol. Any ideas for boy names? Doesn’t matter how unique or traditional anything would help us out!

Baby boy will be here in a few weeks - we’re down to 3 names. Tell us your favorite! Luke Anthony Matthew Lucas Noah Alexander Siblings are: Max Samuel (short for Maximiliano) and Ava Loren Appreciate any input!!

... baby #2, he said they claim ___ girl name and _____ boy... they weren't names that we were in love with anyway, but the boy name... and pregnant someday with a boy, the dad will also have ...

Dean is what my husband wants to name our baby (if it’s a boy we are team green) I love the name but don’t feel it goes with our other kids names so I’m not sure if we will use it. But love it.

Currently expecting a baby boy! For context all of our children have names that either end in a Y or E and would like to keep this if we can but it’s not a non negotiable! We don’t mind unusual names, vintage names, southern name etc.. just nothing too crazy that they can’t be an adult with the name lol! Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!

Hi fellow mammas . 15w +4d here pregnant with rainbow baby and my 4th healthy pregnancy. I been thinking lately on nice boy names but honestly absolutely stuck . 😂 have 2 boys already Oliver and Charlie just want something nice to go with them 2 names as I got feeling this one will be another boy 🫣(mother instincts )

... with possibly having another boy? happy if this baby a girl? if you're... first was a girl. second boy and my third was a ... easier room wise if last baby was a boy. then I'd have 2 of... and only 1 boy. also I have way more girl names than boy names. I love being...

I’m considering the name Dean for my baby boy. The problem is that I have always wanted my kids to have Italian names, however I don’t seem to like any Italian boy names only girl names lol. I know this is thinking very far ahead but do you think the name Dean being my son’s name might clash with if I have a girl in the future, her name being something like Luciana or Adalina?

I really like Thomas. We're going to use Thomas as our son's middle name. 😊

I 32f am currently pregnant and my mom passed away almost 3 years ago and my fiancé and I came up with a name that honors my biological mother who’s gone and his mother. I was excited and told my sister and she proceeded to tell me I can’t use our dead mother’s name for my baby because her daughter my niece who’s 17 wants that name for her future daughter. Mind you she’s not pregnant. I made a post announcing the boys name and the girls name and my sister and niece decided to not only bash me but also tell blatant lies and message one of my friends. The back story is my biological mother didn’t raise me or any of her kids (she had a lot of mental issues and did what was best for everyone). We reconnected when I was 14 and our relationship was sometimes rocky again because of her mental state, but I loved my mother. She however did raise my nieces when they were little. That’s its own story. My sister and niece made my baby names announcement more of a dick waving contest of who my mother loved the most and who loved my mother the most which broke my heart I had to remove the comments. I am high risk with this pregnancy which they know and I can’t handle the stress. Would I be the asshole for using the name anyway or would that make me childish? submitted by /u/Scary-Assignment-158 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I (35F) had my first daughter in September. While I was pregnant my sister (38F) was also pregnant with a boy. In reality she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, but thought it would be fun if it was a surprise for everyone. During that time I told her that I planned to name this baby after our mom, Colette, and my husband's mother, Coral, both names start with "Co" and I think "Coco" is an adorable nickname. She told me the name they picked was a surprise and they didn't want to reveal it until the baby was here. Lo and behold her twins are born in August, everyone is super surprised that its twins. She names them Cole and Lettie. I didn't think much of it except that it was really cute and sweet that she clearly named them after our mom. When my daughter was born, I followed through and named her Colette Coral, we almost exclusively call her Coco. My sister is very annoyed that I followed through with the name and brings it up all the time how ridiculous it is that three of them practically share a name. Its also confusing if full names are used, I will admit that. Despite me telling her my entire pregnancy this was the name I planned to use. I even had stuff made with the name! She ensures everyone knows her babies we're born first. Honestly, If she had told me months ago that she planned to use Cole and Lettie, I probably would've pivoted, but she never said anything. Heck, even if she told me she was using Cole I would've re-evaluated. Currently debating legally swapping Coral and Colette simply to keep the peace, but that feels an awful lot like admitting I'm the asshole in the first place. So Am I the Asshole? submitted by /u/Sufficient-View2574 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I like regular names but nothing too basic. Also like names that could have adorable nicknames! submitted by /u/Rare_Count5245 to r/NameMyDog [link] [comments]

Just found out today we're having a boy and I haven't looked into boy names too much yet. I really like Nolan and Rowan so far. Any suggestions welcome! Edit: I love looking through all these names!! Thank you everyone for your suggestions ❤️❤️ submitted by /u/zydrate50 to r/namenerds [link] [comments]

Idk I get bored and randomly make baby name lists, (I am no where near having kids, so if these suck, I will evolve no need to worry,) girls; - Vienna Rose (Wien) - Winifred Grace (Winnie) - Clementine Grace (Clem) - Juliette Diana (Jules) - Melrose Fauna (Mel) - Dahlia Vonette (Lia) - Betty - Mae - Abigail Jade - Louella Fern (Ella) - Dawn - Willow - Indigo - Rue Meadow - Florence Ivory (Poppy) Boys; - Roman Genesis (Rome) - Eden Lucas Iliya (Elio) - Rueben Kanish (Rue) - Bowen Lilies (Bowie) - Harlen Sage - Paul Bazyli (Baz) - Sebastian Julian (Jules) - Andrew David (Andy) - Linden Forrest - Silas River - Ellsworth Lessom (Ellis) "Lilies," was actually my grandpas name so it is masc for my family before anyone comes for me, Ellsworth and Lessom are both family names submitted by /u/SignificantRun8115 to r/namenerds [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/That_Yesterday_3561 Originally posted to r/tragedeigh My cousin just named her (boy-girl) twins Raedenn and Waeverlee Thanks to u/queenlegolas for suggesting this BoRU ---- Original Post: January 27, 2026 Raedenn Wave and Waeverlee Rae. She has a 9 year old named Queston Tayte. Somehow her 7 year old daughter, Nayvie Claire's name is odd but within the realm of normal. Since the birth, 12 hours ago, my family has lodged a list of critiques and are wondering whether this qualifies as a tragedeigh. We have obviously been supportive and respectful to her and her family. 1.) She swapped the first parts of each twin's first name as the other one's middle. Is this a normal tradition? 2.) THE SPELLINGS. 3.) She has gramatical commitment issues. Waeverlee and Raedenn are spelled with an ae but Nayvie is spelled with ay. Waeverlee ends is ee, but Nayvie ends in ie. And Raedenn ends in enn, but Queston ends in on. EDIT: Thank you to everyone saying my cousin wins tragedeigh of the year. This is is a title our family cherishes without her knowlege. Relevant Comments OOP on her aunt trying to convince her cousin to change names OOP: My aunt has been trying lol. Might be making headway with the reversed middle names. My cousin seems a little doubtful now... Commenter 1: I swear people think adding lots of extra letters to their kids’ names makes them look rich. Like the letters cost actual money. OOP: I agree. I think it's tacky Commenter 2: I’ve never heard of Queston as a name but at least it’s spelled logically I guess? But it also sounds too much like question. I have no clue what the useless y is about in both Tayte and Nayvie, those easily could have been Tate and Navy. I’m surprised she went with Wave instead of Wayve. She really couldn’t have gone with Waverly or Waverley instead of Waeverlee? I don’t know where to start with Raedenn. Never heard of it as a name but there’s simply got to be a better spelling, right? As a chemist, it just reminds me of the element radon. I think these are the most tragedeigh names I’ve seen in a while, so props to your cousin for that I guess. OOP: She and her husband were just too torn between Quentin and Weston. apparently. I think rock-paper-scissors would've been the logical best bet but they just combined it. (>_

I could be wrong, but I feel like the discussion on this sub skews slightly towards girl names... so this is just a check-in on where we are at with boy names? What are your current favorites? submitted by /u/fredyouareaturtle to r/namenerds [link] [comments]

Idk our baby’s gender yet, but holy smokes it is SO hard to find a boy name that we 1. Agree on 2. That isn’t super common 3. That isn’t too unique/out there. Girl names are sooo much easier - night & day easier. How are y’all finding your boy names and is there a secret list somewhere that has the good names that aren’t overly used? I’ve looked at hundreds of boy names, none of them are “it” submitted by /u/Wild_Salary_1884 to r/BabyNames [link] [comments]

We’re trying to find a name for our baby boy that will be here in November and we’re really stuck on names, nothing feels quite right. He will probably have a big personality like our daughter has (and me and my husband), so we don’t want something too plain, but we also don’t want something too out there either submitted by /u/OpticalDellusion_ to r/namenerds [link] [comments]

and her name is a tragedeigh 😭 (I’m a chappel fan don’t hate me for saying she’s a tragedeigh) submitted by /u/Dead_Squ1rrel to r/tragedeigh [link] [comments]

Baby boy due in the next few months and struggling with names. We like vintage names that are not common anymore. See below for our current options but have issues with each. Or do you have any other options? Lewyn - our number one pick as of now… this derives from the welsh name Llewelyn. We are apprehensive due to it being kind of “made up” and we are also not welsh… Silas - really love this name but feel like it’d becoming too popular. Hewitt - could we even use this as a first name? lol Lowen - i like this but don’t like that there aren’t any good male nicknames that can come from this. submitted by /u/Weary_Tumbleweed_466 to r/Names [link] [comments]

my friend (28F) is about eight months pregnant with a baby boy and she’s looking at names. she wanted something slightly different but still timeless, cute for a baby but still good for an adult. we were really struggling until I suggested Timothy the other day. we’d been staying away from three syllable names to keep in line with her other children (Avis and Josie). i think Timothy would suit really nicely with those names, and she agreed. fast forward three days, i receive this text from her pretty much out of the blue. im not one to judge but im sure this counts as a tragedeigh. do i tell her the name sucks or just keep my mouth shut about it? submitted by /u/princess_peach5 to r/tragedeigh [link] [comments]

My fiancee says it sounds like a dogs name and I need to quit being stupid. My brother says it sounds like "gooner". I just want a unique name. Please tell me your honest thoughts. No I'm not white but the baby is going to be half white. I thought Gunner sounded like a nice white name. Middle name is going to be Alexander or lee. SOME MORE CONTEXT SO I CAN QUIT COPY PASTING IT IN MY REPLIES: I chose Gunner....or was going to...because my fiancee is white. My whole family including myself has very "Mexican" sounding names. And I grew up in a very white area. I got made fun of for my name alot. So did my brothers Enrique and Alberto. Some older kid once told them they sounded like off brand gay ninja turtles and i remember it made my younger brother cry. We always wanted white names. Now I love my name, but I really wanted to give my child a WHITE name. A cool WHITE name so they aren't made fun of either. Even though I know people are more we sensitive to ethnicity and stuff now, kids can still be cruel. Before these comments, I thought Gunner was a nice white name. And a cool sounding one. The comments have changed my mind. I also thought canyon was a classic "cool persons" white name too. But now I'm rethinking my idea of what constitutes as "cool" in white culture. Thank you for all your responses btw. Even the harsh ones. I know you all just don't want another embarrassing baby name out in the world. More context: For the people saying I suffer from self hatred. I do not. I am very proud of my heritage. However I have come to the realization after posting this that my childhood experiences have affected me more than I thought. But for people telling me to seek therapy and dont have anymore kids, that's just mean please stop. Update: I REALLY appreciate everyone's comments and those who are leaving suggestions. I've been flip flopping back and fourth because while most people are against the name and make some WONDERFUL points, the few people who like it, and the few Gunners who have commented, also make good points and seem like wonderful people. I also showed my fiancee this post which has REALLY taken off and he's been laughing has ass off for an hour -_- Y'all have really helped to give him a confidence boost he never needed lmao submitted by /u/MysticalNinjette to r/tragedeigh [link] [comments]

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is thisisreallyjofrank. She posted in r/Advice Do NOT Comment on Original Posts. Latest update is 7 days old. Trigger Warning: discussions of the background of Lolita- grooming; child predators; Epstein, etc Mood Spoiler: frustrating Original Post: June 18, 2025 My sister (37f) is not the most well read person. She gave birth to a baby girl yesterday (she's got two boys already and has wanted a girl for a long time). She has just told me that they are naming her Lolita. I just... I don't know how to process this or how to tell her this is not a good, or cute, or edgy name. We don't have the closest relationship, and I'm her older sister and childless by choice. She often thinks I'm boring or a stick in the mud. I worry that anything I say will just be eye-rolled at, or make her stick to the name harder. Some of OOP's Comments: Does sister know about the name and its connotations? I don't know. But I am making the sweeping assumption that she hasn't read it (or watched the movie) but knows of Lolita fashion/style. I genuinely don't even know how to bring it up or if I should just leave her to it. Commenter: Don't tell her why - just ask her nicely to Google the name, then decide for herself. OOP: The problem is that she's very very proud, and always thinks everyone is judging her, even if they're literally just trying to help her. So even if presented with evidence, she'll either refuse to read it or say that she doesn't care. I've tried to be as kind but clear as I can without sounding judgmental, or like I think she's not smart. Commenter: Lolita is not a name. The name is Maria de los Dolores. Tell your sister the whole hispanic world os going to laugh at her. OOP: She named her other kid Tao, pronounced Theo, so I think she doesn't care who laughs at her at this point... Update 1 (Same Post): Several hours later Edit to add update: I've written her a message outlining my concerns: "Hey love. I am so happy and excited for you and the new little one. And I want you to know that I love and support you and that I'll always be there for you. This message isn't meant to shame or hurt you, but I want you to be making as informed a decision as possible. I wasn't aware of all of the history of Lolita myself, so I looked it up and asked some advice of others better read than me. I wanted to share some thoughts on the name, not to tell you what to do, but just to make sure you have all the information. While it's a beautiful-sounding name, "Lolita" carries some really strong and often unpleasant connotations. As I'm sure you're already aware, it's the title and the name of the 12-year-old girl in Nabokov's book, and films. The book is about her sexual assault by an older man, and because of this, the name has become synonymous with the sexualization and exploitation of underage girls. In the book she is painted as a 12 year old seductress, (even though, of course at 12 she cannot consent) and we're encouraged to sympathise with with pedophile. Beyond the book, the term "Lolita" is, of course, now a category of "barely legal" pornography. And more recently, Jeffrey Epstein named his private plane "The Lolita Express," (as if the name needed any further connection to child sex trafficking) I know how much thought you're putting into this, and ultimately, I will love and support you and your baby no matter what name you choose. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of these associations, as they're pretty ingrained in pop culture and beyond. Let me know if you want to talk about it, and if this is your final decision then I will say no more and will support your decision." Folks have reminded me that she'll be hormonal, exhausted and emotional at this point, so I'm not going to send it to her till she's settled back home from hospital, I don't want to overwhelm her with a wall of text, but I think text is the best option so she can read back through it if she needs. I genuinely love and care for her and if this is a thought through decision then I will support her in it. I just really want to make sure that she has all the info that she can. She is both hot headed and strong willed, so I'm afraid that if I push she'll stick to her choice thorough stubbornness rather than a real love for the name, so any advice on the wording is appreciated. Update 2 (Same Post): June 19, 2025 (Next Day) Final update: I sent her that message and got back gifs that say 'no one asked your opinion' and 'I am searching for fucks to give' and was told that she 'doesn't give two shineys' what I think. So, I guess little Lolita is on her own. Some of OOP's Comments: Commenter: Why is your sister such a stoop and you seem normal? Did you grow up together? How do you get to be a whole 37 years and think Lolita is a good idea I don’t get it? You sure she isn’t just fking with you? lol I keep trying to picture a 6 year old named Lolita showing up for 1st grade, her teachers are going to cringe. Send your sis this thread lol OOP: I was so tempted to send her this thread in anger, but, strike while the iron is cold and all that. We had a tough childhood, "interesting" parents. I've done like 10 years of therapy at this point and she is still in the 'you don't need therapy, just go for a run" mindset. :/ Commenter: (downvoted at the time of this post) The fact that you told her all that and she doesn’t care? That’s disgusting. That poor child. She clearly shouldn’t have had kids with that attitude because how can anyone read that and still want to name their child that. It’s disturbing. I would legit not trust her and even stop talking to her. This is kind of a big deal I’m sorry that may seem extreme. But how can she be so flippant on something so serious?! I’m disgusted fr OOP: I'm taking a break from her for a bit, for both of our sanity, but I want to make sure that I'm there for the kids if they ever need an aunty. submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

My sister and I are both pregnant. This is her second child and my first. We're both having boys. When my sister had her daughter three years ago her BFF was pregnant at the same time. My sister complained for 8 months that they didn't have any idea what to name my niece and then all of a sudden she had a name right before she gave birth. After my niece was born and her name was announced, my sister and her BFF started fighting. The BFF said that was the name she'd chosen for her baby girl and my sister used the same first and middle name for my niece and she couldn't believe she'd do that. My sister said it's first come first serve and she needed a name badly. That her BFF had time to find another name. My sister is due before me, a few weeks before, and with that in mind I don't want her to do the same thing to me. And she has asked. Nobody knows we're having a boy except me and my husband and we plan to keep it that way. But my sister has asked what our boy name is and as an afterthought she asked for our girl name too when she realized I knew what she was getting at. I refused to tell her. She tried to whine about name sharing being the fun part of pregnancy. I made up a couple of names on the spot to tell her and she saw through it. She told me to just tell her the name and I said no again. She asked a few more times, she even asked in front of our family. It was our brother who joked that nobody should tell the baby name thief the name they've chosen. My sister got upset and asked if that's why I wouldn't tell her. She told me I was holding something against her that she never did to me. Mom asked why I couldn't just share the name and everyone would know my husband and I chose it first if my sister used it but I still said no. AITA? submitted by /u/Possible-Animal9339 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

So here is the dilemma - me (28f) and my boyfriend (30m) have been dating for 3 years, but we are not married. Moreover, he proclaims that he doesn't believe in formal marriage and says it's a scam for men. Recently we've had an "oops" and I got pregnant, and while it wasn't planned, we talked about children before and both wanted to be parents eventually. However, he wants to give the baby his last name, and I think that no ring => baby gets my last name. Now he is saying that I am holding the baby's name hostage and pressuring him into marriage, and that I am an AH. So, Reddit, am I? EDIT: Many people are proposing hyphenating as a solution, but both our names are long and pretty difficult to spell as is, a hyphenated last name will make the kid sound like some royalty, lol. EDIT2: Overwhelming majority of the responses here seem to be favoring giving the baby my last name. Thanks, guys, I'll stand my ground then. UPD: Ok, thanks everyone for advice, reached a compromise, the baby will have my last name as a last name, his last name as a middle name, and one of the names traditionally passed down in his family depending on whether it's a boy or a girl. submitted by /u/throwthrow_530 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Happy 1️⃣8️⃣th Birthday to my sweet baby boy: Dwight Howard Schrute Around 12 years ago, I lost my first cat (Gaylord, RIP) and a few weeks after he crossed the rainbow bridge, I felt sad and decided to go to my local rescue to hang out with some kitties and cuddle with them to feel better. Little did I know that my soul animal was there waiting for me. I was wandering around the cat area of the shelter, holding an orange kitty who I honestly considered taking home with me. But then I decided to ask the shelter volunteer “What cats have been here the longest?” And she told me “Oh, this guy, his name is Micky. He’s 6.” And pointed to (who would become) Dwight. Dwight was in his cage, with his four paws stuffed into a shoebox, his body / fur spilling over the sides, and his head pulled into his shoulders. He was staring at me, absolutely terrified, with two big eyes looking at me like ⚫️🔺⚫️ I immediately fell in love and adopted him. So here we are, 12 years later. We’ve been through my final year of high school together, all of college, sneaking into my dorm room, at least 7 apartments, several heartbreaks, periods of deep depressions, periods of absolute bliss and joy, career changes, a world pandemic, getting my first dog… you get the idea. And every single one of those years, every single night, he’s been by my side, curled up in my arms as my little spoon, snoring and drooling on my arm. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. :) So happy birthday to my little old man, my furry king, my sweet baby angel. Here’s to 18 years bubba. r/DwightTheSadCat submitted by /u/princessohio to r/standardissuecat [link] [comments]
