So we have a Zack and now we are having another little boy. Which trying to pick a name with my DH is driving me insane. He literally hates everything I like and he likes very American sounding names. This is maybe because he spent part of his childhood in America.
I'll give you some examples
Jessie/Jesse- He says its sounds like a cute boys name (he must have got this from the series Breaking Bad.(You know, the druggy) Great! I can only think of the saying 'Big Jessie' or it sounding girly.
Brandon-He thinks it sounds like a good looking chap who will get loads of girls when he is older..Agh again really American sounding
Austin -American
Reece- I just don't like it
The problem is Zack is spelt the American way ( only spelling DH would agree to).
I don't know, I need some inspiration- I want them to be able to have names where people are not going to pigeon hole them to a particular class and can work whether they want to be Dustmen or Lawyers.... I like names like Cameron (DH doesn't like names that sound like surnames) and has vetoed all the following too, Flynn, (thinks it sounds like ( Flyd), Archie, Oscar, George, Noah, Xander, Theo, Albie ..But again although I like these none jump out at me really, so I'm not putting a good case forward either.
We did toy with Jared-But again I just cant see me calling out for Jared. and still a bit too American . Maybe its me who is the awkward one..
We have picked a middle name -Evan but we both don't feel for us its strong enough as a first name
Names we cant use due to family etc
Oliver
Harrison
Riley
Ethan
Liam
Jacob
Ryan
Samuel
Joseph
Thomas
Max
Rory
