I think I’m finally narrowed down to two options for my little guy who has been impossible to name, but now I need opinions! Which of these do we prefer? (Last name is two syllables, starts with H and ends in an -ee sound)

I live right by a Meyer Park.

Probably Lowen, if I had to choose. It’s Cornish isn’t it, and while it’s generally used as a girls name, is, I think, traditionally masculine. With all that said, I’m really only picking it as the ‘least bad’ option, as to me it just seems more of a girl’s name, I’m so sorry!! Meyer is dreadful as a name imo, and with Parks it takes on the sound of some sort of corporate company. And I’m not even going to go there with Stetson, that would be honestly awful as a name, sorry.

If it’s just the sound/feel you like for the names on your list, I suppose you’ve considered Rowan? Or perhaps Ronan? Or Lachlan? If it’s the cowboy ish feel of Stetson, there’s plenty of actual names that have a western feel, Hayes, Jesse, Weston etc. You may hate all of these, but just in case!

Congratulations on your new son, I hope you’re both doing well 😊

Stetson? Like the hat.
I don’t think we have anywhere at the same taste, so I’m going to say none of those

Meyer is a Jewish name. So unless you are Jewish I would say not.

Agree with this. Unless you are in America in which case, these names would probably fit in well. Although my sense is that Stetson is a particularly… brave… choice. It’s a brand of cowboy hat. www.stetson.com It would be like calling your child Beanie or Fez.
What led you to choose the names? Is it family connections?

Keep looking. They all sound more like a law firm than a child.

I accidentally for Stetson 😂. IGNORE me. These aren’t names btw.

welshpolarbear · 06/10/2026 07:31

Are you American op?

Sorry to say, but I think you need to go back to the drawing board.

aliceofyork · 06/10/2026 07:29

Honestly, give your child a name, not a word you like the sound of.

None! Awful names.

Wishimaywishimight · 06/10/2026 07:17

Are these actually names or just words you like? I'm in Ireland and they would definitely attract some funny looks/raised eyebrows 😁

cartagenagina · 06/10/2026 07:15

Keep looking

wandawaves · 06/10/2026 07:02

None of them.
