Boys names meaning gift, blessing, happiness etc.

[Amiasmummy]

After months of deliberation and thinking we had 'the name' we're still undecided. Last night, OH suggested Nathan and I quite like it (nn Nate) especially as it has the meaning "gift from God". We are not religious, but I do see this little one as a gift/blessing and I'm beginning to think it would be nice to have a name which reflects that. I also like the name Asher (meaning happy) but OH not keen. Jason means healer, which would be quite fitting as my daughter was stillborn 3 1/2 years ago so finally having another baby to love is quite healing. Again, OH not overly excited about the name.

Any other names with similar meanings?

Ieuan, God has been gracious

I quite like the name Felix but my name is Cat. Not sure I could get away with it
Leuan is a name I've never come across.. Lovely meaning, but not a clue how it's pronounced?!

It's Welsh it's an I not L so you pronounce it yiyan.

Whoops! Maybe not the name for me seeing as I can neither spell it nor pronounce it Thanks for the suggestion though!

Shame it's welsh for John, I think it's lovely we live in England and never had anyone struggle with it.

It's a lovely unusual name. Sorry if I came across ignorant but I honestly had no clue how to pronounce it.

Pick Nathan, its lovely

Oh no problem I have to spell it out every time!!

I think he will probably be Nathan It's the only name me and OH have both instantly agreed on.

Jonathan means gift from God as do some other names.

Jesse - God's gift
I have a gorgeous 16 yo one

I like the name Jesse but surname ends with an 'ee' sound as well. Also know a 6 month old Jesse. I've always thought it was a cool name

I'm 'Auntie' to a Jonathan - was worried that Nathan is too similar but Jonathan is only ever known as John so I don't think it will be an issue

Our surname ends in an 'ee' sound (but not spelt that way) and no-one has ever commented on it. Never really considered it. It is def a cool name though

It's probably really not an issue, I'm one of those annoying people who tend to overthink things
