Opinions on top two names for Baby Boy!

[Klayne]

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)

Where are you from and where are you living?
I don't recognise any of the names so it's difficult to really comment fairly.
Are they recognisable names in your culture or where you live? If so go with the one that feels right for you.

You're on a UK-based site.....none of those are actual names here, and Stetson would just get laughed at. You need to ask for American feedback.

None they sound like street names or an accountancy firm.

This ☝🏻

These names are hysterical! I’m howling with laughter here! 😂😂

And this ☝🏻

🤣

Can’t see names

But you're naming a human? Not a university, or a fruit.

Anyway, each to their own I guess.

Not Stetson. Don't do that to him.

OP you're getting a rough ride due to cultural differences but I can see all of those names working in the States, maybe Stetson is the most out there but fits with Easton/Grayson/Hudson vibes.

Of the three, Lowen would work best in the UK if you were wondering 😂 but I guess that's extremely irrelevant. It's my favourite too. Congrats on your baby!

Lowen is OK, nothing wrong with that.

Stetson, no, are you serious??

Lowen is a Cornish name. Much nicer than Meyer or Stetson

Went for Lowen, as that’s the one I liked the sound of best

Lowen Parks.
And may he play long; and be a happy child.

Of course it would it’s a Cornish name

Meyer, though actually when saying it, sounds like Maya (girls name).

funny that you’d post on a uk forum for advice on an American kid’s name! You have some truly bonkers names out there (as do we, I suppose!) 🤣

congrats on the little guy 💙

None of these are good (or even names) but Stetson is especially bad. Please don’t name a kid that, especially (I assume) a British kid.

What wring with John, David, Michael, Robert etc???

anything followed by Parks is going to make him sound like a destination

I actually like Lowen! Not keen on the others though - mainly because they don’t sound nice to my ear for some reason, a bit harsh sounding somehow. I do have a DC with a slightly American type name though and as I’ve got older I’ve loved hearing new and different names so I’m not as much of a name traditionalist as many on MN.

They did all sound like parks. Stetson Park especially sounded like the cowboy area of a theme park!

I think with surname style names you have to be careful of this effect with a surname like yours OP.

The cattle are lowin' ...

Meyer and Stetson are just not for me. But I see you are American and there’s different styles and preferences there. I do like Lowen so that’s my choice of your three. I know a little boy called Loxen which you might also like as an alternative.

They don’t sound like names. They sound like holiday camps.
