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)

Meyer is the best of the three.

I'm in the US and know a couple of Meyers, aged between ten and sixteen.

Stetson is a name that might burden a child.
Lowen is just a sound similar to other names.

Would you consider -
Lowell
Maxwell
Fintan (Irish name)
Davis
Tiernan
Griffin

Really? You defo need a hobby then.

That's exactly what I thought, and I know its not Christmas yet 🤣

Meyer is 100% Jewish. Meyer Rothschild for example. Not for me unless you are Jewish of course. The other name is just odd. I get Parks as a family name but I’d go Rowan.

@MeetMeOnTheCorner ,Meyer is 100% Jewish. It's German.

Is Meyer pronounced like layer or fire? Because that's like the girl's name Maya.

Also you could see it as disrespectful to the Jewish community, though not as much so as Cohen.( For non Jewish people to use it.)

Lowen is nice

My-er in German, Mey-ir in Hebrew. OP is in USA.

You're a good sport, OP, for coming back and confirming your American bonafides in good humour.
I like Lowen a lot, I also love Lowell as suggested by a PP.

Congrats on the baby.

Seriously?!

Eh?

I think this is a classic example of “two nations separated by a common language.”

I completely understand you wanting to use Parks if it’s a family surname but saying it goes “all the way back to 1916” will also get short shrift in the uk where people trace their names back centuries before your country was invented.

Sorry you feel attacked, but those names would definitely raise a laugh in the UK.

Congrats on your new baby though.

Have you considered Marxens? It's very popular here in the Home Counties.

I like Lowen!

(really don't like Stetson though).

You're meeting with disapproval from people who name their sons Percy, so I wouldn't let it bother you too much. Congratulations on your new arrival 👶

Marxence is popular for girls.
