The wife and I are struggling for names and we’re running out of time. No idea what we’re having. Throw some names out there…
Here’s a list of what maybe not to consider – declined names New Zealand 2023 >>
Speaking of names not to name your child, I went to middle school with a boy named Baby. I hope they would decline that over there.
Aurangzeb Tamerlane Bubduqdari
Has a nice ring to it

You can say anything else about Mughal emperors, but their full names just roll smoothly
Alphonse Bentley McChicken.
Bro it’s like 1:30am and the pain I had to endure trying not to bellow in laughter and wake up the whole house was immeasurable
Or alternatively Alphonse Bentley McLovin
Please just make sure not to go too crazy with “unique” names or unusual spelling of a name. It causes a lot of issues and inconvenience for the offspring later in life. Saying this as someone who has a common name but spelled in an unconventional way… it’s such a headache, and a whole lot of “we can’t locate your file” because someone wasn’t listening to me when I spelled out my first name.
there are >600 Jaydens, Jaeden, Gaeden…

I like names that are uncommon enough to not be boring but not too out there. Also having a cool like origin/meaning is nice. Examples with meaning/origin and prominent figures sharing the name included:
Silas: Greek/Latin meaning Forest or “of the Forest” Silas Deane, founder of the Methodist Church
Wesley: Old English meaning west meadow Wesley Moore, current Governor of Maryland
August: Latin (Augustus) meaning magnificent Augustus Caesar, First Princeps of the Roman Empire
Audrey: Old English meaning noble strength Audrey Hepburn, American Actress
Evelyn: English and French (Aveline) meaning hazelnut Evelyn Waugh, English Novelist/Satirist
Florence: Latin meaning blossoming/flourishing. Florence Nightingale, Pioneer in the Medical Field
Audrey Hepburn, American Actress
sorry but she grew up in Velp so we claim her as dutch.
But her names spelt Audrey not Ujoodre
Her family actually called her Aafje.
Find your family tree(s) and dig one up from an ancestor.
How about “Nine Ten”?
Seriously though, my firstborn got a rather specific name which was (and is) totally fine - it just set us up for some serious brain racking when it came time to come up with another name that wasn’t comparatively boring.
I’d suggest something that:
- you can spell when you hear it
- you can pronounce when you read it
- in all the languages that you care about
That narrows things down quite a bit, I’ve found. It also makes life so much easier for the kid bearing it.
Bro just look at a name list

Okay, real suggestions.
Think about personal values that you and your wife hold dear. Something that you both know will never change, something you want to teach your child as they grow older. Something precious.
Think about a hero–real or fictional, famous or personal–who embodies those qualities. Name your kid after that person.
We’ve just been reading lists of names but this is a nice way to approach it. Thanks!
