I also like a name which evokes some other thing ...
Two real people whose names come to mind are:
Thomas Stackhouse Acton
Thomas Langhorne Phipps (who goes by "Lang Phipps")
Kräusen Stackhouse Male
"Stackhouse" and "Langhorne" are both dandy names.
To those I might add "Lautertun".
Thor Lautertun Male
... really rolls off the tongue well.
Ahhhhh

Anything but a name that involves "aiden" (IE Jayden, Aiden, Hayden, hell Rayden, etc) People went on a kick with that for awhile and now I now a bunch of kids that all sound alike. My apologies to anyone on here with children of similar names. I put my foot in my mouth when I said that to one of my best friend's wives right before she told me they were going to name their son Aiden....
On a side note, my son's name is Jax. My wife's grandmother told her years ago she liked that name and if she had a son, that should be his name. Ironically my name is Clay. And I ride motorcycles...So people assume we did so because of SOA...

I'd have no choice but to go with alpha if my last name were male. Simple as that. On to a truly unbelievable last name that was real. And mods, I'm not cursing here this was the guys last name. When I was in basic training, we were standing in the chow line while the drill sergeants made fun of peoples last names. One guy started laughing loudly for which he got yelled at. Then he said "drill sergeant, this guys last name is f*ck" but with a U instead of the asterisk . Chaos ensued. It was hilarious. Then there was a guy in my unit whose last name was Phylth.

Austin Male sounds good.
As far as "Evan Male" ... I would be hesitant to use that name.
Even though I do understand the name is pronounced with a short "E", I suspect some will pronounce it long and he'll have to re-correct them ... and that further, I think he might be in the same circumstance as a guy I once knew. Obviously this is merely a suspicion, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
Years ago I had a friend who had a first and last name that when said together, induced people to ask him to repeat himself ... constantly.
It was just a reaction people had to make sure they heard him correctly. Not that it was such an odd first name, but spoken together, first and last name, he would either get asked to repeat it ... or people would repeat his name in the form of a question and ask him to confirm it. I also recall him mentioning that he also did not like the teasing he got when he was a kid.
We hung out in our late teens through mid 20's and I must say, I do recall that it seemed every single time he identified himself he would be asked to repeat himself. He thought it a constant interruption to the flow of conversation with new acquaintances - particularly around girls or at parties or events etc.
Eventually he became so irritated over it that around the age of around 23 permanently started going by his middle name.
Anyhow ... Hope my comment was not too forward. Just wanted to relate that as food-for-thought.

You will know as soon as you lay eyes on him for the fist time. Some how, babies seem to fit the name they are given. Or seem to project their name upon themselves, somehow.
Prayers for an easy birth and healthy baby and mother. Congratulations!

Ha, that's how my brother saw it for his 2nd child, said he had to "look him in the eye first". Literally took a month of looking to settle on Trevor! 18yrs later still a good choice, and a month of "baby boy" didn't stick with him!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has considered this. It's getting kind of old just going through the alphabet and adding -aiden. Aiden, Bayden, Cayden, Daiden, Eaden...
I'm just glad the trend is waning before we get to S or Z. Last thing I need is my third grader sitting next to Saiden in class. I can only imagine...
"You went to the principal's office, AGAIN?!"
"But dad, Saiden made me do it!"
Yeah, not looking forward to that conversation.
Oh no, I'm quite sure every single letter of the alphabet can be, and has been, used in front of -aden . This includes Xayden and Zhayden.
I used to think that G and M would be the exceptions because Gayden and Maiden wouldn't work but, sure enough, there are Greydens and MacKaydens. Maybe Y is the only doesn't work. Maybe U too.

What about the alternate spellings of normal names? Generally speaking it appears to be a cultural thing, but one of the boobie prizes (sadly, no boobs involved unless you are referring to how they make you feel) where I work is a certificate of "you came to work" that is given out every now and again. They misspelled Aaron and spelled Aarown. Had someone come up and ask. "Cool, is that a new spelling of Aaron? Nice!" Really? why spell things alternately just for the sake of it?
If there's a reason for an alternate spelling (like say, you name the kid Jon without an H because that was how it was spelled by the first member of the family to step off the boat from the old country), cool. It can be a pain sometimes, but there's a reason at least.
If it's just for yuks, then the kid has a lifetime of correcting everyone's spelling, getting things screwed up in every bureaucratic organization you will ever contact, never finding that souvenir mug, keychain,etc. with your name on it, and so forth. All for no reason other than to be different.

How about the name "Anakin" ... after Anakin Skywalker.
Wait ... Ahhh ... oh snap, that's Hayden Christensen.
Nevermind.

I'd suggest you name him "C'Mereyou Little****" but I am not sure there is enough room on the certificate.
For some reason, I like the Scandanavian names.
Like Torstein or Jormo or Thorbjorn.
I think those would be great in my part of the deep south!!

Many medication names make good, modern child names.
" ... I'd like to introduce my daughters, Levitra and Viagra ..."
Levitra Johnson ... yeah. Has a nice ring to it.

It would seem the medication names need to be 3 syllables or less.
Dilantin
Ativan
Paxil
Risperdal
Pristiq
Allegra
Lipitor
Keflex
Lanoxin
Not a med, but here's one for the "what were they thinking?" column for baby names.
Placenta
Placenta Johnson
Dilantin
Ativan

Lady who cut my hair was named Heavenly... I didn't even know that was a name ..i thought it was an adjective
I like using names that have a family meaning first son name after my grandfather and the now ex's grandfather N.A.R. second son name after great grandfather and myself S.A.R. funny how initials worked out.
