I need to name my son.. any suggestions?

[JonM]

I heard another test for boy's names. Try it in this sentence: "Get in the truck, ____."

Some names sound boyish.. i dont want to offend anyone.. i have some friends named Caleb.. but that shounds like a boys name.. what happens when he grows to be a man?

I resent the very notion. "Wee Baby Seamus" would make a fine name for a man.

3 years to be a baby/toddler, 7 years to be a little boy, 8 years to be a tween/teen, and many many many decades to be a man.

I'm a big believer in giving a man's name to a baby boy.

EDIT: You don't see things like "Reporters were briefed on the airstrikes by Brig. Gen. Codie Johnson."

How about Err..

As in Err Male
or as in oops the condom broke and we made an Err (error)

I wanted to name my son Dwight

I'd say look into your family's past for one idea. Or maybe also your favorite TV/movie characters. We almost named our daughter Angelice, but changed it to Angela with her mother & grandmother's middle name of Marie. We have some James, Michaels & the like on my dad's side going back a few generations. So some combination of past names & character names can work if done right.One son I named after AJ Foyt, Anthony Joseph. Another James shelby (almost was James Tiberius!), Another after Sean Connery, Sean Patrick...imagination in this regard helps.

What about Hugh?

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

off topic, talking about making surnames work.

The previous company I worked for hired a travel agency to handle our travel arrangements. Our account manager was named Harry Manlove.
There were snickers all over the conference room when he introduced himself, via conference call.

Since your surname is Male you could troll the entire world and name him Alpha.

I was really hoping this had been posted. Seconded!

Yeah, but your food bill would be through the roof getting that kid up over 400lbs and in fighting shape....

Caleb is a biblical name. I think it only sounds boyish because it was an unpopular name for decades. I think to people who grow up with Calebs around them will not have that perspective.

 

[Roadie]

Please, not pronounced Eye-an...

Pronounced "E-an". As in Ian Fleming.

 

[Kampenken]

Caleb sounds Amish.

Is changing your last name out of the question??!

Or, keep it simple. Joe.

 

[grrickar]

Ethan or something starting with E, so he can abbreviate E. Male

Austin

Sean

Stout (since Porter didn't fly)

Derek

Looks like the front runner now is Evan Charles Male.. Charles being her grandpas name..my current son Dylan Belmont ... Belmont after my grandpa who I was very fond of

 

[JonM]

Initials ECM...sounds like a spaceship part. Maybe that'll have some bearing on his life! Earth control to Major Tom...

Caleb is a name derived from the Hebrew word for "dog." It's meant to indicate faithfulness & fidelity to God; in much the same way that a dog is faithful to it's human master; but seriously, who wants a name derived from the word "dog?"

My wife and I considered Brewer for our last son. He ended up with the name Adam Darwin (his brothers are Jacob Edison and Beckett Magellan).
