Give me some N names...

[4_Legs_Good]

I'm gonna have a baby to name in the next couple weeks, and we still haven't decided on a freaking name.

Right now the frontrunner is Matthew and the middle name is definitely Carter (after a certain Nobelauriate we all know).

His brother is Nathan, which we're very happy with. Another N name would be fun, but it's not necessary.

We were thinking Nicholas, but one of the backstreet boys or something is named Nick Carter, though by the time the kid grows up that probably won't matter, plus who really cares about a middle name.

Thoughts?

This will (almost certainly) be our last...

1. nelson n/t

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. Call him Matthew.

That way, you'll never be the creepy couple on the block whose children's names all start with the same letter.

[4_Legs_Good]

18. Now that's a good point...

but with only 2 kids, it shouldn't be THAT freaky...

Matthew is good, but apparently it's the #4 most popular name right now that's a bit too popular for us, though it's still a frontrunner.

3. Nicholas, Noah...

Nigel :P

[Jessica]

8. I like Noah ...

It's cute.

[4_Legs_Good]

27. I VETOed Noah, not sure why

but it's out.

5. Norman? Nimrod? Nabob? Nebuchadnezzar?

Lotsa good 'N' names.

I know I'm not being helpful.

[purr]

6. I'm thinking of naming my soon to be son

Nicolai.. Nico for short.. I'm not due until late August so I still have some time.

Last one for me too!!

[4_Legs_Good]

11. My wife liked that one

Nickolai. I vetoed it.

Not sure why, but you know, you just get these feelings about names. We both have VETO power. She's shot down a bunch of mine too...

Nathan really clicked for us one day, but nothing has for #2. Of course we have about 10,000 good girl names, if only the ultrasound was wrong.

32. My son from adopted from Russia

is a Nickolay. I like the Nikolai spelling better but this way if he wants he can go by Nick.

10. Some people on DU would like to name their kid Napoleon...

;)

[ET Awful]

17. LOL . . Narcissus? That's all he needs is a kid named Narcissus

:)

[democrank]

9. Good luck with your baby`s name.

Two of my favorites....Jacob and Ian.

[fluffernutter]

12. Nash, Nevan, Nicholai, Noah, Nolan.

[ET Awful]

13. Ned

Niegel

Seriously though, you could go with a foreign version of Nicholas, such as Nicolai.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. Nigel is a cool name

[demnan]

15. How exciting for you!

I'm sure you'll figure it out when he is born, and I don't really have any suggestions, I just wanted to congratulate you.

[4_Legs_Good]

34. Thanks :)

Nervewracking is more like it!

No, I'm excited, but the first 2 weeks are soooo hard. I expect they'll be 20x as hard with a 2 year old running around too.

[Spider Jerusalem]

16. Neal, Ned, Norton, Nehemiah, Napoleon, Nicodemus, Norris, Nolan, Nikolai..

and that's all I can think of (not that many names that start with "N", really, at least for males)...

[MissMillie]

19. NEWMAN!!!! (n/t)

.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Nathan, Nathaniel...but my two cents is Iove the name Benjamin!

:hi: It ends with an N. If he's the last, his name will end with an end...while your first's starts with an "n". :hi:

[4_Legs_Good]

26. You know that woulda been my first choice, but his cousin

is named Benjamin, and I have a strict "no duplicates" policy. No names that appear in either of our families are allowed.

[MrScorpio]

21. Noble, Norris, Neil,

My 2 cents

[caledesi]

22. N Names:

Nigel (from the name Nathaniel)
Nash
Nevan
Neville
Neil
Neal
Newman
Niles
Noah
Noel

[On the Road]

23. You Should Reconsider "Nick"

that's actually a good boy's name that wears well into adulthood. Nobody will make the connection with the BSB.

[Mutley]

24. here are a few from a baby name dictionary i have

Napoleon
Napthali
Naricissus
Nat
Nayland
Neal
Nehemiah
Nelson
Neptune

Nevin
Niall
Nicodemus
Nicol
Niel
Nigel
Nimrod (:rofl: yes this one is actually in there!)
Ninian
Nipton
Noah
Noble
Noel
Nolan
Norbert
Norman
Norton
Norval
Nye

And that's it in this book... doesn't seem to be a lot of good ones.. my nephew's name is Noah... i like that one... I have a freind named Nelson... I kind of like Nevin for some reason.

[MissMarple]

25. James.

You could call him Jimmy Carter. :-)

[4_Legs_Good]

28. :)

James is a brother of mine, so it's out (my "no duplications" rule).

:)

[Zan_of_Texas]

29. Nicholas is a great name.

As is Nick.

After all, who brings presents in the dead of winter?


PS My gf's teddy bear was named Nicholas, and he was a fine fellow indeed.

[Beaverhausen]

30. I like Carter for a first name

should you decide to forego the "N" idea.

Best wishes to you and your family. Please don't forget to post pics of the new addition! :loveya:

[4_Legs_Good]

31. Yeah, I thought of that too...

but the wife vetoed that idea.

I certainly will post pics once I regain conciousness after the delivery. The last one was harder on me (emotionally at least) than it was on my wife. Within hours she was thinking about what she would do differently with the next one, and all I could say was

"The NEXT ONE?????"

36. Neil!

Of course, then he might be confused with the late Nell Carter. ;)
