Thinking ahead on boy names!
Hey everyone!
I am not pregnant, but my husband and I do plan to try in the next year, and I’ve always loved names/thinking about the names of my future children.
We have 2 top girl names picked out (and so many others that I love), but boy names are so dang hard and I’ve been thinking about what the heck we would name a boy if we end up having one.
For context, my husband‘s family is Irish and I was raised Catholic in the Southern US. Our last name is Brown so I’d love for the name to not be super common/indistinct. We are also big nature nerds. Love bugs, birds, you name it.
Names I’m liking right now: August, Rory, Isidore, Ambrose, Bernard
Names I like but are too common: Henry, Oliver, Theodore
Names I like but do not like the nn: Gerard, Robin
My husband likes Oliver, Benjamin, Cameron, August, Brennan, and Robin
If it helps, our girl name choices are Brigid and Nadine.
If y’all have any ideas I’d love to hear :) thank you!
