Don't forget to consider initials when picking a name! Like Rock Anderson Taylor spells RAT or Timothy Ives Thompson - well, you get the picture! I honestly think that's way more important than the syllables.

My cousin named her boy Cohen and his nickname is Coco, it fits him so well and it’s such a cute and different nickname

I have a 6 month old named Cillian. That took a little for me to convince my husband of. Some other names we really liked were Merlin, Rowan, Victor and Lawrence, but I talked him into agreeing on Ciaran for our next boy

holden is my sons name! i love when i hear others say they love it too! xx

Adding some more: Arie, Basil, Cedar, Smith, Payson, Winston, Watson, Arlyn, Ireson. Husband doesn’t like any of them. 😂 Actually, he did like Winston for awhile but recently decided he doesn’t now. Perfect! 😂👍🤦🏻‍♀️ LOVE your videos!!

I totally get what you mean about your list from the first time. First time around we had picked out Wren for a girl and Wilder for a boy. We had a girl. This time I didn't like Wilder, so our boy names were Oren or Reid. We had a girl again, so now we have a Wren and a Fern. Maybe I'll get to use a boy name on #3. I was leaning towards Reid because Oren is starting to come up on a lot of lists, there's even an Oren at my 2 yo swim class, plus it makes me think of Orrin Hatch.

I am Irish and the traditional spelling is Odhran or anglicised version is Oran. What about Oisin pronounced osh eene or Aran, the name of an Irish island.

Did the syllable thing with our first on accident then did it again for our second 😍 Carter William and Harrison Alden, last name is a single syllable Does help the full name flow better

just in case you're not a potterhead, nox is the spell wizards use to turn off their wand lights hahaha

Cohen and Auguste are such cute names. Also, a nickname doesn’t have to have anything to do with your first name 😅.

I grew up with 3 kids named Braxton, and my mom always said the same thing about Braxton Hicks. I thought she was overreacting until I was pregnant and realized it would actually be strange 😅 And yes, THREE Braxtons. It must have been a weird area though because there were two named Shayla as well haha.. All white too.

Everest made the list. that's my #1 boy name. 😍

Milo, I think of Milo and Otis(dog and cat movie) but recently I've liked Otis more and more for a boy.

Holden is one of my favorite boy names as well!! When we were pregnant with my 3mo son, Jude was at the top of our list. Still on our list for future boy! Another great E name is Emmett. I used to know a Beckett and brother Emmet, it was cute 😍

We have a Roman, Elias and currently expecting our third we are considering Renzo, Diego or Zeke. Actually not sure what we’ll name this babe.

This is super late to the game but figured I would share it anyway because someone might see it and like it as much as I do. It's a family name, my great-great-Uncle's (2nd great Uncle?) name: Tobias. His brother, my other GG-Uncle's name was Matthias. Both of thier names were pronounced differently than traditional German pronounciation though. Like instead of Too-bii-as it was Tuh-bi-us and instead of Ma-tii-as it was Muh-tay-us. More relaxed sounding which in German I feel is a strange concept. Especially in the late 1800s/ early 1900s.

We have a Cyprian James and an Ambrose Joseph! (Both boys). Clearly we both appreciate the pairing of a more “out there” name with a solid traditional name. love all the unique names!!
