like my list - but is THE ONE on it.

[gblondie]

Which of these names do you like best, and do you have any similar suggestions? sorry it's soo long!
Thanks


Beckett
Knox (popular, generational?)
Corbin (Love this name, apparently it's insulting to jewish people????)
Gray (can it stand alone?)
Grayson (common?)
Kade (arcade, parkade?)
Malone
Marek (does this come across as a certain ethnicity or does it blend?)
Kane (don't really want any reference to the bible)
Kieran (This was our daughters "had I been a boy"name, still usable?)
Triston (Or should it be spelled tristan?)
Vaughn (have liked it for years, now seems a little boring to me)
Lennox (I love it, but have a hard time prouncing it sometimes, and wouldn't want LEN)
Nash (I get called Tash, too close a name for the same household?)
Nolan (cool, or nerdy?)
Rafferty (close to our last name)
Brooks (family last name as a first?)
Creed (too out there?)
Jax
Dex
Jack (popularity bothers me)
Carter (not usable because of the carter's clothing line?)
Merritt
Larkin (too girly?)
Cole (we are from a Coal town,. too close?)
Lucian
Rowan (Is this too girly now?)
Colton
Devlin (I have seen girls named devlin, is it being stolen?)
Gage
Maren (boyish enough?)
Merrick (personal fav. No one seems to like it though?)

Middle Names:
North (middle)
Forrest (probably a middle name)
Atticus

Here are my favorites... (and I LOVE Corbin)

Corbin
Kade
Triston
Jack
Carter
Cole

[kerrycl]

I think Merrick has a lot of potential. Marek seems to me like I would expect it to have some type of Middle Eastern or possibly Eastern European tie in.

[jshores]

I think you are thinking of Coen (insulting Jewish people). I don't think Corbin does? And I love Corbin.

My faves:
Atticus
North
Dex
Nash
Kieran
Corbin
Beckett

[peppersprout]

Beckett - I like this name although it seems a bit trendy. Beck is a cool nickname.

Knox - I just think about Angelina Jole.

Corbin - I think Cohen is the name that Jewish people prefer the rest of us not to use. I've never heard that Corbin was insulting to Jewish people.

Gray - I think Gray can stand alone depending on what your last name is.

Grayson - Please consider the fact that so many little boys have names that rhyme with Ayden. His name might be unique but he will be surrounded by Jayden, Aiden, Caden, Zayden, Brayden, and Hayden.

Malone - This is a cool name!

Marek - I like this.

Tristan - This is a cool name with an awesome backstory.

Nash - It would be cool as a nickname for Nashville or something. But by itself it reminds me of gnash. As in gnashing your teeth.

Nolan - Nerdy cool.

Brooks - This is my favorite. I like family surnames as first names. Also, it makes me think of a cultured cowboy.

Creed - Everyone will assume you are huge fans of Creed (the band)

Jax - Please go with Jack

Dex - If it's a nickname for Dexter, I must say that it's really cool.

Carter - I know a lot of little Carters.

Lucian - This is a classy name for a boy and a man.

Maren - I think this name is going to the girls.

Merrick - I love this name!

I like all of the middle names you have listed.

Here are some more suggestions:
Herrick
Declan
Edison
Sterling
Adrian
Lachlan
Leif
Lars
Desmond

[gblondie]

oh, I think everyone is right! It's cohen that offensive, not corbin. Ha ha. Love the suggestions of Sterling (prob. middle name) and adrian (very popular though!) keep them coming!

[dantea]

These are the ones I like with the middles I like with them:

Grayson Atticus-- I like Gray fine on its own, but I think it would make a good nn for Grayson too
Marek North
Kieran Forrest
Vaughn Atticus -- would sound better Atticus Vaughn
Rafferty North
Lucian Atticus
Devlin Atticus-- This is one of my favorite Irish boy names ^_^
Merrick North

[lori johnson]

My recommendation is ...

Geneva Simone

[and]

Lucien Ambroise [or] Augustin Corbeau

... a sibset comprised of regal-and-romantic French first and middle names.

P.S. Cohen [versus Corbin] is a Hebrew surname that's controversial when used as a first name [http://nameberry.com/babyname/Cohen].

[rylane]

Beckett --I LOVE this.
Knox--I don't love this
Corbin--just okay for me
Gray--I really do not like this, I know it's super "in" right now. I don't get it.
Grayson--Ditto Gray
Kade--I like this okay..but with all the Cadens running around, I think i'd skip this one. It'd be a cool mn.
Malone--again, I think this would be a cool mn.
Marek--I like Merrick better.
Kane--not a fan but definitely a no if you don't want a biblical name.
Kieran--I like this a lot...definitely still usuable.
Triston--I am not a fan of this one.
Vaughn--a bit boring compared to the rest of the list. Could be a cool mn.
Lennox--like this, but if you get tounge tied with it I'd say no.
Nash--not a fan
Nolan--ok
Rafferty--eh
Brooks--eh
Creed--I'd assume you were a huge Scott Stapp fan.
Jax --not as a whole
Dex --as a nn for Dexter
Jack--I just have never been a fan of this name...the other names on your list are so much better.
Carter--Love this. I buy those clothes for my kids, never made the connection.
Merritt--eh
Larkin--not a fan
Cole--love. Again would also make a great mn.
Lucian--I don't care for this
Rowan--I don't see the appeal of this name...on either gender.
Colton --ok
Devlin--I only know people with the surname Devlin, not sure I care for it as a fn.
Gage --I have a new baby cousin named this, I do not care for it.
Maren--eh
Merrick--I actually like this one a lot. If you and your husband like it, everyone else will get over it. lol.


My Fave 5 on your list:
Beckett
Merrick
Kieran
Carter
Corbin

[kiwimummy33]

I really like Corbin. The only issue with this name is the country I am in, Indonesia with 250 million plus people, also possibly Malaysia.. Korban, pron the same way means victim. Ie. Plane crash 100 korban.. Which has put me off. Not a problem elsewhere though.
