    Would really love some new suggestions!

    So we are going to start TTC at the end of August and I have a girls name picked out and I have a few boys names in mind but I'd love some fresh ideas.

    Here's some ideas of what I like. I love word names and old geezer names. Any word names that have a vintage feel or a vintage name with a good meaning will mOst likely get me. No names from the current top 1000. I also love English and German names most. Last name is Miller. Has older brothers Pilot and Dexter.
    Names Im liking right now...
    Forth Winsome Miller
    Rove Norman Miller

    Also mn possibility is Grimm which is a family name and I love it.
    Mommy to Pilot David Patrick (5), Dexter Audio (3) and Happy Cordelia (new!)

    If I could have another... Aziza/ Beatrix/ Bluejay/ Fern/ Ingrid/ Marigold/ Norma/ Temple/ Viola
    Anchor/ Cedar/ Cove/ Dudley/ Forth/ Hanes/ Moss/ Thicket/ Ward/ Wolfgang

    Winsome Grimm Miller!

    Also:

    Fiero Miller
    Zhivago Miller
    Ortwin Miller
    Hero Miller
    Valor Miller
    Croix Miller
    Legend Miller
    Roque Miller
    Taliesin Miller
    Domino Miller
    Edgar Miller
    Cobalt Miller
    Lux Miller (I know it's usually for girls, but I really love it as a unisex name)
    Quiller Miller
    Webster Miller
    Brewster Miller
    Fane Miller
    Quixley Miller
    Rigby Miller
    Tolliver Miller

    I wish Skeet didn't mean... something you wouldn't want to name a child... now. I think Pilot, Dexter, and Skeet would be adorable!

    I like Hero but a lot to live up to I think. VAlor is great but I'm worried about the Nn Val. I don't really like Val. Also the ending in R like Dexter. Croix was actually Dexter's name for a while when I was preggo but I got a ton of crap about the water. I like Legend but again, a bit to live up to. Domino is added to my list even though I always saw it on the girls side. Fane is quite interesting, added.
    Rigby! Lemme talk about that for a second. I love it but, there is a character on a tv show that my boys watch (The Regular Show). 1. they will most definitely associate the name with the character. 2. The character hates his name and there is an episode where he changes it. 3. He's a raccoon. But! I would go back in a sec and change Dexter's name to Digby!

    Thank you so much for your reply. I know my naming style is kind of a challenge and I'm really picky.

    I'm happy it helped some! I definitely understand the pressures of Hero and Legend. Sorry to stalk your thread, but I thought of some more:

    Aldous
    Montague
    Ferris (Reminds me of Ferrous)
    Othniel (Othniel Charles Marsh won the Bone Wars.)
    Drogo
    Jhonen
    Vrai
    Briscoe
    Ulric
    Chauncey

    Rove makes me think of Karl Rove, which definitely turns me off of it as a name. (That doesn't neccessarily make it unusable. I'm just putting the association out there because it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the name.)

    Since you like Forth, perhaps you might like North as well? I'm pretty fond of that one. Also, perhaps Vail or Vale could be a substitute for Valor if you don't like Val as a nickname? They're similar but maybe just different enough, and since they're already one syllable no one would shorten them to Val.

    Fleet is really cool. I've never thought of that before, but I really like it.

    Other suggestions ...

    Bede
    Sayer / Sayre
    Thayer
    Lark (This is more commonly seen as a girls' name, but the only time it was ever in the top 1000 was briefly as a boys' name in the 1800s. It's also markedly similar to Clark, which is well-established as a boys' name.)
    Pimm / Pim (http://appellationmountain.net/2012/...-the-day-pimm/)
    Thane
    Bram
    Tycho (A Greek named made most famous by a Danish astronomer and currently in the top 200 in the Netherlands.)
    Bas / Baz
    Yuri
    Rye
    Nye (This is use as a nickname for the Welsh name Aneurin / Aneirin, which means "noble." I think it's pretty cool, but I hope it's not too Bill Nye the Science Guy.)
    Jago
    Rowe
    Lowe
    Barlow
    Winslow
    Ansel
    Elmo (I suspect this is too Sesame Street, but I wish it wasn't. Maybe Erasmus, which is related to it?)
    Inigo
    Benno
    Stellan
    Meino (Behind the Name as this listed as being derived from old German and meaning 'strength.' [http://www.behindthename.com/name/meino] I don't know if you'll like the alliteration, but I like the sound of Meino Miller.)
    Errol
    Quirin
    Otto
    Royal
    Noble
    Walter

    Lark- love this for a girl. Even more Larkspur
    Pim- I know this is a boy name but I also see all girl for some reason. But I love it.
    Rye- interesting. noted.
    Rowe- even better.
    Ansel- actually was on my list paired with the middle name Grimm but I thought Ansel Grimm may be a little too German next to my other boys. But It's still in my eye.
    Elmo- I agree with this one. Too sesame street, wish it wasn't.
    Royal- used to be on my list, decided against it.
    Noble- see Royal.
    Walter- love. too common?

    Okay so my new list is...

    Forth Winsome Miller
    Fleet Norman Miller
    Anchor Grimm Miller- I like the idea of Anchor but not the sound. Any ideas?
