Location: TN | We’re finding out the gender in 2 weeks. We have a girl name picked out but need a boy name. Prefer western and unique but short (no more than 2 syllables for a first name) because our last name is long.
Help! Any ideas? |

| I really like Rhys (Reese) for some reason. Read it in a book recently and just thought it was a cool name!
I guess to me anything can be western depending on the setting.
Just like John could be biblical or related to John Wayne or psycopathic killer John Wayne Gacy. lol

Location: KS | We recently had a baby, had a boy 15 months ago, and got a girl this time, she's 2 months. :) We waited until the day to find out gender, so went to the hospital with a girl name and completely unsure of a boy name (we might still be at the hospital if we had a boy), we will be more prepared next time. I don't know why boy names are so difficult. I had my one boy named picked out long before we ever had kids, Ely. One of my roomates from college who was also a friend of my husbands chose it for his boy, like I said several years before we decided to have kids, so of course was bummed out, but I never told anyone, so its not like he stole it from me. But I'm kinda like you, not so much worried about being a copycat just wouldn't want our kids to have the same name. Anyway this name came up in a conversation a couple times over the last few years with my husbands brother and his wife and I told them ya, so Tom took the name I had picked out, they also know this guy well too. They had a boy just a couple weeks ago....guess what they named him?
I'm not going lie it kinda stung alittle. (Why I don't know) Not that I was every going to use it because I felt like we were too close to the person who did choose it (the first time), but honeslty I cant believe they chose it knowing it was a name I wanted (but was never going to use), like a girlfriend of mine told me, who also knew I had the name picked out at one time said, theres a million names out there, they didn't have to do that?! Were not as close to Tom and his wife as we use to be, but they must not care that they named their kid the same, I just wonder if the situation was reversed, if theyd care if someone used the same name, I think it might bother me if someone I know used the same name for their son as we did ours? And I wonder if id never said anything about it, if theyd even of come up with it? Maybe I'm being caddy, but I'm over it now, sorry for ranting about it on your thread.
And feel free to use Ely.

I totally get why you were upset! That’s just low to take the name after they knew you were annoyed your other friend used it. My husband isn’t a fan of Colt (I love it). We knew of one little guy named Colt but he’s 7 or 8 and lives in another state so I didn’t think it would be a big deal. Then this fall another rodeo family in our state named their son Colt so I hate to give him a common name. |
