 Topic: Help!
Posted: 24 June 2010 at 6:15pm |
Hi guys,
We have another little man on the way!! And now I have to do another annoying "help me with a name" post. Love all the ideas you all come up with... and as they say, two (or 200) heads is better than one. 
Obviously I have heaps of time, but really struggled with naming Jackson, so want to be organised this time (plus, in reality, I can't stand things being up in the air)!
So here are the rules:
1) Although I have a preference for J names, I don't think I want to have two J kids. So preferably not a J
2) I like longer names that have a clear nickname possibility (ie Jackson/Jack) to give the kid choice.
3) I like mostly more modern/common names. DH is against anything that he will have to spell out or repeat all his life.
4) Our last name is Winter. So don't want any names ending in 'er' or 'a'
5) Don't want a unisex name - I like strong boys names
So... whaddaya got?!?
Thanks heaps in advance!

Quick flip through my book with your asks- Abraham, Anthony, Ashton, Benjamin, Bradley, Dominic, Douglas, Ezekiel, Geoffrey, Gregory, Isaac, Marcus, Nathan/Nathaniel, Nicholas, Samuel, Thomas, Timothy, Tobias, Vincent, Zachary. Sorry if you have double-up ideas, haven't read other posts! & I stuck to the ones that had "suitable for adult" nicknames. =)
