Baby Names Help!

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

Starting to think about names for the baby.

Boy's name is really up in the air, however the middle name has been set so take that into account when giving suggestions.

______ Raymond Glaser

Some ideas we have had are:

Stuart Raymond Glaser

Lukas Raymond Glaser

Girl's names are kind of limited. Since our first two girls are Lily and Mackenzie we are wanting to keep the alphabet thing going and name the next one a First Name beginning with "N". The only one we both liked so far is:


Norah Belle Glaser


Looking forward to the ideas!

Michael Raymond Glaser is beautiful! My first son was Michael Raymond. Just goes together so well!

 

[JennyG]

Why not go Biblical? Timothy Raymond goes nicely....or James Raymond (I'm sure James Watson Otwell wouldn't mind the duplication)
Then for a girl, if it must be N, Naomi is pretty

though I do like Nancy's suggestion as well (and it's Biblical too!)

 

[Marrow Man]

For a girl, I like either Noel or Naomi.

 

[TimV]

Megatron.

"Magnus" already got turned down unfortunately, along with Cotton, Increase, and Wilhelmus.

 

[JennyG]

For a girl, I like either Noel or Naomi.

Noel is a boys name!! it ought to be Noelle How about Natalie, which I believe means the same?

 

[toddpedlar]

How about "Everybody Loves" ?

 

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

Too dated...

 

[christiana]

A friend named her daughter Noalie, as her husband was Noel. Lovely name and rather different.

 

[Marrow Man]

For a girl, I like either Noel or Naomi.

Noel is a boys name!! it ought to be Noelle How about Natalie, which I believe means the same?

Actually, on this side of the pond, I've seen females with Noel as a name. But I think I do like Noelle better.

 

[Marrow Man]

Anna likes Nathan or Nicholas.

 

[DMcFadden]

My almost arrived (next couple of weeks) granddaughter will be named "Charis" (as in χαρις = grace).

I also have a Micah, Carson, Dylan, and Rylan among the grandkids.
(My kids were Arol Everett, Joshua David, Sarah Jeanette, Nathan Paul, and Joy Anna.)

 

[larryjf]

For boys names i kinda like:

Benjamin Raymond Glaser
James Raymond Glaser

For girl names i kinda like:

Nicole Anne Glaser
Nadia Elise Glaser
Naomi Faith Glaser

May I just suggest that if you do go with Lucas (which I like!) you take the traditional spelling instead of using a k. I have friends with nontraditional spellings and its always been a problem for them.

(For a girl, I do like Norah (although I would again say go with the traditional spelling just to keep her from going crazy when she's older!)

I didn't realize your wife was having another child - Congratulations!

 

[jwithnell]

Well, we have a Uriah and and Obed so I don't know if you want our suggestions. If you want to keep the alphabet going, how about Nathan Raymond?

 

[Scottish Lass]

I also recommend checking sites like List of Names - Fun Name Lists - Baby Name Ideas - Parents.com to see what's popular, overused, etc. I thought Grace would not be common, and I hadn't seen it on the top ten lists, but it must be in the top 25, which I wish I'd known.

I wasn't being too serious - actually, when we were at the baby-naming stage, it was proverbial with us that
"in America, anybody can be called anything!!"
-This after hearing a friend's story about a new class she was teaching - she asked them all their names, and hearing one girl pronounce what she took to be a beautiful and unusual Shakespearian name, said "oh, how lovely - now, how do you spell it- P, O, R, T, I, A....?"
the girl replied,"no, p.o.r.s.c.h.e"

 

[Theoretical]

We have an elder whose daughter is named Niamh ("Bright" in Irish and pronounced Nev).

Go to the gift shop at the closest tourist trap if it is a girl, or maybe a 5 Below store, and pick a name that is on the mugs and pencils and necklaces and other gizmos. Trust me on this one, or you will never hear the end of it ( mine kept her Romanian name Yasmina which is never, ever, ever on anything at the shops. You would not believe what suffering we have caused )

 

[DMcFadden]

We have an associate pastor when a son named "Freedom" and a daughter named "Shining."

 

[TimV]

There was a kid in New Guinea in our village named Boot, since his dad kicked his mom while she was preggers. In SA we had a woman on the farm called King Size, since she was a bit heavy. Tribal names are the best.

 

[Marrow Man]

My almost arrived (next couple of weeks) granddaughter will be named "Charis" (as in χαρις = grace).

Since we are now discovering that "Grace" is a more common name than we first thought, I now wish we had gone this route with Charis...

 

[Marrow Man]

Benjamin, since you are the big Pirates fan, how about Doumit for a first name?

Or you could go with Barry Bonds Glaser.

 

[Backwoods Presbyterian]

How about Andy Van Slyke or, or even better Spanky LaValliere.

 

[JML]

How about Andy Van Slyke or, or even better Spanky LaValliere.

Or Sid Bream

(Remember I'm a Braves fan)

 

[Marrow Man]

As am I, John. Just don't suggest to Benjamin that he name his kid "Francisco Cabrera Glaser."

 

[JML]

As am I, John. Just don't suggest to Benjamin that he name his kid "Francisco Cabrera Glaser."

True. Cabrera got the hit and Sid Bream lumbered around 3rd and scored the winning run. Ah the memories. Distant memories now since the Braves have lost 9 in a row.

Make sure you look up potential names on the Baby Name Wizard. It will show you the popularity of that name over each decade of the past 130 years. It's a great resource for those who want to pick a popular name or something original.

 

[Mindaboo]

I like William Raymond or Matthew Raymond.
