Baby Names

Discussing baby names with Matt this weekend:

Me: How about Leaf? (for some reason I am on an outdoor kick with boy name ideas)

Matt: Hello little boy what is your name?

Matt (in dorky voice): Seasonal Tree Appendage

What a dork.


Send your boy name ideas our way: ___________ Edward Went.

Brent. Nothing is cooler than a rhyming name.

Either that or "Howie". "Howie Went?" I think he took the bus...

"Cayman"? Nah, "Cayman Went" is an even worse pun than the "Howie".

Matt, Kara, Hunter and Cavan said...

Are all husbands such smart assess? I am beginning to think so! lol

deiss said...

How about... Octavio? Waldo? Bartholomew?

Okay, realistically - Evan? That flows nicely: Evan Edward Went. Yes. Evan.

Meandering Michael said...

I was kidding about "Howie" and "Cayman", but "Brent Went" is a totally cool name.

Matt, Kara, Hunter and Cavan said...

Michael- Matt congratulates you! You are the first person to come up with any original to go with Went in 30 years he says. He figures he heard it all in the first 3 years of his life and no one has been original since then!!

Rob, Tina and the boys said...

I'm in love with the name Gabe. Not Gabriel, but Gabe. I fought with Rob to name Colby Gabe, but he wouldn't go for it. Gabe Edward Went. Or Mitchell. I love that too. Or Joshua. All names I picked out that Rob shot down. Jerk. :) Wait a minute. What if it's a girl? Rob's suggestion is "Fisher". Since you have a Hunter, you need a Fisher. :)

Aida said...

let me guess. u probably hv 3 pages of girl's name picked out?lol its far easier to name girls eh.

Ben was our first choice.a few other names in pile were Liam, Ronan and Seamus. Ben's middle name is Timothy

Matt, Kara, Hunter and Cavan said...

Tina- that is exactly the name I have been harassing Matt about!! Fisher!!!!! Seriously! It drives him crazy- he hates it! And I love love love it. Poor husband.

Girl name was no problem. We have had it since we were pregnant with Hunter. Anna Elizabeth. Anna after my grandma and Elizabeth is a name used often in Matt's family.

Just me said...

I vote for Clark.
Clark Edward Went.
Oh...wait..

Clark Went...Clark Kent...maybe not. LOL. It sounded great when I started out.

Good luck!

I've always been a fan of Eric.

Have you tried different spellings of Leaf, like Leif, chalk it up to some random German heritage :-)

I also like Christopher, Christopher Edward Went has a nice ring. and I like Michael too.

Good luck.

If you need unique names, I went to school with some kids from Big Bar, all boys, and they were named, Jangles, Pollen, Bros (Bro), Naho, Joel & Cody. I always get a kick out of saying the last two after the first ones.

Matt, Kara, Hunter and Cavan said...

ahahah Jangles?? I should suggest that one to Matt...

deiss said...

Trish is embracing her Scandinavian heritage here... Eric... Leif... ahahaha

How about... Uqon? hee hee... get it? :-P

Meandering Michael said...

Wow. I guess it comes so easily because I've got "one of those last names" too.

Asheya said...

How about Spencer? Keep the 'er' ending thing going. There are lots of last names that work great as first names - like Fraser (another 'er' one), or Dallas, or Bailey. Just open the phone book! Ok, here's a great one I found under "S" - Scuttlebutt. Seriously. Look it up. It's there. Or Zazula. I think I'm on to something...
