View Full Version : Help us choose a name...
harmony5 09-27-2006, 02:13 AM For a boy! We have no idea what to name this baby if it is a boy! I know we have a while to go, but it will be here before you know it. So....tell me which you like best.
Braxton Tanner
Nelson Tanner
Dallas Tanner
Waylon Tanner
Tanner will definitely be the middle name because of a family name. DH wants it to be the first name, but there's just something about it that I don't really like as a first name. We want something different, but not crazy. Like Banana or something. We like fruit and all, but we don't want to name our child after it. :wink: Anyway, I'll tell you dh and my favorites once I get a little input. So, input away. Just wanted to see what you ladies thought!!
Thanks!
Lori
PS>>Dh and my favorite is not the same.....pick mine...pick mine...pick mine...
Well, I quite like Nelson Tanner. To me, when I hear Braxton it makes me think Hicks should be after it. :? But it's a nice name, if only Hicks would quit popping in my head after saying it. I hope I picked your fav!
imported_rachel 09-27-2006, 08:07 AM Like Dallas best..
breezykc2 09-27-2006, 08:19 AM I'd have to vote for Nelson too...Dallas makes me think of the city and how terrified I was driving there in all of that traffic! :shock:
I'm with EvaS....Braxton leads me right to adding Hicks to the end!
Good luck!
mom n luv 09-27-2006, 09:08 AM I like Braxton...for some reason my head doesn't pop to Hicks. Waylon however makes me think of Waylon Jennings but that would be my second pick.
~Tara~ 09-27-2006, 09:31 AM Sorry to say... Braxton has the same connotation to me *shrug*
I like Dallas (that's our pastor's name actually hehe) and Waylon. At first I was like ... 'waylon??' then just that fast..ooo, I think I like it! Different, but not off the wall different. I like those kinds of names myself. Yeah, yeah...Dallas or Waylon...don't know that I could pick between the two, so I'll just leave it at that, for now.
7thHeaven 09-27-2006, 11:16 AM I like Braxton also! :wink:
harmony5 09-27-2006, 11:24 AM Keep inputing (is that a word? :wink: )! I will reveal our favorites this evening. I am sure you are all dying of suspense!! So far, all names are tied--2 votes each.
Lori
OK, let me try to break the tie. I vote for Nelson (never had a thing about Braxton until I got pregnant... :wink:).
JoyLynn 09-27-2006, 03:04 PM Hi Lori, :D
K, Dallas would definitely be my firs choice. Nelson would be my second. Braxton is a cool name, but I'm with the others... reminds me of conraction. In fact, I think I feel one coming on. Wait... No, I forgot, I'm not pregnant. Just body memories. :lol:
[heart]
Joy [welcomewave]
Crissyanna 09-27-2006, 04:49 PM Ok, after thinking about it, my vote is for Dallas. That was one of my great-grandpa's names. AND it is the city where my amazingly wonderful husband was born.
If the two of you really can't agree on a name, why not use both and just give him two middle names? I've known a lot of people to do that. Just a thought.
For us it was girl's name. I am so grateful for online baby naming dictionaries!!!! I spent hours looking at girl's names before we found one we could agree on. My next step was to go and print names up and put them on a dart board and choose that way. Feel free to borrow that idea if it comes down to it!
Godzgirl 09-27-2006, 07:33 PM I think Dallas is sooo cute. It would be my first choice. My second choice would be Nelson.
mommyb 09-27-2006, 09:55 PM Wow! Am I the only one that likes Waylan best? I know, I know, I'm unusual :roll:
harmony5 09-27-2006, 10:52 PM Okay...the big reveal!
Dh's favorite is Nelson...which had 5 votes.
My favorite is Waylon...which had 3 votes. :cry:
:wink:
I can't believe we are having such a hard time finding a name. I really really like Dallas but dh says it reminds him of the TV show and Dallas TX. He likes Braxton too, but I don't really know about it... Hmmmm... :?
Babies should come with those little certificates like Cabbage Patch Kids do. They're already named. :lol: Actually, ummm, no, I take that back. I had a boy CPK named Barcloft Felix. So, okay, we'll choose something.
Keep voting though! Don't let my (wonderful and amazing) choice affect what you decide at all. :wink:
Lori
BlessedMommy 09-28-2006, 12:09 AM I vote for Braxton. Honestly, "hicks" never came to mind until I saw others' responses.
buttercup_97140 09-28-2006, 12:21 AM I would say Nelson....I did think of Hicks with Braxton too, I have known too many Dallas and I think of the city, and Waylon is kind of weird. I really shouldn't vote though, I really don't like most names out there...it took Dh and I over 5 years to come up with a name, and when we finally had a successful pg where we actually needed a name, we changed it after we found out we were having our Emma.....
I do know that whatever you decide with be wonderful along with that little face that will be so precious!! :-D
Amber
Angie-mom2CnD 09-29-2006, 10:49 PM Can I ask what's your last name? Cuz that can make all the difference. I loved the name Hunter, but with a last name of Baker, well, it just didn't sound right then. LOL
And what are your other kids' names? We have a pattern thing going with our names, I'm Angie, DH is Brian, DS is Colin, so our next child had to be named with a "D" name. However, if I get pregnant again, we're it's either Zoe or Zachary!!! LOL
harmony5 09-30-2006, 08:58 AM Our last name is Harmon. That's where the harmony5 comes from. :wink: Our kids names are Courtney, Alexander and Preston.
My grandpa's name was Harlan and I really like that, but Harlan Harmon was not even going to work! :lol:
Let me know what you think.
Lori
Angie-mom2CnD 09-30-2006, 10:47 PM I think I like Waylon (very unique) or Nelson best. All of your choices sound ok with your last name; I'm glad you thought of that. :) Keep us updated as to what you chose!
God Bless!!!
love2bmom 10-04-2006, 02:51 PM Waylon... hope that was your choice
