Love this list, Heather! Picking a baby name can be so difficult!!
Trish
It really can! Thanks, Trish!
Love this list! I have three boys and all 3 of their names are listed! I guess I like strong boy names 🙂
Yes, you do! What a coincidence! You obviously like adorable names too! These are some of my faves!
Colton (cole) Dalton, next is Jason and gunmer
Love th list of names! Do you happen to know what color paint is pictured in the nursery at the top of the page, I love it!!!
Yeah! That is my son’s room. The color of the paint is Sherwin Williams Sleepy blue. We diluted it by 50%. If you are going to try out the paint, I would first test it on the wall at 100% and then have them dilute it by 25% at first. Once you dilute it, you can’t go back!
My son’s strong baby boy name is Gideon, it means mighty warrior in Hebrew!
Yes!! I love that name!!!
My sons are all grown but their names are Landon, Trey and Ashton. My grandsons are Collin, Caleb, Vincent, Logan, Liam and Michael.
I do have 2 daughters and 5 granddaughters with beautiful names as well.
I love all of those names!
I really like the name Liam, but my son’s middle name is going to be William, so can’t really use the shortened version of the name for the first name. Emmett and Everett are really nice names too, so those may be worth considering for my partner and I.
You have great taste in names!
If only i could get husband to love these kinds of names!??
Ezra Finn would be a nice name.
Gavin Archer is nice too.
Ooooh I love your taste in names. BOTH of those names would totally be on my list if I had another boy.
I really loved these names
Looooove these names! I have a Gabriel James, Noah Douglas, Westin David, and Roman Alexander
I love all of those names!
