I need a good boy name!!?

Question

My partner and I can't agree on a name if we have a boy.

Names I love: Maddox, Logan and Clay

Names he loves: Thor, Tyr (Teer) and Gavin

Does anyone have any idea what we can do? We agreed on a girl's name right away (Lilja), but we're having so much trouble agreeing on a boy's. Help! Any suggestion? We want a name that is unusual like our daughter's (Elora). Don't tell me not to use an unusual name, you're not going to change my mind!

Answer 1

I like Logan and Gavin. I think you have better taste, because even though I love Gavin, Thor and Tyr are very bad. Try to get gim to let you pick the first name and let him pick the middle.  

Answer 2

I don't really like any of those names except Thor.

It seems there is a big fad going on, I mean

These were listed in the top 50 most popular names last year

17. Logan

32. Gavin

That's not exactly unique =/

Also a big influx in maddox being used.

Answer 3

adrien

carlson

Omari

Dakarai

Lian

Bao

Tiago

Fabio

Celio

Asher

Kiefer

(Good Luck With Your Brand New Baby)

Answer 4

Thor????? Your husband is trippin'! Anyway, I would go with Logan or Gavin. Maddox MAYBE.

Answer 5

Maybe use a name you love as the first name and a name he loves as the middle name? I love unusual names!

Answer 6

Just combine them!

Clay Gavin

Maddox Tyr

Logan Try

Gavin Clay

Tyr Logan

Gavin Maddox

Answer 7

Theodore (Theo) - (Thor + Maddox)

Logan Tyr -

Gavin Clayton

Quincy

Troy

Allen

Derry

Gordon

Caden

Ruse

Answer 8

Some male irish names are really beautiful an unique.

Deaglan/Declan (pronounced deck-lan)

Dubhlainn (pronounced dove-lin) or Doolin

Eamon (promounced aim-in)

Ronan

Ruari (pronounce ro-ree)

Seamus (shay-muss)

Tierney

All of these names also have very cool translations/symbolic meanings

Answer 9

Oscar Is Quite Cute and Lovable! x

Answer 10

Maddox Tyr-- use both!

Other names:

Braeden

Braxton

Allister

Cannon

Hampton

Clayton

Landon

Carter

Tristan

Mitchell

Grant

Dunno...just some ideas-

Answer 11

I like Gavin or Logan. those are two of the names I have picked out. Or you can put the names together. I think Logan Tyr is cute! and original

Answer 12

okay... PLEASE don't name your kid thor!!! go online and look up baby names. or buy a baby book. or maybe you can make a list of all the names you like the most and figure out a unique way to spell them. that's what my mom did. she liked ava and anastacia, and put them together... avastacia(my sister's name). or you could name him after someone; i'm named after my dad, his name is cedric. you could try to do the same. just remember that this name will possibly shape the child's life, so be sure not to choose a silly name. unique is one thing, but stupid is another! hope i helped!

Answer 13

Gavin

Answer 14

I really like the name Gavin. It is unique, yet classic.

I would vote no to Thor and Tyr as first names. They sound a bit too put-on. Besides Thor and Elora would be really cheesy.

Maddox and Logan are unisex names, so they wouldn't be my first choice for a boy's first name.

Perhaps you could try:

Gavin Clay

Gavin Clayton

Clayton Thor

Gavin Maddox

Best wishes!

Answer 15

aiden, coal, damien, noah (:

Answer 16

Well, are you going to do a first and middle name? If so, pick one you like and one your partner likes. (This does raise the argument of which name comes first however)

But out of all 6 names I'm more partial to all of yours, & Gavin. Thor would guarantee merciless teasing for the rest of his life. and Tyr would require him to explain the pronunciation for the rest of his life.  

Answer 17

Name him after you... Teegan is cute and can go for either a boy or a girl!  

Tyr and Thor- please don't put that poor baby through that for the rest of his life!

Answer 18

Logan and Gavin are equally good, but not both together.

I like Logan a bit better.

Answer 19

Gavin was what my husband and I were going to use but ours turned out to be a girl.

Answer 20

You could combine two names eg. Gavin-Clay, Logan Tyr

Answer 21

How about Logan Tyr, or Maddox Thor(this name sounds strong, sturdy, masculine), or Gavin Clay,hope these helped! I believe a name is what the child grows to be!

Answer 22

each pick a favorite name and then put it together as a compromise, the way they do with celebs names (brangelina,tomkat) etc

Answer 23

Andy or Allen

Answer 24

Here are some combos of the names you've both chosen:

Maddox Tyr: This name conjures up the image of a little tough guy! He sounds like a spunky, fun kid!

Logan Thor: This name conjures up the image of a scholar/deep thinker. He seems soft-spoken, maybe a bit sensitive, and extremely thoughtful.

Gavin Clay: This name conjures up the image of a mini rock star! He sounds like he'd practically come out the womb banging pots and pans or writing lyrics LOL!

Out of all of these, I like Gavin Clay the best. Since you want something unsual, however, I'd be sure to check the baby naming trends over the last few years so he doesn't end up being the third kid in his class with the same name! Good luck :)

Answer 25

What about: Brock, Jett, Docker, Levi, Raleigh, Cooper, Ryder, Cyrus, Shale, Easton, Braxton, Sawyer, Dawson, Fisher, Talon, Becket, Dalton, Maxum, Drake or Tanner?

Why not comprimise and have one as the middle, you can call him either if you want :)

Clay, Gavin and Logan are really cute name.
