mom2agang Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 We are looking at boy names and so far we like Brock and Uriah. We are looking for more name ideas similar to this type. We like common but not too weird. But not over used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganicAnn Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I guess you've considered the fictional character of Uriah Heap. In looking around at the kids I know, John would probably be an unusual name these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 We have an Axel. What do you think about that? Once we got over the whole Guns 'n Roses thing, we realized we really liked the name. It is, admittedly, the most unique of our kids' names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I guess you've considered the fictional character of Uriah Heap. This was what came to my mind as well. Uriah Heap is a character in David Copperfield, and not a particularly nice one. I'm only mentioning it because you might not be aware of this reference; for a lot of people it may be the first thing that comes to mind, better to know up-front and make an informed decision. I do like Brock. What about Hunter, Evan, Jake, Zack, Brandon? What about family last names as first names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsabelC Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Snap on Uriah Heap. I know there were Uriahs in the OT first, but seriously, Dickens destroyed the name forever with that character - I wouldn't use Uriah any more than I'd use, say, Adolf. Here is one good list if you like Biblical names (there are others around). Brock I just think badger because that's what they are called in some places. (Maybe that's not the case in the States?) Although a badger's quite a nice animal :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Brock doesn't fit at all with your other kids' names, and Uriah, in addition to reminding me of urine, has been ruined by Uriah Heap. As far as biblical names, you've already used my two favorites: Nehemiah and Gideon. I also like Asher, Jude, Jonah, and Gabriel.

Cinder Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 You could compromise: name him Brock Uriah Douglas and call him Bud. :tongue_smilie: On a slightly more serious note, how about Zane Mitchell? Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonshineLearner Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Well, if you don't like Uriah, you could let him know that it sounds like Urea and other closely related words.... Also like "Your" Eye "Uh" that could come out pretty cruel over and over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhjmom Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I don't really like bible names. I love Brock Douglas but my husband likes Uriah. He heard it on TV and loves it. He don't care if it's in the bible or not. :confused: I am a little confused because it seems like you do/did like Biblical names. Just a thought, our oldest (my step-DD) names begins with a "C". My son's (DH's step) name begins with a "F". Our first DD together also has an "F" name. We picked it because it was the only name we both could agree on, not because we wanted it to match DS, but I was concerned because I didn't want step-DD to feel left out. DH talked me into using the F name and assured me that step-DD wouldn't care. Then when I was pregnant with Littlest DD and we were discussing names, oldest DD said "Whatever you pick, please don't use a name that starts with F!" She had never mentioned it before, but apparently it really bothered her that she didn't fit the same pattern - and we only had two others. Littlest has an "E" name. Not trying to talk you into a Biblical name, just giving a perspective to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2agang Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 We never picked the other ones because of a bible theme. We like old fashion not weird but not common either. They just happen to be bible names. My husband didn't even know Hadassah was in the bible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get to know really quickly who reads their Bible because the ones who don't think Judah is a girl name :001_huh:. We've only met one other Judah. I can bet you won't find another Judah in our whole school district. It means "now I will praise the Lord". Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheBrink Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think Micah is getting to be pretty popular. I like Zane, Ezra, Joab, Jonah, Phillip, and Jude. I don't care for this new trend of spelling Jackson as Jaxon. No offense to anyone, but to me, it looks misspelled. But, admittedly, I'm old. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I like several of the suggestions given already...Mason, Micah, Art, Judah. I don't care for Uriah or Jackson (spelled either way, it's just becoming too popular for my taste). You already have a Titus, right?

Caitilin Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Levi? Elias? Isaac, and call him Ike? I think it'd be hard on the dc to be the only one whose name doesn't "match" the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Brock reminds me of that Reba's ex husband on that sitcom she used to be on. Uriah is going go remind people of urine & urethra, I think. I like Eric Elias Mark (I haven't met too many young boys with this name, so it's not common anymore) My son's name is great, but no one around here can say it if they read it, and even when they here it they turn it into a 2 syllable name, so I won't even put it down. I'm not from the States and knew that people Americanized names, but didn't realize that the accent in this town makes it hard for people here to say it. Mason is becoming quite popular around here as are many Biblical names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryElizabeth Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think of Uriah Heap too... but I like Jedadiah (however ya spell it). Asa? (nice biblical name you don't hear too often). Abel? Have an acquaintance whose son's name in Menac (I don't know how she spells it, but that's how it sounds). Think MEN and AC (rhymes with pack) second syllable's stressed. Doc? Sanford? Olin? Howard?

2squared Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 My other son's name is Micah. If we have another son he'll be Simon. Since my favorite boy's name is Micah and Simon has been on top of dh's list every time so far, what are your girl names? Maybe we can steal one of them for this time. Our boy names are Jonah and Elijah. I would love to have a Micah, but the next one is probably going to be a Simon. P.S. I have no idea what that thumbs down thingy is going up there.
