Help Name Baby, Again!
Update: Greyson Carlson has been born, and his name came as a direct result of these comments. Thank you!
My wife and I are expecting our a new baby, our third boy, in a few weeks and just like last time we haven’t picked a name yet!
Please help name the baby!
Our name rules:
- It can’t be too popular. Our first son’s name, Emerson, is number 755 on this list. Our second, Franklin, is #468.
- It shouldn’t be too obscure and difficult to spell.
- It shouldn’t start with an E or an F. It would be neat if it started with a G, but that’s not a requirement.
- No cities names. I have a set of cousin’s named after cities, so that’s their trend.
Please post your suggestions in the comments.
(To make things interesting, if we use your name, and you’re the first person to suggest it, I’ll send you a $100 Amazon or iTunes gift certificate. Contest ends when the baby is born. Spread the word!)

I wanted to name my latest son Maximillian Gustavus Lavandowska, but it was not to be.
Gustavus is a pretty uncommon first name, I’d think. (pronounced gus-tay-vus).
Chet Kuhn on June 26th, 2008 12:20 pm
Well, of course it should be Greyson. It fits with the G theme, it fits with the sound of the other names, and you can call him ‘Grey’, which is a cool sounding name!
Takeyce on June 26th, 2008 12:24 pm
How about Griffin?
Janet Ford on June 26th, 2008 12:54 pm
Congratulations on your new blessing!!
I LOVE name games! Let’s have a go…
Gandolf or Gandolph
Merle.. ah.. not a G name
Reuben … there I go again..
GADIEL – a biblical name meaning ‘god is my good fortune.’ extremely rare these days, this would make a great name, fitting in with all the Gabriels and Nathaniels out there.
GALEN
GAMALIEL – /guh MAH lee el/ an Old Testament name meaning ‘god rewards with good.’ It was the middle name of US president Harding.
GARETH
GENYA
GERMÁN: Pronounced /hayr MON/, this elegant Spanish name comes from the Latin meaning ‘brother.’
GERSHON
GIDEON
GILBY
GILES/GILLES
GILLIAN
GILLON
Whatever name you choose, I’m sure he will be bright and beautiful and I wish you, your wife and his two big brothers all the best!

What about…
Gibson, as the guitar? or Gilbert ? But I prefer Enzo, but you don’t want any name with E…
kipp on June 27th, 2008 12:43 pm
Hmm… name for a baby…
On first thought I go by one of my favorite book writers Robert Jordan who wrote a story about a boy named Perrin (well he’s more like a side-character though).
Since my head seems empty and I want a candidate starting with g too, I’ll just think about the other guys in Jordan’s books… hmm… Galad and Gawyn I think are the names of some prince-brothers in the Wheel of Time series.

I always liked the name Ocean for a boy.
Good Luck choosing! I think it’s so much harder choosing boys names.

Jeanne Breault on June 29th, 2008 11:23 am
Darn, I didn’t read through the names already submitted before I did some thinking and research!
Some of the names I came up with are already mentioned! Maybe when I tell you why I chose them you’ll consider a little added bonus if you choose one! :-)
First, thinking about Franklin and Emerson, I was thinking about names that end with “n.”
Then I thought about famous Franklins and Emersons…Benjamin Franklin, FDR, Franklin Mint and Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Emerson(Emerson Electric).
So we have a few threads to follow:
Benjamin Franklin, FDR and Ralph Waldo Emerson were all involved in American history/politics – Emerson in political thought.
Benjamin Franklin and Ralph Waldo Emerson:
both were authors
both born in Boston
Franklin lived in the 1700’s, Emerson and FDR the in the 1800’s
Franklin Mint and Emerson Electric are both successful companies.
Emerson means “son of the noble.”
Franklin means “enriched with great possessions.”
Based on all that, here’s what I’ve come up with:
Grayson
▪Grayson Perry, artist, living in 1900-2000’s, born in Suffolk, England)
Jeanne Breault on June 29th, 2008 12:36 pm
Oops, must have hit enter by mistake! :-)
▪ Richard Grayson, author, living in 1900-2000’s, born in Brooklyn, ran for AZ Congressional Seat earlier this year
Grayson means “son of the gray-haired man,” which doesn’t really relate to Franklin and Emerson meanings!
Gavin
▪ John Gavin, actor a la Rock Hudson, lived in 1900’s, born in LA, named Ambassador to Mexico by Reagan in 1980’s
Gavin means “little hawk,” again not related to Franklin and Emerson meanings.
Garrison
▪ Garrison Keillor, author/storyteller/musician, living in 1900-2000’s, born in Minnesota, political essayist
Garrison means “place where troops are stationed, for the defense of a town or fort”
Gibson
▪ Orville Gibson, founder of Gibson Guitars, eccentric who made stringed instruments, lived in 1800-1900’s, born in New York
Gibson means “son of Gilbert, trusted”
Griffin
▪Merv Griffin, tv show host/producer/creator, businessman, lived in 1900-2000’s, born in LA,
▪W.E.B. Griffin, author, living in 1900-2000’s, born in New York
Griffin meanss “to give”
Goddard
▪ Robert Goddard, born in Boston, scientist/inventor, lived in 1800-1900’s, no “vowel-n”
Goddard means “God-like disposition”
Graham
▪Alexander Graham Bell, scientist/writer, lived in 1800-1900’s, born in Scotland, no “vowel-n”
Graham means “having a fierce and stern look, courageous”
Congrats on baby #3 – how exciting! Thanks for the chance to play “name the baby.” It was fun!

Our eldest son’s name is Calder. It rhymes with balder. We got more bland after him, but if is certainly an interesting name. We call him Cal sometimes.
I have four sons and wish I would have named one of them Forrest and another Harrison.
We have a Drew also (after Nancy).
We have an Ethan, but so does everyone else in the entire universe.
Our last son is named Jack. Just Jack. I love his name, but you can see the progression here. We got more and more simple. If we had had another son we would have just named him “boy”.
Judith on June 29th, 2008 8:49 pm
We love the name “Carter” – not too common but not too difficult – congrats on the baby boy!
Sambavi on June 30th, 2008 9:18 am
Hey I suggest the following names with meaning
Gagan – Heavenly sky (Sanskrit)
Gatik – Progressive (Sanskrit)
Gonen – Protector (Hebrew)
Aaron – Strong (Hebrew)
Abbie / Abby – Joy of the Father (English)
Abhay – Fearless (Sanskrit)

Congratulations! :)

Calvin,

Just a note, none of these are my name.
Gipper Sullivan on July 1st, 2008 9:16 pm
My real name is Gipper, and I haved loved having it for a name. Comes from George Gipp,
Knute Rockne’s, famous “Win one for the Gipper “speech came from. Look it up.
Terry on July 2nd, 2008 12:56 am
How about my Grandpa’s name?
Garland
It’s an older name that is a bit unique and not too over used.
I also like Zak, plain ‘ol Zak. (Z rhymes with G)
All the best to you and your family!

Kayleigh Parks on July 2nd, 2008 11:24 am
I like the name Gaige, it is simple and not very popular, plus goes with starting with a “g”. Congratulations. Hope all goes well.

Since it has faded out of view, how about good old John? or Jonathan?

Congrats on the new baby!

Depending on your hertiage of your father and mother and their country of birth Carlson sounds like and Irish or English name. So you know its a boy for sure.
How about the following:
Kevin
Shawn
Henry
William
Harry
Sean
Bloody Merry on July 3rd, 2008 12:53 pm
Why don’t you call it Rossie if it’s a girl. The name sounds great + it’s not that popular so it can be remembered faster than the other and your kid would be one of a kind in your blockside :):)
P.S.Congrats and good lick with the little angel.I hope he/she’ll make you happier than you are now :)
xoxo
Arielle on July 3rd, 2008 3:59 pm
Congratulations to both of you!
It’s your choice of what to name your baby, but I suggest Forrest. It’s a “classic” name, is really easy to remember and spell, and is like #995 on the Popular List that you named your other two babies. :)
Nancy on July 4th, 2008 10:26 am
Dane – love your name!
Very happy for you and your family . I would recommend using “alliteration”. As your last name is Carlson, I think Camren would be a nice fit. I also went to school with a super cool guy named Cal.

CONGRATS on your gift from above…
My daughter’s names are Piper Maddison and Patience Janine. I like you did not want something “popular”, but I did want something that meant something to me. So, with this being said; many blessings for your future endevours.
Here are some of the names I have come up with:
Corbin James (I know it doesn’t start with a G, but I love that name).
Gabriel (Gabe for a nickname)
Gaston (from Europe, I think it’s very catchy)
Hope this helps…hope one of the names I’ve chosen work for you!!!

In the 1960’s I worked with a guy named Galen and I loved the name and in all these years I’ve never meant another Galen. Congratz and good luck with your new addition.
Caz on July 7th, 2008 5:20 pm
“Lachlan” is a boy’s name that’s fairly common here in Australia but it doesn’t seem to be on that list of top USA names. (Pronounced Locklan, often called Lockie for short).
Another one I like (my nephew’s name) is Rohan (also spelt Rowan) which is 534 on the list.
Scarlett on July 7th, 2008 6:44 pm
I have two boys myself, and working on a third baby… First one was easy to name – just think of the best boy name you can, right? Second one didn’t get a name until 4 days before he was born. I’m scared to think what will happen if we have a third boy! So anyway, here’s my short list:
Hayden (my older son, and therefore the BEST name)
Isaac (my younger son)
Piers (fought hard for this one for son #2. Hubby said no)
Weston
Brennan
Desmond (I’m a huge LOST fan…)

What about good old fashioned “George” for a name? It is not as rare as you would probably be shooting for, but not too many people seem to be naming their boys “George” these days so it will be refreshingly different (I don’t know anyone under 35 named George).
If it had been a girl, I would have suggested Gurlinda/Gerlinda just to be different.

Erin Ely on July 9th, 2008 8:20 am
My son’s name, who was named after one of my brothers: Locke
you can either pronounce with the “e” on the end or not, just like Lock, we pronounce it without the “e”, usually but sometimes I use the “e” when my son is home. He prefers the pronunciation without the “e” from his friends and teachers, etc.
My son’s name is: Locke Paul xxxx
There is a famous philosopher John Locke
so it has been used as a surname, but we used it as a first name.
It is very different and I have never heard anyone else with the name other than my brother and my son and I really like it.
All the best to you and your family, it’s lovely to have a new baby on the way.
Carlos Rizo on July 9th, 2008 11:25 am
Congratulations on your new baby.
Every child is unique and yours deserves a unique name. My suggestion is Gabor. It is different (not listed on the 1000 more frequent names), is not difficult to spell, it is not a city, and starts with ‘G’.
You may have seen ‘Gabor’ as a last name perhaps because of Dennis Gabor, a British physicist, born in Hungary, inventor of holography, and Nobel prize 1971.
It can be used as a name also (my watchmaker’s name is Gabor).
Congratulations again.

I’ve just read through all these names and didn’t see my maiden name, which my daughter has used as a middle name for her second son.
Garnett
It’s a strong, powerful, individual name.
You and your wife have already chosen wonderful strong names for your sons, and I think Garnett would suit you all.
Good luck to your wife and the new life entering your family.
Diana Ward on July 12th, 2008 7:48 am
I vote for Galen. It has an illustrious history and matches the level of sophistication of the names of your first two sons:
Emerson, Franklin, Galen, I envy your wife in getting to shout those names so often over the next 20 years.

These are ones that are all from last names:
Spenser after the English poet (my favorite)
Baldwin after the author James Baldwin, it’s English in origin, also
Gordon, also English origin
Beckett, author, English origin
Good luck not picking too popular a name. When we chose Aidan, we didn’t know anyone with that name. It was the name of my husband’s best childhood friend’s dad and dh always said if he had a son, he wanted to name him Aidan. And, now, I see it might be the most popular name in 2015. That’s just crazy! lol
iVONNE on July 12th, 2008 7:33 pm
How about Gage? it starts with a g and it is not very common.
Sheena on July 13th, 2008 5:01 pm
What about Jayson?
Tetri on July 13th, 2008 6:51 pm
Why not GOOGLE?!?
OMG! I guess that I’m spending too much time over the Internet…
HoundsGood on July 13th, 2008 7:14 pm
Oh gee….if you picked Google, like Tetri suggested, you would be sure to make the AP wire with that one.
Teresa on July 13th, 2008 11:13 pm
Best wishes with your new baby! How about the name Asa?
Alexa on July 14th, 2008 10:51 am

Griffin is the obvious choice. It’s a G, it has the same sounding ending as Emerson and Franklin, and it is not too popular.
Sorry you didn’t get the girl. Go for 4 I guess.
Barbara on July 17th, 2008 2:25 pm
How about Malcolm Ian? Flows nicely with Carlson, #478 on list so not too popular, and not difficult to pronounce or spell.
g Daniel on July 17th, 2008 4:59 pm
Graham
Gibson
Grayson
Garrett
Resa on July 17th, 2008 8:01 pm
we have a hudson elliot and a wesley graham (kind of like the surnames)
i saw this already- but love Harrison and Grayson (for the G)
Trenton?
Owen? is that a common name these days?
Cale? Calen?
Wyatt?
Cole?
Congrats. Boys are the best! Enjoy. Let us know what you pick, because we are in the biz of babies and awesome cloths that show off your hard work choosing the perfect name.

What about Aiden? Pronounced “ayden”. I love this name and I didn’t think I saw it on the list.
Joy Ramos Davis on July 18th, 2008 7:59 am
Dear Dane:
I’ve always like Preston. What’s even better is to see what symbols show up from God at the time of birth so that you know what to call him. This is an aboriginal Australian tradition.
By the way, I changed my name at 18 to reflect who I really am inside.
Joy
Lilly on July 18th, 2008 3:45 pm

What ever name you chose may the Lord Bless your wife and new son with good health and your family with happiness.
cabronsito on July 19th, 2008 11:06 pm
I think there are 2 more important things to think about.
It should combine with the last name and it shouldn´t be easy to make fun of the name.
Carlson sounds Swedish, doesn´t it?
So a beutiful combination could be a Spanish/Italian name.
How about
GIULIO Carlson
GIANCARLO Carlson
GIANLUCA Carlson
GIANFRANCO Carlson
GINO Carlson
GIACOMO Carlson
GIANPIERO Carlson
Maybe we should think about syllables, too.
Franklin = 2
Emerson = 3
New angel = 4 or 1?
Are you a religious family?
Then let´s take a look at the bible:
GERARDO Carlson (24-IX)
GREGORIO Carlson (3-XI)
And why not scandinavian?
NIKLAS (my big one´s name) Carlson

I have 5 kids
chloe
george
summer
shian
A.J
its never easy choosing names and as im biased maybe
GEORGE shold be a good option which is rather popular or maybe
GORDON meaning
Transferred use of the Scottish surname believed to have originated from the place-name Gordon in Berwickshire. The place-name is of uncertain etymology. The use of Gordon as a given name dates to the 19th century, when it was bestowed in honor of the popular British general Charles Gordon (1833-85), called Chinese Gordon from his service in China, Egypt, and Sudan.
i have a friend whos first name is well rather boring so to speak so we call him by hes last name which is GORDON .. and hes a really nice person
good luck anyway!!!
Alessandra on July 21st, 2008 10:49 am
Congratulations!
A name starting with G I actually love is… Galahad
Here’s a little bit of history:
According to the legend, Helen of Cobernic was fond on Lancelot, who actually loved Queen Guinevere. In order to to make her wishes come true, Helen magically took the Queen’s sembiances and slept with him getting pregnant of a son, who was Galahad.
As he grew, Galahad became one of King Arthur’s Knights. The first time he went into the Round Table Room he took place on the Dangerous Seat (a seat mage Merlin had enchanted in order to allow only the one who would find the Holy Grail to sit in, everyone else would have died taking place on that seat), not knowing it was enchanted, and survived.
King Arthur was impressed and sent Galahad, together with Parsifal and Boris, to the quest for the Holy Grail.
Alessandra on July 21st, 2008 10:55 am
I think my former comment got lost :(
A name starting with G I actually love is Galahad, and comes from King Arthur’s tales.
Galahad was Lancelot’s son, and became one of King Arthur’s knights.
According to the legend, the first time he went into the Round Table Room he took place on the Dangerous Seat (which had been enchanted by Merlin in order to allow only the One who would find the Grail to take place on it) and survived, so King Arthur decided to make Galahad join the quest for the Holy Grail, together with Parsifal and Boris

In my previous comment, I put in Fortunato and Montresor… but I forgot Luchesi. It means “one of Lucca.” I don’t think this qualifies as a “city” name.
Excuse any potential grammatical errors. My eyes are weary and I have not slept for 17 hours.

I know it doesn’t start with a G, but the name Jared Carlson has a nice ring to it. Even though Jared is a semi-popular name, it’s not like the major influx of Aidens, Braydens, Madisons, and Rileys.

Ok- I tried to check if this was listed but decided that it was not after a quick skim.
My husband and I love kids and wanted 8 or so. When I found out I was pregnant with the third we were told that this was it…I would not be able to have any other children.
My first son was named after my husband William, second after FIL Ruben, and then we found out we were having another boy.
As we knew this was it, we desired to really be thankful with God had given us. Husband’s family is Mexican from early settlement in San Antonio region, and speaks fluent Spanish, and lots of Spanglish. So we combined our languages to Spanglish and named our third son Trey Bendito…third blessing!
Guess what? Doctors were wrong. I became pregnant with Fourth child and was told that it was boy. I was committed to having Quatro…as awful as it could be…(at least story would be great)…But Fourth is a she…:)
No matter what name you decide may you cherish him always and forever!

Just my 2 cents — I think Jeanne Breault should win, if only for such a thoughtful, thorough response! We also had a ridiculously hard time deciding on names for our girls, but eventually it just clicked, you know? Anyway, much luck. And I vote for “Graham, ” “Gavin,” or “Griffin.” All strong manly names and not too common.
Congrats! I wish your wife a safe and speedy delivery.
Dana D. Berry on July 30th, 2008 11:37 am
Nash is a great name. My boys are Chad, Jack, and Vann. Had I been blessed with #4, he would have been Nash, a small town in Texas. Best of luck with the name!
Jason & Anna on July 30th, 2008 2:02 pm
Congrats!!!
We have just had our fifth child and named her Vision. We tended to like names that “say the meaning” that don’t need translation.
Many people go to a lot of work to find names that have good meanings for their children. That is good, but what good is it if those well meaning words of blessing are never spoken over them? Many children ask and are told about the meaning of their name once in a while if they are blessed that much. Compared to the child who is named that meaning (Praise, Promise, Blessing, Faith, Hope) who hears the meaning of their name everyday, several times over.
Just my 2 cents worth but I thought I would throw my hat in the ring too.
~Blessings
Alisha on July 30th, 2008 4:36 pm
I’m not sure if someone already listed this because I got about 1/2 way through the names and decided it was time to add mine.
I love the names:
Connor
Caden
Cadence
My favorite “G” name that I saw above was Greydon…I might use that one eventually (after Connor that is)
Maya on July 30th, 2008 4:56 pm
Bai (meaning White)
Bairn (meaning Child)
Bala (Young, Powerful)
Balder (Prince)
Ballint (Strong, Healthy)
Bandi (Courageous and Valiant Man)
Bane (Long Awaited Child)
Baqer (Man of Knowledge)
Barbod (Hero)
I hope those are good and you liked the meanings I looked up!

Angus Robertson on August 1st, 2008 6:43 am
How about Kessan. This is ancient celtic name meaning Spear. It is a great name that even when shortened sounds great Kess!
We named our son Kessan he is a real character and the name really siuts him. Even though it is unsual his school friends never tease for it and every says it is great mane.

Ohhh so many names!! hehe
Allison on August 1st, 2008 3:58 pm
Your other children’s names are very distinguished and almost presidential sounding. I think your third child should have an equally distinguished name.
Some suggestions:
1. Quincy
2. Jefferson (though you’d have to decide if having Franklin and Jefferson would be a problem for you)
3. Langston (after poet Langston Hughes, since Emerson is a poetic name)
4. Hayden (because the other two children’s names end in “n” as well)
5. Addison
6. Bastian
7. Barrett
8. Brice
9. Crispin (My friend had a brother named Crispin and I always loved this name!)
10. Grady
11. Griffin
Anyway, no matter what you pick you just have to make sure it fits the baby and that you both and your wife love it! Good luck and congratulations!

I like the name Garrick. I like Gavin but it’s getting kind of popular. There’s Grant, sounds very grown up.
Good luck and Congratulations! (We have 4 boys and 1 girl. Lucas, Cory, Cody, Logan and Mary-Grace. )

How about Gunderson…strong sounding, different, a little old school and not one of those names you can make a sing-song nick name of.
Gerrard is another nice name as well.
Good Luck!

Bunk if it’s a boy;
Bunkessa if it’s a girl.
Seems easy and intuitively obvious to the casual observer.

Okay, sticking with the authorial names theme, I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest a few in a similar vein:
Thoreau
Tennyson
Wharton
They should all be easy to pronounce when seen on paper, though he may have to spell them out for people.
Congrats!
Stephanie on August 16th, 2008 2:29 am
Hello Dane,
Congrats on b-boy #3. Three is a charm right?
There are many names that I like, but for some reason these (2) in particular are sticking. Hope you and the wifey like them as well.
1. Gentry
2. Garryn (sounds like) Darren

Joshua on August 16th, 2008 5:13 pm
Congrats! My suggestion for your Son’s name is unique, uncommon but well known at the same time, easy to say, full of nick names such as Ab, and it is Abraham.

Magda on August 20th, 2008 3:02 am
Hi
If I ever have a boy, I will call him Gabriel. It’s completely international (I’m portuguese) and sounds great. I cannot name a boy Gustav, but if you have the choice, it’s a beautiful strong scandinavian name (I think it means king or warrior).
I’ll try to come up with more names. In any case, congratulations!
