Q: Still Can't Choose a Boy's Name!!!

Ok, i'm due in march and still can't decide, well, agree really on a name. (it's a boy by the way). I'm italian and my fiance is all sorts of things, mainly a mut! Haha. Anyways, I like the name preston but he thinks that if he has that name kids are going to pick on him in school. Maybe it was just my school, but I never heard or had anyone pick on anyone for their name, now their clothes yes, but not for their names.

To give you some good ideas for names, the last name is hobbs. I liked preston michael hobbs. I liked some italian names, but they just don't mesh well with his last name.

Any other good ideas? If it were a girl, I would've already had a name!!! Smile I told him, if he doesn't come up with a better one, or if we don't agree i'm picking preston and too bad what him or anyone else thinks!! Haha....Help!!!

I like preston michael. I think that it goes together very well. Men usually want to name them something manly. It made me crazy when I was choosing, too! Best of luck!

I agree with your fiance. Preston sounds like a nerd's name.

Re:
Hi there!
Congrats on your little boy! I love the name preston for a boy, too - but my boyfriend hates it! (we're not currently pregnant - but we always seem to get into baby name discussions!) what do you think of the name peyton? I think peyton michael sounds really nice. Smile

Oh I love the name Preston! It's adorable! Definitely do that one. I don't think he will be picked on at all. Another name I love for a boy is Aiden, but that was number three on the list of popular baby boy names for last year... so I don't know if you would want to go with something quite so popular. Good luck!

I don't like Preston, either, but don't let that change your opinion. It sounds like a preppy, country club boys name. I must admit, I do like the whole name Preston Michael Hobbs...sounds good. I work in schools and rarely have I heard anyone get picked on for their name. However, I have worked in schools with a large percentage of minorities who have different names. If it does happen, the kids are very good and hiding their teasing.

There are so many boys names I don't like, I am also having a difficult time coming up with a boys name. Coming up with one that my husband and I both agree on is extremely difficult. Luckily we have time as I am due in July.
