Well, in October, we are expecting our 2nd child. Right now, we have 2 names narrowed down. One my wife likes, and the other I like. My wife posted a poll on one of her websites to see what others thought of the names, so I figured I'd try it here (since it didn't go my way on her's ).

Hayden?

 

That's what the response will whenever you or your kid says his name.

If you're going to use an Irish name, then at least use one of the traditional spellings which is Aidan or Aiden.

 

BTW, Aiden is becoming a fastly popular boy's name (you can blame Sex in the City for that), so if you're trying to give him a unique, uncommon name, well you're actually not.

 

As for Easton, what is this kid? A baseball bat? Can we add a "neither" option to this poll?

 

If I must choose, go with Aiden (Aidan), but spell it right. Spelling it "Ayden" makes me want to pronounce it "eye-den." Or you could just throw both out the window and call the kid "Atticus" which is beyond awesome.

One of my son's best friends is named Easton. And BTW, he's a great baseball player! :lol:

End of story.

I think that you should namer th7e child hatever yopu a1nd your wife decide on. I tend to agree with Mcpapa though......"What your wife likes"...I think that he is referring to the old saying..."if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy". :sssh::lol: Congrats on the baby boy :thumb:.

 

BTW, as for Easton and the baseball reference, I grew up in an era of real baseball bats....wooden ones! We didn't use those "sissy" aluminum bats". :popcorn::lol: Easton also made avery good arrow, so if that name he may grow up to be a good archer/bowhunter one day.:thumb:

How about John?That's a cool name especially if He is going to be born in October...

I like Easton if its a middle name.

Ayden is a English boy name. The meaning of the name is `Fiery` Aydan,Ayden,Aydon Ayden appears In 2007`s top-1000 name list at rank 102.. 2007 was a `top year` for the name Ayden. (Based on 128 years of name history) In that year it ranked #102. The last time Ayden appeared among the most common names was In 1999. Our records go back to 1880 Y

 

The boy's name Easton \e(a)-ston, eas-ton\ is pronounced EES-tun. It is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "east settlement". Also possibly (Old English) "island of stones; magical power; noble power". Baby names that sound like Easton are Eston, Aston, Jeston and Weston. Other similar baby names are Eaton, Eatton, Elston and Gaston. Easton is a very rare male first name and a very popular surname.

I believe that Easton. PA is the hometown of Larry Holmes. Easton, MD is a town on Maryland's Eastern Shore; we drove through it when we visited my grandparents when I was a tyke.

This poll will not persuade us one way or the other. I was just curious to see the results from a predominately male website to that of a female one.

Ayden for sure.

Nees, when you say "one of her websites", what are we talking about?

This poll will not persuade us one way or the other.

 

I understand... I was just having some fun with it and meant no harm or critisizm at all. :thumb:

Ayden of the two.
