Choosing names.

One of my favourite things about having a baby is choosing a name. Now that we know the sex I really want to name the baby and give it a bit more of an identity.

So here are the top 100 names from Australia in 2008.

Help us pick a name:

Huggies top 100 boys names.

All our boys names are in here so maybe it is time to go a bit out there and get something that is unusual.

Our boys names are:

Daniel John.
Samuel Joseph
Thomas Peter
Christopher Michael.

How about Benedict Paul...or even Paul Benedict! I love the idea of using the Holy Father's name. You could call him "Ben".

I like Dominic Ambrose. Or, Benedict Anselm.

Hi Therese,

My contribution to a name for your sweet little boy is Isaac Noah or Noah Isaac. Another way to spell Isaac is Izak.

Good luck in chosing the best name you that suits your family.

Joshua James

This gives you two biblical names.

Joshua is of course Our Lord's name

and James, a saint name, is the name of two Apostles.

Now I see Maddy's contribution, Aaron James would work well too!

Of what you have listed, I love Thomas Peter. We were thinking about Thomas Alexander if Alexandra had been a boy...

My favourite would be Lucas (Luke), Joshua and Noah.

I think his name should be Eamon because there just aren't too many out there. It's after St Edmund, and I believe a famous Australian Olympic swimmer is named Eamon Sullivan. Eamon James sounds nice, you could call him EJ. Okay, that's my 2 cents :)

The names I listed are our boys that have been born. I just re read it and I see that it isn't clear.

Aubrey said...

We've got a Noah Samuel and an Isaiah Joseph, so you bet I'm partial to those names! :)

There are so many boy names that I love.

Have fun!

I havn't commented here before but when I saw this post I had to. I love choosing baby names.
We have 4 sons and 2 of them have similar names to yours. We have
*Christopher Mark
*William James (he was a premmie baby and quite ILL so I wanted him to have a 'strong' name)
*Samuel Job
and
*Jack Louis
I agree that Isaiah or Noah are great names.

Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research.
