Opinions needed, please!

[Amherst1994]

I just found out today that I am having a little boy! I am SO thrilled! My boyfriend and I had agreed on a name for a girl, but we seem to be having some issues agreeing on a name for our little man. I want Atticus but he is 100% opposed (oh well..). Here is our list of names we agreed on:

Julian
Rhett
Cade
Miles (or Myles)
Elias

My boyfriend's last name is Leaning. I'm in love with kind of old timey, not so popular names. I don't like totally out there names, just something that's classic and different. I would absolutely LOVE opinions and suggestions on some other names. Thanks everybody!!

Oh I love Atticus! I really like Elias and Julian, too.

Other suggestions:
Ezra
Silas
Jude
Sebastian
Rufus
Felix
Henry
Harvey
Chester
Theodore

I love Julian & Elias - they actually sound quite nice together: "Julian Elias"

 

[Buffyx]

Julian! Then Miles

 

[cupcakekate]

Elias

 

[alibaba24]

Julian

Thanks so much for the suggestions! As of right now we are definitely torn between Julian and Elias. We love Henry as well, but even that is getting to be a little common for me. My mother named me Emma and when I was born my name was number 86...but now everybody is Emma! So I am definitely trying to go a little more uncommon for my baby!

Emma and Henry... Once Upon A Time, anyone?


I like Julian and Elias together, as someone else mentioned! Julian Elias Leaning is a wonderful name!

I really like Miles (Julian is tainted for me though by someone I used to know - strange how that can happen isn't it?)

We're having a girl but before we knew husband added Isaac to the boy list and it grew on me.

I like Miles, or Milo

 

[mummyruston]

Miles!!!

So my OH came to me with a couple of other names he likes and I think they're cute and will probably just settle because so far we haven't disagreed about these ones too much. OH likes:

Colton
Dawson

He is also still in love with Elias which I'm ok with, but I actually like these two better! Thoughts?

Thanks for all the input, ladies!

I love Dawson! It's lovely although I think kids will shorten it to Daw my sons called Dante and he gets called Darnt! If you don't mind then go for it! Colton shortened to Colt is a cool nn though! Xx

How about Earl, Eliot, Everett or Ernest? From your choices I like Elias best. Not 100% certain but I think Rhett may be a disease or syndrome of some kind.
