Boy name CP

We are back to the drawing board with our boy name. (Yes, I know we have more than enough time.) I *thought* we were settled on Edward David after DH and my dad, but DH decided he doesn't want his son to have the same name as every other male in his family. I'm completely okay with this because I'm not a huge fan of Edward. lol We have narrowed it down to these.

MN will be Edward, David, or Paul. All family names. Thanks ladies!

ETA: DD1 and DD2 are Allyson and Aubrey. If this one is a girl, she will be Natalie.

Boy name?

  • Logan (33.3%)
  • Jacob (29.2%)
  • Rhett (DH's pick) (37.5%)
  • Total Votes: 72

I would choose Rhett first only if it were a short form for Everett. Otherwise, my order is Jacob, Logan, Rhett. (Jacob and Logan are almost a tie.)

I like Rhett as a NN for Everett. I do also like Rhett as a stand alone but, prefer Everett.

Thanks ladies! I prefer Everett, but cannot get DH on board. He is set on Rhett as a stand alone. We love all three, but I think I love Logan the most. lol

Rhett has really grown on me. I think because of HannahO's cute little guy. Your other two names are good, but I think Rhett takes the edge. 

Also, if you went with Jacob, I wouldn't choose Edward as the mn. ;) 
I'm getting so big!

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

Do you think you could get DH to agree to Everett on the condition that you call him Rhett right away? That way, your husband gets Rhett, but your son gets the option of going by Everett in his professional life, if he so chooses.

He side eyes Everett. Idk what it is that he doesn't like, but he just hates the name. lol It's on the list because he loves it so much and it's growing on me. lol baby names are so hard. Especially when DH is so picky.

hahahah this has been made clear! I'm not a Twilight fan, but this would make me look like a "Twihard" and I'm not interested in that. haha Jacob would definitely be paired with one of the other two. lol

I really like Rhett, but I think Logan David is a great name (especially since Logan is your favorite).  Rhett just doesn't have the same ring as Logan does with the middle name options.

Logan David is my favorite combination and it goes with our last name! I think Logan has the best flow with our last name (Norcross). DH thinks Rhett is best, but I think he's being biased. Rhett does appear to be winning on this board, though! lol

Rhett is like a breath of fresh air next to the other two names on your list (no offense).  I think it sounds good with your ln too.

My husband is going to love you ladies.... lol I think I'm going to push for Rhett as a nn. I'm not a huge fan of one syllable names and I think that's why I'm having a hard time falling in love with Rhett as a stand alone name.
