Another Baby Name Thread

What do you girls think about

Leander

Liam

Roman 

Landon/Landyn

Any help narrowing down would be great. I've got tough skin, so don't worry about offending me. Liam is getting almost too popular for my taste. I love Leander and Roman. Landon is my husbands pick. Thanks!

Roman is awesome.

Liam is over-used.

No idea what Leander is.

Landon is fine. Adding a y makes zero since and makes it look less like a male name.

I agree with 99% of this.
I like Landon over Roman though. For the love of God, please do not add a Y to Landon.

Haha! yeah, I love Leander. I can't help it! I have a great uncle name ander, and the Lee syllable adds something I just really like. It means Lion Man. There is a greek myth where Leander falls in love with Hero, a priestess of aphrodite, who lives on the shores of the river styx. He swims to her every night. Of course, like most greek myths, it ends in tragedy. He drowns and she throws herself in too.

Thanks for helping. :)

For a boy, I don't really Leander, because my daughter is Leanne. And Landyn with a y makes me think it is for a girl too. I do like Liam and Landon for a boy.

Leander makes me think of LeAnn Rimes which makes me want to set things on fire, but I like Roman and Liam.

Leander makes me think of meander or oleander.

I like the other three - agree with PPs about not using a "y" in Landon.



I love my boys! (DS, Furbaby, and DH)

Not a fan of Leander at all.  It sounds too much like Leann.  Not a name I'd pin on my son.  

Liam is nice, but popular.

Roman - NMS and makes me think soap opera.

Of these, I like Landon the most, but please, for the love of all that is holy, do not spell it Landyn.

If you want to name him after your uncle, you could do "Anderson".

Oh my god, I love Leander.  USE IT. I'm a total sucker for mythology names.

Liam is overdone.

Roman is good.

I really dislike Landon and hate Landyn even more!  Don't add Ys in random places.

I love Liam, but it's definitely in the top 3-5 most popular names right now. I don't love any of the other names. Roman is cute, but it makes me think of Real Housewives of Miami.

Holy Mole Russian, Calm down. You put question marks up near the name, so I explained why it was on the list. I was asking for your opinion, not for your judgment. For some people, a story, family connection or meaning behind the name can make all the difference. Chances are, I probably don't agree with all of your name options either but that doesn't make your names 'horrible.' It's just a matter of taste, hun.

 I really appreciate all the advice and opinions. I agree with the "Y" rule, overall, and defiantly with the name Landon. Roman is on top of my list now, but I still have 5 months to mull it over. Thanks for being such helpful, positive cheery ladies!

Leander is horrible.

Liam and Landon no rogue y... For the love of God are super trendy right now.

Roman is the only one I like.

I've heard of Leander but I too hear it and think "Oleander" which is a poison flower or "Lysander" which is Shakespeare but not a name I'd pick.  I'd skip it.  Personally, I like the name Lee.  Have you thought of Lee Ander  LN?  That may work.

Roman is okay.  Liam is a name I liked a lot until it splooged all over the name lists so it's too popular for my taste, but if you like it, it's not a bad name at all.

Landon (no Y please) makes me think of Michael Landon from Little House/Highway to Heaven.  It's okay but NMS.
