Name That Baby!

C.S. asks from Minneapolis, MN

Baby is due two months from now and I am struggling to come up with a decent list of boy names (not sure it is a boy, but I've got girls names down). If I throw out some naming parameters will you throw out some name suggestions? Here is what I'm trying to find:

- Can't begin with A or P due to initials, or S due to too many S's. Middle name is going to be Stone and last name is Sonda.
- Can't end with the letter A or S or X or CE or SE or TH or SH or SON due to last name.
- Would prefer a name not in the current top 50.
- No trendy names like Braden/Jaden/Kaden/Aiden
- I think a name that ends in O would be fun.
- Baby names used recently by friends, family or our other child and so are off the list: Oliver, Oscar, Gabriel, Eli, Owen, William, Theodore, Henry, Jack

Thanks!

So What Happened?

Thanks, moms, for all of the great suggestions! Baby's birth is still two months away so I don't know the final decision yet as we don't know the gender, and even if it's a boy, I'll probably go in with a list of four or five names and see what the babe looks like and what feels right before deciding. But on the list of contenders at this point are: Mitchell, Leo, Milo, Carter, Caleb, Levi, Theo, Elliott, Matteo.

Sounds like you have put a lot of restrictions on the first name, what it can't start with or end with. LOL. Honestly I don't understand why but seriously pick a name no matter what it starts/ends with and go with it.

It might be weird, but for some reason the first thing that popped into my head after reading this was "Oslo". I don't even know if it's been used as a name, but it seemed kind of cool. Oslo Stone Sonda. You could use the nickname Ozzie.

Otherwise, how about Vito? I know two little boys (brothers) named Vinnie and Vito. They are so cute.

How about Xavier, Hugo, Leo, Beau, Theo, Marco, or Nikko. At first I couldn't figure out why you didn't want a first name with the letter "a", LOL I am a little slow today. I finially got it. =) Good Luck!

Just wanted to say that I think Stone is a very good and unusual first name. I'm sure you've thought of that, but just wanted to put in my vote.

I am floored to see the multitude of name suggestions here. So different, many interesting, etc.

I don't know how you pronounce your last name, but figuring it might be SONN-da, (like Honda), I figured Carson and Harrison sound more like "SUN" than "SONN" so a -son at the end of a first name could work!

I didn't check the top 50 list but here are some possibilities: Jacob, Joseph, Cameron, Logan, Cody, Brady, Tyrell, Morgan, Robert, John, David, Michael, Victor, Brian, and Wade. You can always look into your family history or that of your husband and search for a name.

Good luck with your choice. I think Stone is a fabulous middle name :)
