I love the name Samuel, it was one of our choices. I think they are all rally cute choices. I also really like Noah and Isaiah. Jacob may be the number one name, many years it is.
Noah
Samuel "Sam"
Elijah "Eli"
Jonah
Jacob
Isaiah
We need help picking out a name for our baby boy who will arrive in February.
Please comment on the names in the poll. What is your favorite? Least favorite? Why do you like/dislike a name.
You will not hurt our feelings--we want complete honesty.
Thanks in advance!
I picked Noah, it's classic yet not too common. I like Sam but not Samuel. I'm not a fan of nicknames so both of my kids have names that you can't shorten, lol. Jacob was #2 for us with ds but MIL starting calling him Jake before he was even here...that name changed real fast, ROFL!!!
I voted for Elijah, just sounds cute! And it sounds pretty good with Hannah too. Good luck on your name choice!

I love Isaiah (can you tell?) but also love the name Noah (that was our other option that we had for Isaiah's name). Either way they go well with Hannah![]()
Good luck!

I voted for Samuel, but I really like all of the names. I guess my 2nd choice would be Noah.

Dawson, age 10
Jackson, age 4
I voted Jonah. All of those names are wonderful, but the others are more popular or are quickly gaining popularity. I like names that are traditional but still not overused. Jonah is perfect!
I voted for Jacob!
I voted for Eli but I love Jonah and Noah too. Tough choices!
I voted Noah, but they are all very nice names. Well all but Jacob. I absolutely do NOT like that name, LoL. I have worked with kids for 10 years and every Jacob I have worked with has been a terror! I hear that name and get chills. So I would personally steer clear of that name. Good luck. For me choosing a name is so hard!

I voted for Samuel, but I like all of your names except Jonah & Noah. Jonah just makes me think of that song from Sunday School (the whale did, the whale did, the whale did, the whale did, the whale did swallow Jo-Jo-Jonah) and I once knew a Noah who was a complete jerk, so I've never liked that name.
I voted for Noah. It is actually a name I suggested for DS but DH didn't really like it. I also love the name Samuel and Jacob (on of our choices too).

Jonah - not so common and its a neat name
Jacob - Always liked the name Jacob

My pick is for Noah. I like that name.
One that I have wanted since high school is Anthony, I love that name!!
Now, you may ask why didn't we use it? Good question, cause my cousin used it not 4 months b4 Cole was born, NOW here is the stinky part......they call him A.J.!!! I have never ONCE heard him called Anthony...sigh...oh well I really like Cole, it fits him perfectly...lol
Good Luck, It's hard to decide!
I voted for Samuel.
Honestly, I hate the name Jonah... (You wanted honest, right? lol)
It sounds nice, but it's got one heck of a stigma attached to it. Maybe this is just in Europe (I'm English), but I remember as a child whenever someone was bad luck (example, we were winning in a game and someone joined us and we started losing) we'd say "You're a Jonah". Tom has a friend called Jonah and it makes me wince whenever I hear it...
Do a google search for "Jonah Bad Luck" and see what you get...
*Hightlighted text from the below quote* His misadventure has given our language the word 'Jonah,' meaning a person who carries a jinx, one who will bring bad luck to any enterprise.
Personally, I couldn't saddle a child with thatJONAH - "Jonah, one of the most celebrated of the Old Testament prophets, earned his fame just as he did God's disfavor by disobeying the Deity. As punishment, he was thrown overboard during a great storm at sea and wound up, in the words of Ira Gershwin's lyrics for 'Porgy and Bess,' 'in the belly of the whale.' After three days in stygian darkness, he was regurgitated, presumably having learned his lesson. His misadventure has given our language the word 'Jonah,' meaning a person who carries a jinx, one who will bring bad luck to any enterprise. Appropriately enough, the name Jonah in the original Hebrew Yohnah meant 'the moaning one." From the "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, New York, 1977, 1988).![]()

Good point! I had not thought of that. Thank you!Originally Posted by Pet~Tom&Alex'sMama
Well, I love the name Jonah!! I almost named Logan that. Meanings mean nothing to me, if you like a name...you should use it.
It's all about personal preference.![]()
