Earthy/outdoorsy baby boy name suggestions?

[Uliston]

Just looking for any suggestions for baby boy names. We have a boy coming in September and we can't find a name we like. Our girls have kind of earthy names, so we'd kind of like to follow suit with the boy.

[Iceaxe]

If I were you I would go with SHANE..... awesome name :2thumbs:

I don't know about earthy.... but the dude will be a majar babe magnet :mrgreen:

Oh yeah..... and anyone naming their kid SHANE gets a free lifetime membership to Climb-Utah.com..... :nod:

It also sounds like the name of some medieval warrior.
I can just see it now.

How about "Kinky?" As in Kinky Friedman from the Lonestar state!

Whatever you do please don't EVER give you kid a freak spelling of a common word/name. :nono:

If you do the poor kid will have to go through life spelling his name every time he pronounces it.

Oh I know. I'd never give MY kid a freak spelling of a common name,
but I don't have any reservations about recommending random internet people to do so :naughty: :haha:

While we're at it, why don't you just name your boy "aerth" or "urth" it doesn't get much more earthy than that

I was gonna say SHANE as well, first earthy thing came to my mind.

PS: If I thought about it, do I get a free membership too? :naughty:

Membership delivered when I'm puffing on a cigar, looking at pictures of Shane. :2thumbs:

I like Erf better. It still pays homage to the hippie brethren and is spelled just as it sounds.

I once had a friend whose brother and sister were named Spice and Wilderness.

Okay, how about Richard? Shortens easily to Dick. Dick is always cool. Chicks love Dick. Everybody wants Dick. In fact, I had a great uncle named Dick Spray.

No, I am not kidding. No, really.

[DickHead]

I see lots of names that are going to get some poor kids ass kicked on the playground, one day....
We all forget kids are mean, cruel, and vicious little animals. Name your kid what you want, but remember, he's the one that's gotta live with it.....

DITTO

A small Indian brave walks up to his grandfather and asks: "Grandfather, how do we Indians get our names?"

"Well my son, after the medicine man deliverers the baby, he looks out of the tee-pee window. Whatever he sees is the name of the baby. For instance, your father was born right at sunrise. Thus his name is Rising Sun. When your sister was born, the medicine man saw a deer running through camp. Thus her name is Running Deer."

"Oh," said the boy.

"Why do you ask Two Dogs ****ing ?"

__________

A guy walked into a pub and immediately noticed a young lady at the bar on her own. After a couple of drinks he decided to offer her a drink and make small talk. She accepted.

"What's your name?" he asked her.

"Carmen," she replied.

"That's a nice name. Did your mother or father name you that?"

"Neither. I changed my name when I was eighteen from Sharon to Carmen."

"Why did you do that?" he asked.

"Well," she explained, "I like men and I like cars, so that is how I got my name. What's your name?"

"Beerpussy," the man replied.

My wife is due in October and she is set on Cohen. I'll fly Shane by her and see how she reacts.

[moabfool]

Back in my tree hugger days I wanted to give my kids middle names that were National Forests. Inyo, Ashley, Kaibab, Tsongas, etc.... I planned to pass over Wasatch and Cache because they're Utah names (I think I could slide Ashley under the radar), and Teton because it means...well you know what it means. Fish Lake? Well that's just dumb. Then I moved to Brooklyn....

Come to think of it, if you lived far enough away from Utah, Cache would be a cool name for a boy.

[DirkHammergate]

Come to think of it, if you lived far enough away from Utah, Cache would be a cool name for a boy.

If theHammer has a 3rd boy (highly unlikely) its along the same vane with a slight change of spelling, in honor of one of the coolest men to ever live and lived well, well, it more salty than earthy.....

I like the name Cash, that would have been the name of my 3rd boy, I mean, you could name him Sue if you want to and he could say "HOW DO YOU DO??"

[DirkHammergate]

Cache would be a cool name for a boy.

One look at that boys drivers liscense and he's getting a full cavity search. Cache? OK, where is your weed? We can do this the EZ way or you can drop your pants.

Go with Cash, he'll be tough, principled, and a noble rebel.

I know a guy, Dusty Rhoads, cant for get his 'brother' Rocky Rhodes, but Dusty would be my pick, off the top of my head. Maybe Bridger?

I like Bridger. I was thinking more along the lines of the Wild West type names. I've got a really good friend who is among the "real macho men" type and his name is Chance. It's his name and how he lives his life. :haha: Some other more western type names could be:

Jackson
Wyatt
Houston or Austin (yes - like the cities)
Porter

You've really got to think of the welfare of the child. Too many people are naming their kids for their own selfish reasons, just to stand out.

Rule 1-- Make it easy to pronounce when read from the classroom list. If not, immediate nicknames form.

Rule 2-- Easy to spell. Don't take the name "Bo" and turn it into Beaux. Warning, life of hell ahead.

Rule 3-- Think of what they'll be called in their adult life. Child names are only cute until age 12. Then they've got 60+ years ahead of them AFTER that age, being screwed with a stupid name you picked out for your little baby.

Too many people (meaning parents) want to "stick out" or have their baby's name be noticed. Unfortunately, the pleasure does not pass on to the child.

I said Cache, not Stash. :haha: Nobody would ever believe the kid was really named Stash. Everybody would think it was his nickname and his locker would always get the double sniff from the police dog.

Do I detect some bitterness here? Sombeech must've seemed like such a cute name for a baby, yet you've been saddled with it into adulthood. Oh the shame. :lol8:

Seriously, Sombeech is right. I see books of "baby names" and they drive me crazy. Unless infant mortality in your area is over 20% there is no such thing as a "baby name," only adult names given to infants.

I hate the way we name children in our society without knowing anything about them. You see a 300lb guy and his friends call him "tiny," there's a good reason for it. A bald guy named "Curly" is good too. Those names were earned. But we just can't wait to name a baby. 30 seconds after it pops out, "Oh, you're Johnny...." It means (or meant) something to someone a long time ago, but not now, not to me. A 'christian' name is nothing more than an arbitrarily designated non-descriptive moniker.

[icthys]

Cache would be a cool name for a boy.

My brothers name is Cache, spelled the same also.

I like these names and even know these people:

River
Canyon
Rio
Birch


Local names:

Bridger
Cache
Hunter
Jackson (don't spell it Jaxon please!)
Logan

Or something after a really cool peak?

I agree about keeping the spelling normalish. After living here, I've noticed lots of botched versions of spellings.

[jumar]

I was thinking of Jackson if we have a son, but too many people I know beat me to it.

I have some friends in Georgia that named their son Aspen Wilder. Oh that poor boy getting his butt kicked all of his school years and then having to say "Hi I'm Aspen" as an adult in Georgia of all places.

When I was going to collage I used to work with a guy who's last name "Fishe". He named his daughter "Goldie".... no lie.... yes, this was a job with your name on the pocket....

I really liked the name "Dusty" for a girl..... but no way in hell was I going to name my daughter "Dusty Burrows". Just about any other last name and my daughter would have been Dusty. Then she wouldn't have needed a stage name to become a stripper :lol8:

[Uliston]

Thanks for your input everyone. I appreciate all the ideas. Now I'll float the top few past the wife and see what happens.

[Shan]

Ok, one more - Brooks.

[rock_ski_cowboy]

Ok speaking of awkward names and Cash.

My dad had a business associate (Stock Broker) named Cash Coyne. Parents were into, er, money?

My roommate met a couple of siblings in "urban" Kansas City named

Lemonjelo and Oranjelo (accent the second syllable of each)


poor kids, born when Bill Cosby was at his peak...
