Baby Names

[etmama]

I'm back and still need name help! More of what to do now?

Sooo... The choice is now between Caleb and Luke. Any thoughts on the popularity of the name Caleb? It seems to be rising in popularity and we want a less common name, I don't want to pick one that will spike to the top in the next couple years.

My husband has had Luke in his head for him this whole time and it just isn't sticking for me. I seem to be stuck on 2 syllable names.
He has always thought of him as Luke (he's 3 weeks old now) even though we have been thinking about several different names. That could be because it has always been in the top 2 choices though.

I'm wondering, should I go with my husband since he is more firm on a name than I am? I've been searching and searching and just don't have a name stuck to him like my husband does with Luke. But do have a few I really like. My husband always agrees with my choices, but then I end up talking myself out of them...

I'll put a pic of him in my avatar and see what you all think he looks like. I'd love to hear views on going with the husband and popularity of the names as well!

I like both Luke and Caleb. If your hubby has his heart set on Luke though and you have no major objections I would go with Luke.

 

[GolfingMom]

How about Luca? Close to Luke and it's 2 syllables...
Luke is quite popular here. Caleb not so much.

 

[etmama]

No major objections, just not my favorite. He will go with whatever name I choose (I'm actually supposed to pick this one as he picked the last). He says he likes the other names and would be for them if that was what I wanted (like Caleb, Brendan, and a few others I mentioned to him), but that Luke is his favorite. He's very giving and I wish he would put his foot down and say this is what I like, I don't like the other choices! Instead he thinks about it, and a better part of the time, says he likes the name I mention and that we should name him that. But if I ask, Luke is always his favorite. That's where we're at.

I added the picture to my profile of the baby.

If your hubby is stuck on the name Luke and you don't just hate it, then I'd go with it. That's pretty much how my (soon to be ex) husband and I named our daughter.

I looooooooooove the name Caleb

 

[FaithLoveHope9]

I can't see the picture! I still like Luke, not a fan of Lucas. How about Luke Caleb?

I added it, but for some reason it's not coming up! I thought maybe it just needed time, but it's not working. Any ideas??

I like Luke Caleb, but his middle name is already chosen. It's going to be David after my husband. So it would be Luke David or Caleb David. We're also maybe considering Cameron David...

Thanks everyone for your replies! It really does help!

 

[CrystalBrooke]

I love the name Cameron..for a girl.

My vote is still Luke..you could always give him 3 names..Luke Caleb David..or however you want to mix it up

I didn't realise you were going through that, I hope that you and your beautiful daughter are ok, and I will be praying for you.

 

[llghoney]

Oooo I like Cameron David!

 

[divineelements]

Me too. I like Cameron David as well.
