Lucifer Oh, I guess it’s IN the Bible, but not FROM the Bible

Axton. But if you use it, I’ll have to kill you because it’s mine… all mine!

Seriously though, I have grandsons named Liam and Rees. They are not Biblical names.

Look up names with, like Greek origin – they tend to be cool, especially if they reference a diety who stands for something you like.

And Celtic-origin ones, and other neat cultures.

Or first names of awesome old authors, or even a non-silly-sounding last name.

the_force's avatar

@ladytmerie very funny, maybe we’ll name him Obi-Wan

Dutchess12's avatar

Seventh—um, yeah, you’re right…Shemp Shamp would be better.

My son’s name is Ari (pronounced “Are-e”) I choose it as in Hebrew it means “the lion” (he was born in August) and in Indonesia where we lived it meant “the little brother with much courage that brings the community together”. I liked those meanings.

Do you have any family surnames in your family tree that work well with your last name? I’m of the when in doubt, name them John (Family Surname) (Last Name) because J. (family surname) (Last Name) looks nice on stationery or on the door of something. Or you could call him “Jack.”

Name him after geography: Dallas, Tyler, Austin, Hudson, Camden, River, Nile, Shannon, Tracy, Carmine, Jordan, Calder, Everest, Winston

Or after a color: Cobalt, Royal, Umber, Forest, Malachite, Jasper

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/262280/new_baby_name_ideas_based_on_colors_pg2.html?cat=25

Or a last name, especially one that means something to you or your family: Jefferson, Hunter, Taylor, Sagan, Mendel, Darwin, Dawkin, Blaise, Cooper. Just don’t do what a branch of our family did: the first son in each generation was named the family name backwards. The result was Nebelow Woleben, the last one of whom (my mother’s cousin) died childless (my mother claims it was on purpose).

J.P.Morgan- but you’ll need to give him an ascot.

Mohammed, Vishnu, Ishkabibble, Slartibartfast, Biggus Dickus, and AstroChuck.

@AstroChuck
I think the latin one is prfect for a boy. Reminds me of a guy I used to know named Richard Long. He just had a swagger at every role call. “Long…Dick?” “Dick Long?’

aviona's avatar

Raja/Rajan, Jade (generally a girl’s name, but I think it could work for a guy), Remi, Canyon (I know someone with this name!), Velton (also know someone)

Great ideas here

casheroo's avatar

you could use my son’s name! His name is Cash. :)

galileogirl's avatar

Barack, that will be very popular this year
Aig, almost nobody will have that name
Washington, for the president, the city. the state or Denzell, my fav actor
Denzell, ditto
Eagle, if you are into conservation
Greene, if you are green
Cash, as an incentive
Ynot, to give him an easy answer to life’s questions
Sue, if you want him to come looking for you someday
Chan, Khoury, Patel, Ivanov, Haddad, Cohen, Jimenez, Huber,Nielsen, DuBois. Kelly, Costa, Carter, for an international flavor

Odin (Nordic, name of the head honcho of their pantheon. Name of a great-uncle of mine. Pronounced by members of my family like “oh-dean”)

Wyatt (old English… coolness factor of Wyatt Erp… (Tombstone, awesome movie)).
