Names???

[DoulaMama]

I voted for Masen but I have to agree with Z...IMO it's too close to your hubby's name. I like Josiah next Then Benjamin.

My kids love to watch a programme on TV called 'Grandpa in my Pocket' and the boy's name in it is Jason Mason!! I would probably choose Josiah if you have a close friend with a son called Banjamin and I wouldn't want the name to rhyme with DH's (I liked Rowan but my DH is Owen and that was too close for me!) but they're all lovely if none of those reasons bothers you!

Ds2 loves that show!
Jasen Masen does sound pretty cool .

I like Benjamin, but it seems very common right now, (I try to choose names that are traditional yet unusual...). I really like Josiah as well, although it would be a bit too biblical for my likes...mmh, Masen - I havent really heard of, would probably spell it Mason like pp said....

I really like Cilllian (from the Irish names list)

I voted for Josiah because it's unique and not common, but everyone knows of it, this is why I picked Quinten for DS1's name because it wasn't a weird name, just not common, and he loves it He proudly tells everyone "I'm Quinten" and he loves drawing Q's!!

Any more votes out there for a name?? I need all the help I can get!

[love-my-kids]

I like Masen the best!

Thanks for all the input ladies!!
As of Monday I believe this baby has a name!
And my friend did not think it too weird that we might like to use Benjamin...in fact she loved the idea!
So for now we have a name and we aren't telling anyone until he is here....our one surprise!

i adore Josiah

Josiah. But I'd call him Joa. I think it's just different enough that he wouldn't be grouped in with the very common names, but not crazy sounding.
my 2 cents though. I'm picky about names.
Ben is classic though...

They are all good names but...

if you picked Masen your older kids may be jealous that they didn't get a name like their dads. We know someone who has 3 boys and the last one was named after the dad because they only had a girls name picked. The older kids beat up on the youngest.

Don't worry to much about a friend with a child that has the same name. You never know if you will be friends in the future but you will find a way to work around the name if you are friends for life. If you really love Benjamin then use it.
