first name, a middle name, and your family or last name. Of course, there are plenty of parents who give their children more than one middle name, or none at all. Whatever you choose for your son, it's always a good idea to make sure the names flow well together as a group, and that the initials don't spell out something that might embarrass you or your child in the future! It may sound like common sense, but making sure you run through these considerations with your favorite names will help you feel more confident in finding the perfect name for your little one. Shared Names Choosing a family name for your baby boy is still a common tradition, but there are multiple ways to go about it. In some families, the son (usually the first child) has the exact same name as the father, with the addition of a "Jr." (meaning junior) suffix at the end. If this extends beyond the original father and son, you typically use Roman numerals (II, III, IV, V, etc.) to depict this designation. In other families, name sharing may be less traditional. Some parents will name their son the same first name as the father, but call the son by their more unique middle name to help differentiate between the two. Or some families use different names completely, but choose ones that have similar meanings or sounds to honor the original name. When it comes to sharing names, be sure to consider the most famous and historical figures who will share your son's name. Are they individuals you want your son to be associated with? Whether you plan for it or not, the association with a famous person who shares the same name will likely follow your child throughout their lives so take special care to make sure you're happy with the choice. Gender-Neutral Names There are so many great gender-neutral names you might not have thought of yet in your search for the perfect boy name. Take a look—you might just find the one you've been waiting for!
