I know it's a little odd, but I'm trying to help my friends come up with names for their new baby. They want something unique or cool. To me that translates to hot. ha ha!

Anyways, do you guys have any suggestions on guy names you like?

Thanks in advance.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR JAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY

Chewbacca

I'd go for old Jewish guy names:

Izzy
Moe
Irving
Shmuel
Hyman
Abe
Avrum
Moishe
Milton
Bernie

It seems guys named Brad, Collin, or Owen are consistently attractive people... lol.

halltd saidThey want something unique or cool. To me that translates to hot. ha ha!

Tell them to try Cal, for caliente (hot) lol

Odilon

My non-existent future baby boy name... inspired by Charlotte

Retsmiz... Ret for short or Zimster backwards!

TurkishDelight saidRetsmiz... Ret for short or Zimster backwards!

Hahahaha!!! Sounds like "Yes, miss?" LOLLLLLL

Cameron, Matt, Josh, Mark, Brandon, Caleb, Jacob,

and the hottest of all

Tyler

Brett, Ryan, Sean, Michael (still popular), Dylan, Zack, Matt, Will, Josh, Jeff, Kyle, Brian, Justin, Scott, Todd, Trey, Shane, Chris, Austin, Rob, Brandon

important academic study of names in relation to vowels.

I would recommend filtering out a list of possible names by considering the position of the major vowel. Vowels with are frontal as deemed by IPA would be more attractive.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6271-pleasing-names-make-faces-sexier.html

Hells yes I am hardcore!

honestly most of the names listed here so fat match the criteria

unfortunately, my name has a really deep-back vowel

Barack ?

I've always like Tony.

Can't go wrong with Bob.

Thor
Atlas
Herc

I like names that imply power and strength.

My favourites:

Neo (straight out of the Matrix, but I think it's cool)
Tristan
Jenson

I guess it depends on the surname.

Giovani my favorite but I am not sure I am spelling it right

And I will call you "Pushy"...and you will by my "Pushy"

Ok... Tyler, Tucker, Ashton, Kyle, Braden, etc..... those kind of names have got to go. Those aren't real guys names. I like names like Mike, Justin, Rob, Tony, Mark, Adam.

In the words of George Carlin.. "I'll bet you 10 times out of 10, a Nicky, a Vinnie, and a Tony, will kick the sh#t out of a Tyler, a Tucker, and a Todd."

-Nick

I like Grant, Jeremiah, Ethan,Jonathan

Bryan

Almost all Bryan's I know are attractive.

Also Shawn, Matt, Trevor, Todd.

My son's name is Finn...it's become a lot more common lately though.

I'd go for Max, Van or Lawson next (incidentally all character names in my next YA book, lol)

Jabberwocky

"Chad" is about as studly a name as you're gonna get...

--Chad

Zachary (Zac), Gabriel (Gabe), Aidan, Dane, Dylan, Evan, Fritz, Hayes, Jacob (Jake), Kyle, Lance, Liam, Nathan (Nate), Tucker, Trey, Trent, Ian, and Chase

Todd's pretty cool too -- hehe


Todd here :-)

oh, and stonecold? you could be named 'fart' and you'd still be hot, dude.

I have always liked Gauge for some reason but my bf has a name that is sexy to me plus it is very very unique. Sabastian is another odd name that I like but we have enough Chad's in this world so hide the whole C section just to ensure that does not happen lol.

Steve as in Adam and Steve

There's a guy on campus here named Canyon, which I think is a pretty sweet name.

I've always been a fan of Brodie and Isaac. Not really amazingly original though.

Dante is a really cool name. If I ever have a kid I'm naming him Dante.

Jeff
Dave
Gary
Derek
Jason
Chris
Steve
Marc (with a c)
and Gregg (for obvious reasons!) LOL

halltd saidI know it's a little odd, but I'm trying to help my friends come up with names for their new baby. They want something unique or cool.

Thank goodness! Nothing against the popular names, but a unique name is way cooler.

I HIGHLY recommend they visit these websites.

www.babynamewizard.com/voyager
www.babynames1000.com/

Use the tool on the right side of the page (for that second website) to search by year.

Hmm. Glendon could be cool...

Please do not allow them to name the baby Apple or Suri. LOL. Seriously, celebrites are not really good at naming babies...

I'd like to suggest that if you're going to give a child a very unusual first name, it would be best to give the child a very standard name as a middle name. It's entirely possible that the kid won't feel the same way about having a highly unusual name as his/her parents, and a very standard middle name gives the child the option to go by a more standard one if (s)he wishes. If the parents want to go with Canyon for their son, that's their choice, but it's a good idea to add a middle name like James or William or something.

I like more traditional names. Daniel, David, Jonathan, Jacob, Justin.

Andrew, Tyler, Cody, Brandon.

Wow. You guys were a ton of help. Thanks! Who knew there were so many websites about baby names and their underlying meanings?

I'm passing along all the information to my friends and they're very appreciative. So, thanks.

In case you were wondering, the surname is Rider.

I love my first name, as One is yet to meet another Pattison. it also allows One to only have one name, and this One does only have, one name. Pattison, Pattison.

But my son would be called either:
Sebastian
or
Rupert.

um i like the classics...

...daniel

both cool and hot!

I agree... though what do you do if you want to give your child a non-common first name and then also a middle name from one of your parents? My middle name could in no way be mistaken for a first name, as it is my grandfather's middle name, and his grandfather's last name. I suppose I lucked out with my first name being mainstream.

Schmooey

or how about...

Cody
Brent
Calvin
Maximo or Massimo
Brandon
Jacob... Jake's a kool name for a little guy

I've always been partial to the name Ira (I believe that is a Jewish name).

stonecoldfoxboy said"Chad" is about as studly a name as you're gonna get...

--Chad

Unless you're a hanging Chad. Or a dimpled Chad.

halltd saidIn case you were wondering, the surname is Rider.

Then how about Easley?

Or Bronco?

Jackson, Dylan, Liam, Owen, Marc, Sean, Christopher, Lincon, Jacob Brad and Kyle.

Love those names.

jprichva said[quote][cite]stonecoldfoxboy said[/cite]"Chad" is about as studly a name as you're gonna get...

I'm both.

halltd saidIn case you were wondering, the surname is Rider.

Well, then "Rump", of course...

guess I'm old fashion but I still like the standard strength of Michael..... conservative but strong! (and my son's name )

Just from friends and guys i've known that id say were hot,

Josh (hot beyond belief), Sebastian (will definitely be a troublemaker), Jacob (all around good fella), Andrew (hot but will definitely be straight)

ItsMyLife saidGiovani my favorite but I am not sure I am spelling it right

Giovanni (I like it too)
Dante (Durante)
Michael (Michelangelo)
Marcello (Marcellus)
Marcellino
Niccolo
Stefano (Stephen)

And the answer is ....


Caslon

Raptor saidKane?

nope .... Caslon

thanks for playing tho. .... j/k ....

I've never met a "Tanner" or a "Conor" that was ugly. Those are hot guy names. But it doesn't really go with the last name Rider. I think Quinn is hot.

^ Yeah, first names that end in "er" or "or" don't seem to go with Rider. We've begun to notice that as well.

For some reason I'm a big fan of Beckett. It seems pretty unique to me.

I'm really digging some of the other choices you all have given though. I hadn't thought of a lot of them.

tommysguns2000 saiddid u just make fun of my son's name, Sed?

wow

ROFL I'm joking (in reference to it becoming more common lately)! Sheesh. (EDITED Original Post, sorry )

Finn is a great name.

(

It appears that was the case when women rated names. I didn't see any indication that they also had men rate first names.

I like, Michael or Mike, Chris, or Matt.

I've also Met guys who were named Lesley and Ashley, they were hot!

I've always liked Noah as a boys name.. I don't think it's all too common either

And the winner is......

SAGE.

I also love TYLER.

I think many parents forget an important part when coming up with a name, and that is that the name must sound good when he or she's having sex.

For instance, Moe is not a good choice. I mean it rhymes with "oh", "Oh, Moe!" and when the partner realizes it rhymes they'll laugh and that's not hot. Or something that just doesn't go with "oh", like "Oh Shmuel!".

buddha_the_god said For instance, Moe is not a good choice. I mean it rhymes with "oh", "Oh, Moe!" and when the partner realizes it rhymes they'll laugh and that's not hot. Or something that just doesn't go with "oh", like "Oh Shmuel!".

The best sex always involves laughing. It's supposed to be FUN.

Adrian

Buck Rider?

Drake Rider?

Well I draw the line where you laugh with someone and when you laugh at someone.

tommysguns2000 saidMy son's name is Finn...it's become a lot more common lately though.

Finn's a great name.

My all-time favorite is Kai, which was in "Sea of Tranquility" by Paul Russell.

Ok, tell them to remember that "unique" can easily turn to "freakish" on the playground. Nothing against unique names, I've known some lovely ones (Ogion is a personal favorite).

Just remember that if it's TOO wierd, or doesn't shorten to something (Ogion apparently shortens to Ogi - pronounced Oh-gi) it can be hell at school. And it's not always the names you immediately think. It's better to be Ogion Fullford than Dwayne Pipe (yeah, I knew a guy with that name, for real).

Avanelle ... I kinda like that one. (It's a street name I saw on the way home last night.)

Troy

what a great name

how about,ethan,trent,gray,travis,chad.hope that will help.have a great summer.

Colm is a nice boy name, but, alas, not hot

I've always thought Chad was such a preppy name. It belongs at the boat house. This coming from a guy who has had to live with the name Chad his entire life.

I'm fond of Irish/Celtic names. Morgan, Aidan, Bain, Brendan, Cedric, Connor.

A name with meaning, specifically cultural meaning, is more important to me, however.

ItsMyLife saidGiovani my favorite but I am not sure I am spelling it right

Giovanni, ALSO my favorite name.

HOWEVER should i have a song someday Giovanni would be his middle name.

His first would be Caeser, since my brith name is Alexander.

Alexander conquored the world first... then Caeser did it... hence the name choice.

I always liked the name Jack, very normal name, but I like the sound.

i actualyl get alot of flack from my friends for this one. but if i ever have a kid, and it's a boy.

Knate

yes.. that's totally a silent K. but this guy likes it.

Keo Nozari is about the hottest homo I know (his song, "Monogamy").

I vote "Keo"

few more...


Gavin

Reese

Corey

Nicholas

Flynn

Hayden

Marshall (Mars)

Roland

Brady

Grady

I like Beckett, too. It looks good on a letterhead (Dr. Beckett Rider, MD?) or he can be just "Beck".

My personal favorites:

Brendan

Wyatt

Owen (my golf buddy stole this one for his newborn)

Matthew

Tristan

Caleb

I've named my girl cats after flowers, so I'd probably name a boy baby after a tree.

Larch has a nice ring to it.

Ive always liked Nate for a boys name. Tristan and Devon follow closely.

sebastian ...

KYLE! haha, no not just because it's my name - but because I think it's a really nice name

I also love Alex, Ryan and Cody

aaron ...

Atis (pronounced AWW-tEEce), Julian, Ian, Andrzej, Ariel, Noah, Connor, Taylor

Here's a few:

Jachin

Lemuel

Mattan

Zadok

Sargon

Conall

Shaw

Behind the Name

Chase

My Favorite boy's names have always been Brian and Mark (or Marc)

i think you can never go wrong with Brandon or Brad, i also like the name Christian alot too

i'd go Ben or Seth or will.

Also you can't go wrong with Marc (with a c) that's my name

But don't go the gwyneth paltrow route and name it apple.

How about Lindsay? It's got a great European heritage, is rare in North America, and every girl I've ever met with that name is always hot.

UncleverName saidHow about Lindsay? It's got a great European heritage, is rare in North America, and every girl I've ever met with that name is always hot.

I know a guy name Lindsay. He's kinda cute in an eminem look alike contest he'd win hands down. The down side is he's skinny as hell, smokes like a fish, smells of WAY too much cologne and has a skinny pecker

god most of the names are suuuch a snooore!!(with all due respect of course);-), but i do like Giovanni, Marcello, Nicco, i would also include Marrius, and Magnus, Armand

pakgreekguy saidgod most of the names are suuuch a snooore!!(with all due respect of course);-), but i do like Giovanni, Marcello, Nicco, i would also include Marrius, and Magnus, Armand

Giovanni: Italian form of Johannes, see JOHN: English form of Iohannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious".
(this one was mentioned a few times...)

Marcello: Italian form of MARCELLUS: From the Roman family name Marcellus which was originally a pet form of MARCUS: Roman praenomen, or given name, which was probably derived from the name of the Roman god MARS: Possibly related to Latin mas "male" (genitive maris).

Nicco: Italian form of NICHOLAS: From the Greek name Νικολαος (Nikolaos) which meant "victory of the people" from Greek νικη (nike) "victory" and λαος (laos) "people".

Marrius: Something tells me this was from a novel...

Magnus: Roman cognomen meaning "great" in Latin.

Armand: Again I think from a line of novels but none the less...French form of HERMAN: Means "army man", derived from the Germanic element heri "army" combined with man "man".


So would the names you've chosen be considered cool/hot boy names?

Oh here's a few funny ones to go with the surname (Rider):

Slow

Low

Deep

Hard

Soft

Mean

halltd saidI know it's a little odd, but I'm trying to help my friends come up with names for their new baby. They want something unique or cool. To me that translates to hot. ha ha!

Barclay

Jeremiah is my ultimate FAV! I wonder if its because my first crush has that name....god he is a beautiful...Great guy too. So yes, Jeremiah! Miah for short.

Nobody will mess with a guy named Chester A. Asskicker.

Cody, Wade, Toby, Derek, Benson (couldn't help it), Rory, Jacob.

Well personally i'm not into common names which are so lame but I always go for unqiue names.
Jason (maybe the only common name I like)
Escalus
Sirius (or it's alt version Cyrus)
Didier
Navare
Dryden
Robert (for some reason I've noticed alot of Hotties with this name)
Mark (is another on Hotties tend to have)
Giovanni
Alexski
Sebastian
Uruviel
Leotheras
Solaris
Bjorn
Horatio
Lexx
Donar
Pavel (could just be really cause I love Pavel Novotny)
Niccolos
Nikolai
Zothael
Buliwyf
Iocil
Dimitri
Rene
Aidan
Caelum
Beaux (can't go wrong with a name that means beauty)
Sergi

Braden

Didier

Laurent

Love those names!

CuriousJockAZ saidfew more...


Gavin

Reese

Corey

Nicholas

Flynn

Hayden

Marshall (Mars)

Roland

Brady

Grady

Yay! Someone suggested my name (Marshall). I've only met 3 or 4 other Marshalls in my life, so it's definitely unique. It's a very soft name though (soft rolling sounds) so it needs a surname with a crisp snap to make it work.

MATTHIAS!

or

THIAS in short! (Thias is hot!)

It's kind of cool to see "Mark" come up quite a bit as a cool / hot name!

I always liked Kevin, Kyle, or Troy for guys.

Oooo!! We were just talking about boy names at work, cuz my boss is having a baby, and we needed to give her names to think about. Boys names i LOVE LOVE LOVE are:

Talon

Kaydon

Colton

Zacharias

Mathias

Skee

Blake

Kal

And those are just a few to name<33
Good luck picking!

rowerboy saidJust from friends and guys i've known that id say were hot,

Josh (hot beyond belief), Sebastian (will definitely be a troublemaker), Jacob (all around good fella), Andrew (hot but will definitely be straight)

Straight? Not always

Sebastian has my vote. Gage is also good, I think.

well my whole name is Michael Thomas Dimitri Joseph Constantine Willett... yeah 1st grade sucked when we had to learn to write out our names

Well, if they haven't picked a name by the time the boy is born, on the Birth Certificate they can just put, under NAME: "Fill In Later" and call him Phil for short!

They had the baby a little over a week ago and went with Beckett. Yay, I named my first kid. ha ha!

And the middle name?

I don't really care for the middle name of Wagner because it has an "er" and so does their last name of Rider. It just doesn't flow as nicely (in my mind). But, the baby is the cutest!

I like non gender specific names. I like Kelly for a boy.

~Alex

Iago.

Welsh for James.

Nathan guarantees he'll be gay, as do Ryan and David. Still, these are solid names and many of the guys I've met with them were attractive. I also love Jonathan as a name. Personally I can't stand surnames being used as given names. It's so WASPy.

Jeb or Ezekiel

i like my and my brother's names, and our cousin:

Ulf
Julian
Milo
Aries

Stick to the old standard -- can't go wrong with a Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, James, Thomas, Robert, etc. Who knows what Jason and Justin and Cody etc will sound like 40 or 50 years from now. Personally I can't imagine being a little kid with a Granny Ashley or Grandpa Tyler. Give the kid a "fashionable" middle name if you want.

Cole, Michael, Anthony or Tony for short(I'm biased to that last name though, it's mine, hehe)

Jaden Mark Drew Cole Matt Bart Jamie Kyle Greg

I like having a unique name. When I hear people talking about me, I know they're talking about me. And I don't ever recall having issues on the playground (and only once did I get flack for playing the flute, and well, turns out that what the guy said was right, so what's the big deal?)

Speaking of Jewish names, I once met this old geezer named Sean Ferguson. He had been prepped on what to say when he got to Ellis Island, but as he neared the front of the line he started getting nervous. Sure enough, when the clerk said: "Name?" he totally froze up, slapped his forhead... and said: "Shoyn, fargesn" (there you go, I forgot!)

Becket Shane/Sean Rider?
