Baby Name Ideas Wanted

[HerkHunter]

The missus and I are expecting our first… among the million other things we are trying to learn we have discovered naming the thing is not so easy. My wishes (not necessarily hers, though she’s liked some of the ideas I have floated) are Montana/frontier history themed without being overly evident (i.e Montana, or Rocky, though those are good names nonetheless). I have floated Brooks (brook trout, Brooks Range Alaska) and Augustus (think Augusta, MT one of my favorite places, though I still think about the boy in a chocolate river too). Any other ideas? Maybe after previous governors or bada**es that once roamed our landscape? I liked Theo after the father of Conservation but she did not. Thanks in advance fellow HT’ers!

Meh, too many people pick theme names. Find a name you like that they can grow into not after someone else.

I like Augustus you can call him Gus. Wanna my favorite characters and ties in sense he died in Montana.

 

[BigHornRam]

If I got a mule, I thought about naming him Marshall Tucker. It could work for a kid too.

Anything but Hunter...

 

[Big Sky Guy]

Bridger (although it’s kinda popular in Montana)

August (my friend has a son named August, Auggie is his nickname)

Gallatin (I had a cat with this name but he died from kidney issues)

I had a cat named Rocky, he ran away or got ate.

Brooks is solid, there was a guy I went to high school with this name and is pretty uncommon IME.

Go on your front porch and yell whatever name you are considering. If it sounds stupid, discard that choice.

Jesse. There isn’t anyone more Montana than this guy…

Save you some leg work. I asked similar last year. Lots of great names in here.
We went with Samuel. Our first is Theodore.
Like mentioned before by I can’t recall who, but imagine yourself standing on the front step yelling the name before deciding. I’ve heard a few in the new neighborhood I’ve had to laugh at.
Congrats on expecting!

Name my son for me.

My wife and I are at a complete loss for names for our second boy. We had our first son's name locked and loaded for a couple years before hand, but never thought much past that. Number 2 will be showing up in about a month and we've got nothing. So, I've come to the greatest collection of minds...

My grandpa was Charles and I loved it but already had a new Charles in the fam. Charles for Charles Russell. His middle name was Marion if you wanna make your boy tough.
Look up some Montana provincial governors and early legislature. I found Samuel from Samuel Elrod, 5th governor of SD. Donno about his policies but he looks like he didn’t take sh*t from no one. Also, it’s a good biblical name.

IMHO, go with something solid, tried and true, maybe a little old fashioned if you will.

We named our son Avery. My wife’s family is from Avery, ID, and I always thought it sounded tough. Turns out the number one GIRL name in 2014 was Avery.. who woulda thought…

I hope if for any reason you choose Avery, it’d better be a boy.

I couldn't do Brooks I would think of Shawshank everytime.

Pretty sure I have the same advice to Wild bill.

“Samuel!!!!! Time for dinner!!!!!”

See, that name works just fine.

“Alfie!!!!! Come take out the trash!!!!” Nope. Doesn’t work.

“Brextleigh! Get over here!” makes you sound foolish.
