Our Staff's Favorite Boy's Names

By Kim Proulx

We know that expecting parents have a lot on their mind and one of the main things is picking a name for your baby boy. There are so many names to choose from so you’re probably wondering where to start. We suggest thinking of names that will grow with your son. Give him a name he'll be proud of all through his childhood and adulthood. When you make your list of favorites, try introducing yourself with that name to see if it sounds good coming from an adult's mouth. Remember, your baby won't stay a baby for long.

Another fun way to choose a name is to figure out all of the nicknames that are associated with it. When your son is small you might want to call him Corby, but when he gets older you can call him by his official name, Corbin. Then you must pick a name selection deadline. Will it be before your son arrives or right after his birth? This is totally up to you so don't let friends and family sway your decision. We also recommend that you keep your top 10 list of boy baby names secret until you pick "the one". Then on your baby's birthday you can introduce him to friends and family by his official name. People will be too busy admiring your son's cuteness to worry about the name you've selected.

The staff at Simply Baby Furniture has come together and created their top 10 list of favorite boy's names. We hope this helps you narrow down your name choices so you can find the perfect name for your son.
