need help on baby names

I need to find some Unique and Un- Commen baby names that people have heard of of used. My boyfriend keeps coming up with these commen names that for some reason i used to like when the names were less commen years ago lol He likes Kaleb for a boy, i dont exactly hate the name but i know too many kids with that name. I want something new that sounds good. I want a name that will go with the middle name James because that is my dead uncles name and plan on using it for my babys middle name. The only girl name i have picked out is Jazlyn but my boyfriend thinks it sounds more like a strippers name but i love the name, is so unique. He likes Sky for a girls name but its way too short and for some reason i dont think its cute at all. Please help me find some good ones!!!! Thanks.

my son's name is Crosley. Like Crawzz-Lee. It's different. He was named after a car that was made in our hometown in the 30s.  my husbands father has one he is fixing up. So it's sort of in honor of him. We like the name....some people get confused... some call him Crosby, but whatever.

I dont know if this will help but...My oldest son is Tristan Jamison our youngest is Hunter Jamison and we are planning to name the newest son Dalton Jamison:)  My hubbys first name is Jamison and with our first he really wanted a Jr.....I said no way so we went with his first name as our sons middle name.....Only problem with that is all we keep having are boys and the hubby keeps saying that we cant end it especially after he did it with our second son!!!UGH...good luck with yours:)
All of our boy's names are a little diffrent and not so common...we didnt want anything too popular either.
We had the name Payton picked out for a girl but....we are having another boy, lol!
Feel free to use any of those names if you like:) Do you know what your having??????

I had always thought my kids were going to have fairly unique names until I had them..... Now on here I keep seeing my kids first names over and over and I'm wondering if I should have picked something else! No my kids names fit them Perfectly! My daughter is 4 her names is Cadence and my son is 2 his name is Aydan.... I dont know if I should mention my coming baby's name, someone might use it! lol!
Seriously I found a few sites I cant remember where  but if you google uncommon baby names they give you a lot of choices they have some good names though

I like the older names as well - when we were pregnant we decided on a girl's name and a boy's name

Boys name - Tyler Joseph (fiance's first name) Patti

Girl's name - Natalie Ann (my first name) Patti

I love them and you don't hear them too often anymore.

try these with the middle name James:

Aiden
Ezra
Zander
Parker
Noah
Malachi
Remington


just a few to wrap your mind around. i really love the name Ezra and wish i could someday use it but it will not go with my last name so that goes out the window. good luck on your name quest!

I had that same problem with trying to come up with unique names.
A woman above stated using the husband's first name as the middle name if it's a boy, and that's actually a good idea. I'm gunna bring it up to my fiancee in the morning.

Cuz for a boy we have Aiden Lee Chipman [[<~~ fiance's last name.]]
And for a Girl we have Ivy Lynn Chipman.
But now that I think about it,
Aiden Joshua Chipman sounds pretty good too!
And I'm sure he'll like the idea.

But I can give you a few names that Josh n I went through before we came up with Aiden and Ivy.

Girl combos:

Melonie Jade
Cadence Marie
Rain Marie
Boe Marie
Jooniper Leigh
Dakota Leigh
Juno Sage
Morgan Sage
October Sage [[my mom said if it was a girl that it'd be cute to name her after her birth month, but that went down the drain after I told her that what if she ended up coming in September... then that would be stupid. lolol]]
Kylie Mae [[or May]]

That's the only ones for the girls I can remember right now.
Like I said, you won't find many people with those names, if ANY.

Boy Combos:

Korey Gage
Jack Anthony
Aiden Donnie
Eathan Micheal
Blake Hunter
Morgan Lee
Dante Lucas
Carter Ray

That's all I can think of of the boy names.
Play around with them with whatever other names you think would go good with them too.
Or the boy names I put with "James" like you wanted.
Just don't steal my Ivy and Aiden!!!
lol.

I wish you luck in your baby name adventure!
It took Josh n I 5 months to finally come up with a pair we liked.
Even though I'm only 16w6d, we've been thinking about baby names for quite some time now! lol

My DD's name is Navia Rose (pronounced Nadia, but with a V instead of D). I have not heard of anybody else having this name. I think now, older names are unique. The one we have for our DD on the way is Jessie Ann.

Something to try is to pick a name or two that you like and change them to fit what you want. My MIL like Lisa and Jessica and came up with Lisaca for my SIL.

My SIL DDs are Kara (it is pronounced car-like a vehicle- with an a at the end) and Nyla. We also thought about the name Kyla.

I think boy names are impossible, so I can't help you there, sorry!!
