Our daughter would have been Duncan James had she been our son, so feel free to use it.

Even if your friend napped Laszlo…you should still go with it if you love it…will you even know your friend later in life? Choose the name you love. If you go with James don’t worry about him being called Jim…he will only be called Jim if you call him that or if he likes it. I have a brother-in-law James and no one calls him Jim. I just found out last week that I am having a boy and we are considering naming him after his daddy and grandpa….Jack Dietterich…he will be the third…but then I see all of these murders and kidnappers that are “III.” This scares me a bit…so, we are also considering other names. Names I like include: Marshall & Montgomery. Since the hubby doesn’t like them we won’t be using them, but you can if you like them. If I were you I would go with Laszlo since you love it….you may not even be friends with your name napper in a few years…keep that in mind. Good luck!

My hubby’s whole family is all J names…what is up with that? I guess there are more J names….all of his mom’s sisters and his dad and all of his brothers….they even named a boy “Jorge,” but pronounce it George…so when he grew up he changed it to George.

I love “Enzo.” It’s our oldest’s middle name, and now I wish we had gone with it being the first name. You are welcome to nap it if you so wish (Laszlo reminded me of it a little bit.)

Congrats and I love the blog!

Oh, ouch! We named our son (born 1/31/08) Laszlo. I knew it was too good to assume nobody else would think of it. Dang.

Our 18 year old sons name is Brett and he likes it. Not common, short to go with your long last name. Ours is as well and girls like it.

Good luck and enjoy that precious guy.

I am just a couple of weeks behind you and we are thinking our little man will either be Elliott or Henry (Hank).
Some other names that we’ve considered are:

Reid (my husband loves it, me not so much)
Atticus
Beckett (call him Beck)
Justin (all the justins i know are cuties)
Oliver
Cooper
Arlo (if we go with Elliott, we like Arlo for a middle name)

Good luck! There is so much pressure to choose the right name. After all, the kid is going to be stuck with it his entire existance. I always feel that if I choose wrong it will change the course of the kids life. ugh. not an easy mission.

I also love Benjamin but it’s pretty blah i suppose.
