HBOT Names My Child: Part 2

[LuciousBDragon]

2 years ago HBOT (HROT) successfully named my daughter, Victoria. The other options were Riley (too trendy) and Alexis (too stripper-y).

My second son, fourth child overall, was born a couple hours ago. Once again, we have 3 names and cannot decide.

HBOT—name my child!

“Dependent Child # 4” has a nice ring to it but I would keep it traditional and name him:

Demond Sanders

Honest question, is Alexander a biblical name? I thought it was older than that?

Good question. I think you’re right, but I’m sure most names in the Bible were names before the Bible was written.

always tough to call something pre-biblical, but alexander is certainly pre-new testament, with earliest documented use around 1280 bc.

Alexander. Alex is a good short name. Max and Coop not so much

Alexander could turn into Al by school mates.

Not good.

I went with Maxwell - I think it's the most "affluent" sounding of the choices.

Worked with a Maxwell - he was the "4th" of his name, his parents owned multiple different vacation homes (Alexandria, VA, Vail, CO, etc). Good guy, but you can tell he grew up in a different "scene" that I did.

First off, Congratulations! I chose Max, but what about Musco jr.? It's catchy.

 

[desihawk]

based on the offered choices i feel like op never even considered deVonte and tayshawn

Not good.

Oh I will definitely call him Big Al. The wife will hate it, which will make it even more fun.

If your last name ends with an -er sound, then it can’t be Alexander or
Cooper (ex; former Iowa S Tanner Miller).

If you’re good with a one-syllable name, I’ve always liked Grant.

Of the three, Alexander. Xander is a cool alternative diminutive (much cooler than the trendy Topher).

For a write-in, not many boys named Othniel. It’s actually the name of the lead male protagonist of my fantasy novel (though he gets third billing behind 2 girls). It’s from Hebrew and roughly means “he who has God’s favor”.

Alexander is a clear winner here.

I guess Elon was taken...

You could combine two of the names. They all sound good together.

Alexander Cooper
Cooper Alexander
Maxwell Cooper

etc., etc.

Alexander Cooper
Cooper Alexander

I think we’re going to go with Alexander James which gives us the option to call him “AJ.”

You really can't go wrong with James... now Jameis, that would be a mistake...

I have an aj, though different on both letters

 

[noleclone2]

I changed my vote to Cooper.

 

[Bearhawk0505]

It has to be Cooper now.

 

[HawkinK.C.1]

Russians are popular right now. I'd go with Alexander.
