Man Names

Baby names don't tend to get very many men excited. While quick to reject names, most guys aren't quick to offer their own suggestions. It takes a very special name to generate an enthusiastic response, and these names vary man to man. In the case of my husband, strong, Nordic names like "Thane," wild west cowboy names like "Slate," and quirky fuddy duddy names like "Conrad" thrill him the most.
If you're struggling to come up with any names your man approves of, consider his interests and passions. Is he:
- Artistic? Offfer: "Claude" or "Vincent"
- Athletic? Offer: "Walker" or "Ryder"
- Aquatic? Offer: "Isla" or "Shell"
- Outdoorsy? Offer: "Hunter" or "Willow"
- Musical? Offer: "Cadence" or "Piper"
- Traditional? Offer: "Sarah" or "James"
- Indecisive? Offer: "Elizabeth" or "William" because they come with many nickname possibilities.
- Romantic? Offer: "Aurelia" or "Rodrigo"
- Hip? Offer: "Tate" or "Moe"
- Nerdy? Offer: "Euclid" or "Newton"
- Reformed? Offer: "Luther" or "Calvin"
- Geeky? Offer: "Han" or "Kirk"
- Heroic? Offer: "Wallace" or "Patton"
- Literary? Offer: "Hemmingway" or "Rudyard"
- Succinct? Offer: "Guy" or "Brynn"
- Sentimental? Offer: His grandma's name
- Nostalgic? Offer: His favorite childhood hero's name 
- Easygoing? Offer: Whatever you want!

Let these inspire you, and dream up a couple to toss at your man. Have a pen and paper ready, because they could be just the thing to cause a fount of names to well up inside him!
