So a couple months ago Ontario posted a question along this line. Me and my wife are expecting our first child, and yesterday we found out that we are having a baby boy. Its the first grandson in the family. So now we are talking and looking at baby names. I was hoping that you guys would be so kind as you were to Ontario and help me with some thoughts on a good strong name.

Ulysses or Ishmael = "Sissy" or "Ishy" I wouldn't do that to a kid.
Jackson and Carter seem to be overused these days. Parker Reed is the name we picked for our little guy. Reed is a very nice name and seldom used these days. Hmmm. I like Ferrand, Fielding, and Fletcher. And, of course, I am partial to Welsey.
Very warm congratulations to you both. I hope everything goes okay.

Not to be biased, but my parents were pretty smart. They named me Jonathan Carter Stines. They raised me with the "nickname jack" (they had like jackson). I like it because although i will stick with jack. I can be called Jonathan, John, Jack, Carter, or J.C. Just my two cents.

You should be honored. Jack was my dear dad's name. Probably the finest person I'll ever know. We would have loved to have used it for Parker but my daughter's half-sister (by my previous marriage) beat us to it. Incidentally, that boy is not far from you. He lives with his mom in Baltimore.

Some tips:
If the last name is common, choose an uncommon first name.
If the last name is long, choose a shorter first name, and vice versa. Forms designers like small signature boxes.
Avoid ethnic names, or names that are hard to spell. Choose the English equivalent.
The last letter of the first name should not be the same as the first letter of the last name.
Consider the acronym that the initials will spell, as in the case of Alan S. Smith.
If you really need a strong first name, choose Samson.

Reply to New Weatherby Loadby jhjimboFitch, the new 'Hammer' bullet line is almost hand made/turned. Competitors and Hunters alike can not say enough about their product line.
