Well we are one month from "Baby Boy" arrival and we can't even come up with more than two names we sort of like. Afton won't let us call him anything other than Baby Boy, she thinks that is his name.
So...we need help, we will consider any and all suggestions, even Bilbo Baggins (thank you Ian). Let the search begin!

Is there a prize?
Names I love for boys: Owen, Evan and Oscar (okay so I would never name my kid Oscar but I like it and think it would be great if I knew an Oscar).
Abby - I made the Elmo cupcakes and Grant LOVED them.
Terren (sp?), Luke (we don't mind doubles), Tanner, Mitchell, I don't know..... Maybe Billy Bob.....
Here were some of our baby boy names before we found out we were having a girl: Hudson, Graham, Bridger, Porter or Hayden, excited to see what you pick!
Hokey, Pokey, Pencil... hmmm. Those are probably becoming too popular now days. How about family history names? Theopholus, Bill, Ralph (sorry that's all the family history I know of your family!)
I was gonna use this one, but Wendy and I chose another when the time came...Dr. Pepper. Feel free to take it. I don't want anymore kids.
Other good boy names include: Mowgli, Beowulf, Pubert, Obidiah Juan (Obi Juan for short), Ivan.
I have also been thinking of ways to cut back on yelling at my own kids, and I thought, "If I named my kids 'Jesus' I would be less likely to yell at him." So you can take that one and see if it helps you.
FAMILY NAMES:
Ray
Don (how about RayDon)
Eugene
Theo (or Theogen)
Ralph
james (Jim Ralph or Jimmy R or RJ)
Jarabee (Utah's version of Jared and Abby) or
Abjar.
(I have several cousins with a syllable from each parent)
Wayne
Mark
Darwin or Wainwin, Markwan.
Older names: (actual ancestors)
Highland DeForest Wilcox
George Washington Loveless

William Heber Stubbs
Martin Hansen
Ray Ekins Loveless
Robert John Cobbley
Theophilus James Stringham
Bryant Stringham
Don Gordon Stringham
Edson Whipple
Abishai Ware
Jedediah Stringham,
Truman Henry Armstrong
Rhodam Rogers (it goes to some Rhodam families, sorry it might tie us into "She who must not be named.")
Stubbs English names: Richard, Samuel, Richard, Matthew, Samuel, William, Matthew, John, Joseph, Thomas, Peter,
(some of the women had more creative names: Dimmis, Elvira, Basmoth Elnore, Clarissa, Lavinia, Emeline, Marcy, Ziporah, Rosebelle, Blanche, Annie Amanda, Eliza Tryphina, Reba, Roxy, Myrl, Delilah Eunice, Sussannah, Zella Temprance, Amanda Melvina)
Sorry I can't help.
oops. Theophilus was a Green not a Stringham.
How about Jedediah, Jed for short? Ok, so that was our dog, but he was a really good dog. Now I think about it-maybe you better go with Scruffy.
Jedediah Abishai Robert Edson Donald Stubbs, J.A.R.E.D. Stubbs for short.
Well first off it's not so bad to name your kid after the dog, Indiana Jones was named after the dog. (of course he pick that name for himself. So you should name him Jared Jr. and let nature take it's course, you'll have to get a dog)
Abjar isn't a bad name, but he'll never get a plane ticket ever again if he grows a beard.
Here is my suggestions:
Jacob
Jarom
Enos
Omni
Or Manhanroimoriancumer
Or if you don't want a book of mormon name you can always call him Ishmale (wait that's in the book of mormon too, darn I thought a moby dick name would be cool)
How about, Walter. You can call him Walt for short.
Benjamin...
ok I am out of ideas. Just call him scruffy.
mom thinks Collin is a good name
What about easy names for a good start as David?Do you guys have any David in the family?
I really liked some of the ideas gaven...Mitchell and Collin are my favorites so far...
Good luck on choosing a name!
Looks like you're getting tons of good suggestions...Sorry, I can't help.. I'm coming up short on any names I even like anymore!
Not telling. Boy's names are too hard to find....
I've just changed my vote to Theophilus. That is a name that no kid would dare make fun of because they would be too afraid of the wrath of Theophilus.
