My wife's name is Katherine (Kate). My name is Robert. I was named after my Dad's Dad. My middle name is Larry after my Dad. If I continue this trend, it may turn into a never ending cycle.
I would like to name him after my Dad, but my wife is a little unsure, so I am trying to get some options.

There have been some real good suggestions. I kind of like the sound of Rigby as well as someone suggested.

I am not looking for something goofy that my son will resent me for later, but I would like something strong and maybe even outdoorsy (not sure if that is a word).


Hmmmm ..... Have you considered taking a name from history? A famous explorer or leader? Or how about famous outdoor or gun writers? Characters from a hunting novel? Or big game guides or professional guides (like in Africa - like Finn Agaard for example? Or Zachery or Jedediah?).

Also, I forgot earlier that if you do name your son some common name like 'John' or 'Robert', etc. ..... be sure to spell the kid's name the NORMAL, COMMON way too!! My real-life first name has two "D's" in it and is FOREVER a pain-in-the-a## ALWAYS correcting people!!

If you were starting the name-search from scratch, I'd say name your boy a very MASCULINE and STRONG name like a CEO would have; John, Joseph, David, Kevin, Kyle, George, Thomas, etc. GOOD LUCK. wink cool

Give him a man's name. Larry and Lawrence (and Robert) are all perfectly fine. I'd bet your family and hers both have many examples that he would be proud to pass on one day, instead of remembering that his very name is a gag.

Every generation has its popular names, some carry on to the next, some dont. My kids were born in the 21st century, their names are Finn and Talon. I have no regrets and their names are pretty tame compared to some kids I know.
