Why are boys names always so much harder to choose!?

There seems to be so much more choices out there for girls names. Boys names seem so limited!

Why are boys names always so much harder to choose!?
I wish i knew.......


My hubby and i had such a hard time choosing names for our 3 boys but it was so easy to come up with a name when we had our little girl...
Reply:I couldn't think of anything but one night my husband called me from work with a name and idea. If it was a boy his name would be cory michael and a girl it would be summer mae. The boys middle name is my husbands middle name but would be my initals and vice versa for the girls name.
Reply:I think there are plenty of names for boys, but many of them are just not names parents are comfortable saddling their kid with. I think we worry more about boys having a name that will result in teasing, so that limits choices. I never really thought about this before, but I think that's the issue.
Reply:It's the exact opposite in my eyes...I have a boy name picked out and a back up one that I really love too. Landon and Brendan. I have yet to find a girl name that doesn't make me go "ick!". It seems like there's a problem with every girl name I hear, whether I know somebody with that name or it just makes me think of something I don't like.
Reply:i was told that if you can find a boys name its because you are having a girl or vice versa,


so when i was pregnant it was about two weeks before i found out the sex and i only had girls names written down so i had a idea it was a girl and guess what it was


so yeah
Reply:I guess girls are more desicive towards their own names, boys don't really care, although boys may think the same thing about girls, but there are many different boys' names, there are just many of the same boys' names' chosen.
Reply:i agree and its even the same with boys clothes.


girls have heaps more names and heaps more variety with clothes.


i think its something to do with masculinity.
Reply:I agree about the boys names being so limited, but then I think its harder to choose girls names simply the opposite reason. Because there is so many to choose from
Reply:I never had that problem. We actually had a harder time finding a girl name we agreed on. However on this site I do see more people bummed about boy names.
Reply:I have 2 boys


1. Preston George (after his daddy)


2. Haden Jameson (after his great grandpa)
Reply:I think because we are girls its much easier to pick a girls name than boys.





Im having a boy in October and have no idea on a name!





Good luck
Reply:I think the opposite! My husband and I already have a few boy names in mind, but can not figure out any girls names that we like.


Good luck!

Reply:Because your a girl. Boys generally have the same problem.
Reply:funny how I was thinking the same thing :)
