So yeah, my first born son is due February 11th and the worst part so far has been coming up with a name for him; we think we like:

My last name is Merrill.

Rivers Lee Merrill
Rivers Roy(grandfather) Merrill
Lennon Roy Merrill
Elliot Roy Merrill

It's hard to find something unique and that flows with my last name.

Any suggestions for first and middle names? Any thoughts on the ones named off?

EDIT:

Looks like we're going to go with: William Roy Merrill. Nice strong name.

I'm glad I was talked out of "Rivers"

Terrisus

Also, while obviously he's your son and you can name him pretty much whatever you want, what is the reason for wanting something "unique?"

 

[endresults]

Rivers is shit, IMO.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Julian
Alexander

Whatever you choose, don't pick Rivers. It's no good.

 

[Cmerrill]

Rivers is shit, IMO.

Lol, appreciate the honesty.

 

[RustyNails]

Just don't name him Jason. It's like everyone's kid's name is Jason these days.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Snake Big Boss Merrill

 

[Celegus]

Uh... anything but Darryl?

 

[terrisus]

Also, I didn't want to be so blunt as to outright say it, but...

Rivers is shit, IMO.

Yeah, kind of this.

 

[WascallyWabbit]

OP are you a Weezer fan?

my suggestion is Chalupa Batman Merrill

Knives-Dominica is a strong name.

Joseph

 

[Volimar]

Cthulhu

Julian
Alexander

Alexander is nice. So is Andrew. Names with multiple nickname options are best.

Mark Merrill was the first thing I thought. *shrug*

 

[Schmo Florez]

Not Jack. Everyone and their mom is naming their kid Jack.

 

[Exotoro]

One.

 

[FelixOrion]

Azu

Azu Merill

 

[ЯAW]

Go with the classics like Tibernius or Caligula.

What's wrong with Roy as the first name? Roy Merrill sounds nice to me, but everyone has to be a unique snowflake with a pretentious name nowadays, grumble grumble.

 

[tastas]

Streetlamp

 

[teruterubozu]

Primus

 

[Ourobolus]

Not Rivers, for the love of god.

Joshua!

 

[flyinpiranha]

Sebastian Merrill

 

[McHuj]

Not Anakin. Anything, but Anakin

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

Not a fan of Rivers, or most boy baby names these days. He is going to be an adult someday, who wants to be a grown ass man named Caleb, Skylar or Rivers?

Dax the destroyer, now that is a solid name.

 

[Cmerrill]

OP are you a Weezer fan?

my suggestion is Chalupa Batman Merrill

Yes, I am.

 

[Dark Octave]

Rivers is shit, IMO.

Charger fan?

I always like Kai.

 

[Volimar]

Mark Merrill was the first thing I thought. *shrug*

Ha. Had no idea, really. Just rolls off the tongue.

 

[Exotoro]

Inigo Montoya

just watch out when he turns 11 tho

 

[Brannon]

Not Aiden or any of its variations.

I recommend Franklin. Nice square name that goes well with Merril. And no one can make fun of it.

Your absolute first question should be "Is this going to get him beaten up at school"?

So no, not Rivers for sure.

Hahahaha. Lol.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Rivers and Lennon will both get him beaten up. Even Elliot isn't doing great, it has girly connotations because of Billy Elliot.
