Need Help Picking a Boys Name!!!!!

I'm due in march and still haven't picked
out a name for a boy. This is our first,
and I thought picking a name would be
easy!!! I like the names you don't
hear everyday!! I don't like the bob,
bill, john, brad boring names!!!
Here are the names I loooove...But, people
give me their opinions about these!!
1. Gianni (they say it's too italian
for his last name, but it'd fit my last
name!!!)
2. Preston (i really really love this
name, everybody thinks it's cute, but
all of my boyfriends
friends think it's a name for a geek or
it's a gay name.)
any input or opinions? ****i've read
some replies to other peoples questions,
and if you are going to be rude about it,
please don't waste my time!!! **** thank
you!!! :d

I don't like either of them. Sorry. 
.I'm not sure what kinds of unique names
you would like, but the internet has lots
of baby name sites that should prove to be
helpful.
Good luck.

We had a hard time picking out a boy name
too. I don't care for common names
either. We decided on jaylon
i really liked the name jarren too. The
web can offer you lots of options, give
you meanings and origins. It's really
neat.

What about a combination of your name and
the father. Look at will smith and jada.
Their sons name is jaydon(after jada) and
their daughters name is willow(after
will).

Well my first name is jennifer and his is
jon....Lol so jonifer won't work, haha,
nor will jennon! It doesn't bother me if
people like the names I choose or not,
it's my boyfriend that is being the pill
about it! I told him to give me some
ideas, but his are ridiculously dumb!
Haha. Ohhhh, man the choices..I
seriously looked through a baby book of
50,000+ baby names and didn't find
anything that I liked.
I'll admit i'm horrible when I hear other
peoples names for their kids (to my family
members only) I react with "thats a dogs
name, or what a dumb name" so, now it's
payback for me huh?

Unique Names

I love the name kaden, for a boy. It's
unique, cute, and it means "strong." I
also like the name, brayden (there are
many spelling variations for both). My
daughter's name is jayden, so I guess I
just like that "den" sound at the end.
It's gorgeous! I do like the name
preston, I probably wouldn't name my son
that.. But only b/c it seems to common to
me, & I like uniqueness. Just have
fun with it, and choose carefully b/c
that's your child's name forever! Duuhh,
rigght? Lol! Take care, giirl. Give us
an update on you decision.
Love, love ~
october 05' mommy!

.Damien but after seeing .The .Omen it is
ruined for me

The omen ruined it for me, too. I used to
like preston but don't anymore and have no
idea why. I think it does sound very
preppy, country club like...Which could be
a reason why I don't like ti.
Why is it that boys names are so hard to
pick! I have three girls names but no
boys names. My husband and I can't agree
on any boy names. Actually, he hasn't
even given me a name he likes.

Wow you all you guys must live on the east
coast if preston is a common name!!!
Haha. I think I like it to so much
because I associate it with connecticut
boys (my family is from there) I like the
preppy look!
I like jayden but britney spears ruined
that name!! And, shocker, my boyfriend
doesn't really like that name!!!

Gianni is a fine name, no matter what your
last name is. You're pronouncing it just
like johnny right, because that's the
correct italian pronunciation, not
gee-ahn-ee. I don't really like preston
either. Sounds nerdy to me too.
Some notes:
kaden is spelled caden.
Brayden is spelled braden.
Jayden is spelled jadon and pronounced
ya-doan or jah-doan, not jay-den.
Don't give your baby a name that everybody
else has, like one of these. Soso93 has a
great list! I love conor, julian,
leander, lysander, alasdair (celtic
version of alexander), noah, xavier, and
tobias.

is much more common than preston.
Jayden: #54 last year
preston: #145
