Baby Names

[aniko]

I feel it’s easier to ask stranger than family/friends for baby name opinions. We are having a baby boy in a few weeks. We already have another son beginning with the letter B, and both myself and my husband begin with a K. My favorite contenders in order are as follows:
1.Cambell Jay (CJ or Cam)
2. Benson Thomas (Ben)
3. Morgan Jay (MJ)
4. Brady Thomas

Will it be weird if we are all a hard “C” consonant and my other son isn’t?? Is Cambell (yes, I dropped the P) too weird and won’t work as an adult? I feel I’m stressing too hard about this but my first son’s name was an instant yes and we never gave it a second thought. Thank you everyone for your input!

@aniko Cambell is too weird, unless you put the P back. He’s going to have to correct the spelling constantly. I like Benson or Brady personally.

@seniorfluffy3 Agreed. Do Benson and call him Benny. Adorable.

 

[skythelimit2011]

@seniorfluffy3 Same

 

[katrina2017]

@aniko I hate Cambell lol

 

[svonaly]

@katrina2017 I don’t really see Campbell as a first name in general. OP, if you like CJ and Cam, why not Cameron?

 

[olasunkanmi]

@katrina2017 Same, I either think cam-belt or Campbells soup.

@katrina2017 They’re all bad. I’d choose Morgan, if I had to, but I’ve met Morgan’s and it sometimes gets shortened to Morgie by other children and Morgie doesn’t feel boyish.

@aniko Cambell is pretty terrible. He will constantly be dealing with spelling errors. My brain wants to pronounce it Cam-belle which makes it feel feminine too.

Campbell is fine. Benson, Morgan, and Brady are nice. I prefer the latter three by far.

@sjonesd3 Sooo I pronounce Campbell like cam-belle is there another way to pronounce it? Like is the P not silent?

 

[sjonesd3]

@kaskade16 It’s more like Cam-bull in my region

 

[kaskade16]

@sjonesd3 Oh interesting

 

[intrinsicate]

@kaskade16 Same.

@sjonesd3 Not only spelling errors, kids are mean and all I can think of is a bunch of kids calling him alphabet soup

@aniko Callum is a cute C name. Cambell is not

 

[markhiggs]

@njathi Carson?

@aniko I will never not think of the soup when I hear Campbell. Or think it’s someone calling someone by their last name. Def don’t think of it as a first name at all. Also you shouldn’t worry at all about your other kids name when naming this one. I never understood that being a consideration for people, they are different kids, treat them as their own individuals.

@hyde273 Agreed- Campbell is my dad's middle name, it was my grandma's maiden name. I don't think it's a terrible middle name, but I wouldn't use it as a first name.
