The more names that I see, the more confused I am getting. I know what I want, but can not seem to find something just perfect. I want a boys name that is original, not too trendy, and something that flows perfect with the last name Spence. Also, I am not a fan of Nicknames, I prefer a name that people would find very hard to shorten. I will list a few names so you can see my style....but I am very open to new suggestions....

Isaiah Rylan Spence
Adyn Elijah Spence.....this is out because of the popularity of Adyn (Aiden)
Malachi
Zachariah
Adrian


Please Please.....I need Advice....this is my first child....and I know how important a name is........

What about Jonah? Here are some other names ( no idea if they'e your style or not) that don't seem to be shortened a lot:
Adam
Austin
Kevin
Jack
Alan
Barrett
Garrett
Kendall
Sebastian
Ian
Ethan
Ryan
Dylan
James
Wyatt


Its hard because most of the non-nicknamble names are one syllable or end in s which doesn't really go with Spence.

Wow, sorry I totally messed that up. How bout this:

My response: You said you dont like nicknames, but for me, its pretty easy to make up a nickname for some of those names. I even know people w/ some of those names and they go by their nickname.

Malachi- Mal, Chi
Zachariah- Zach, Zack

But the others, I cant think of nicknames. Good luck!

There we go. Very Happy Sry

Yes, I know that Zachariah is very very easily shortened to Zach, but I do still like the name, I am just trying to stick away from the NN. And as for Malachi, I know that there is always a way to shorten a name.....but there mal, and chi I don't believe are too common....and do not think many people will try to shorten it, except for close friends....which I can not control anyway....But thankyou for your opinion....

Isaiah Rylan Spence--I love Isaiah. No way to really shorten it either. Rylan is okay.
Adyn Elijah Spence--If you are still pronouncing this like "Aidan," you are going to make it even more difficult for you kid because he's still "Aidan" but now he has to spell it for everyone. Eiljah is a really good name, but would be shortened to Eli probably.
Malachi--Another good choice.
Zachariah--Okay, but will be shortened to Zach.
Adrian--I like this too, but it is common with girls and being used a lot now.

My favorites: Isaiah, Elijah, and Malachi.

I think Isaiah Spence flows really well. That's my favorite on your list. The suggestion of Elias is nice, but Elias Spence? I hate it when names flow together like that.

Here are some others you might like, based on what I perceive to be your style:

Caleb Spence
Aaron Spence
Adam Spence
Elliott Spence
Jared Spence
Gabriel Spence
Gideon Spence
Micah Spence
Jude Spence
Levi Spence
Isaac Spence
Noah Spence
Simon Spence


Good luck deciding. Hope these helped!

Trevor
Brock
Cole
Raine
Caleb
Lance
Erik
Blake
Brian
Brent
Brandon

I forgot to mention, I also like Levi, Austin, Kevin, Aaron...they don't really have nicknames either. I love the names Gabriel and Mitchell as first names if you can deal with the nicknames Gabe and Mitch from some people.
