My colleague's baby boy was borned just a few days but she wants to have an English name for her baby. Some said good American/English names these days are Zachary, Brandon, Benjamin and Ethan. Good traditional names are Ryan, Henry, John, James, etc...May I have your idea? Thanks!

Hi sara,
Well my son is Matthew, that is a Biblical name. Then ther is Christopher, Jeffery, Stephen or Steven, Mark, and Andrew. These are all of my brothers names. I'm sure that others will add to the list for you. I hope you will let us know what she decides on.

There are many nice names out there. :)
What about Alex? Adam? There pretty simple.
have a look at this website I was looking for you:

I think it might just be able to help out your colleague with many American girls and boys names.
Goodluck. :)

If my daughter had been a boy her name would have been Sean Robert. Sean is a nice Irish name and Robert would have been after my father. My daughter's middle name is Devin, which is really a unisex name. It can be spelled Devin or Devon, but Devon is more common for boys. It's just a pretty name. Some other family names are Michael, Nicholas, Dominic, Kenneth, William, Anthony and Joseph.

If I were to choose one based on that requirement I would name the child William, Ryan, or Nathan. If you are looking for both a first and middle name, I think that William Ryan or Nathan Ryan both work well. Actually, Ryan seems to make a very good middle name, it goes well with many first names now that I think about it. =)

Nathan would actually be my favourite of those names, Ryan just seems to fit with a lot of names in a complimenting way as a middle name. My first and middle names are Richard and Alan. I don't particularly like my names, but I think that's just because I don't think they fit me.*shrug* who can really tell why they don't like everything that they don't like?
