Tough boy names

We love these names because they have a tough, confident air to them, which often happens when you add the letter “Z” or “X” to a baby name (such as Axel or Zander). Names like Hercules or King, however, would make it seem like you are trying too hard, while names like Rocco or Gunner stand out on their own as tough names. Check out our picks below:

u dudes are ing homo dip losers

i like the names trader and henley for a boy and for a girl i like storm

What happened to carrying the Mother's family name as a middle or extra name, as in John Fitzgerald Kennedy? Is the mom just a carrying vessel? I've a middle name & both my parents' names - always been proud of it. To me it shows me like a tree w/roots.

We have a surprise baby #7 on the way and he will be the 6th boy in this family. My top picks this time around were Brady, Flynn, and Reid or Reed. We settled on Greyson together as it starts with and gives him all the letters of of his father's name, ends similarly to mine, and begins and ends with the same letters as his late great grandfather's name. Now we are struggling to find the perfect middle name. His brother's all(besides one jr) have hebrew names which I love but dad wants something with a little swagger. Any suggestions?

don't you just hate it when people think if you have heaps of children then you are ferral. well, I have 9 kids and we are all catholic and my kids go to catholic school. these aare there first and middle names: jett preston 5, jagger trey 3, thorn Lincoln 2, colt greyson 2, ryse jamisson 1, nash baley 6, Harley pierce 7, billie rose 4, rusty reid and sunny jaye. I have 1 sister and 3 brothers: Jackson Edward, james craig and oliver josh and my sister is maddison storm. I hope u guys can use some of childrens names:) gooooood luck

"Ajax", seriously? Why not "Robitussin" or "Propecia"?

I love my daughters name & it wasn't common 11 years ago...Marissa Isabelle. I'm now pregnant with a boy and his name will be...Brooks David. I didn't know it was a swag name until now. Brooks is my mothers maiden name. the David well...I always said if I had a boy David would not be a part of his name. Now that I am having a boy I can't not have a David considering every important man in my life except my stepdad has David somewhere in his name...My dad, brother, two uncles, cousin, Brother in law, two nephews...can't let my son be left out of the group!!

I think some of these names are pretty awesome and masculine but when I get married and have kids I've always wanted to name my boy Otto what do y'all think about that name Otto Stam?

I have got 7 kids and their names are very unique and are very swagger. going on 8 there all boys but im pregnant with a girl. n order: jett 6, jax 5, colt 4 , boston 4, Lincoln 4 then I have twins nash and Harley.who are 2. my girl is gonnna be shaye. I have 4 brothers and their names are, Braxton 36, josh, 31, rusty 39, and Flynn who is 40. I am 32

So what do you guys think a good middle name for Leo would be? Maybe more in the Hispanic sounding name? :)

These are all really interesting, but there are two on this list that make me cringe: Faust and Thorn. Seriously? Please do not burden your children with those names. Talk about issues! This is about giving your child a name to be proud of, not one that's going to scar them for life. For those who live under a rock, Faust was also the last name of a character that SOLD HIS SOUL to Satan. Thorn will be sure to keep your child out of any serious white-collar business when he grows up.

My older son's name is Jayden which I love but is very common, so when we found we were having another boy I really went for the un-common Sebastian however now I'm hearing that name everywhere... I still thinks it's very masculine though

What's a cool first name to go with Matthew as a middle name?

Our 3rd son is Pierce Andrew.

My sons name is Christipher Joseph I think that is a strong name, especially for a little boy that almost didn't make it through an extreme emergency c-section. His name fits him perfectly, my little CJ :)

I don't have a boy yet but my daughter's name is one of a kinde and its sahara Mae balchick but when I do have a boy I have 2 perfect names thorn. Or Titus ..

My grandson's name is Dane and I've always thought that is a very strong name

I am 58. When I was growing up, the only Sidneys out there were old men. It was a male name. I hated being different and weird. Now that it's a slightly more popular name, I like it OK, but I still wouldn't give my children somw unusual name that they have to spell out for their entire life. Since people seem to spell my name with a Y instead of an I, I have to spell it. My last name is also one that I have to spell. It's a pain in the rear. I've also been a teacher for many years, and know that kids get annoyed when people mispronounce their names, but when their names are odd, no one has a clue how to say it. I don't like the trend of making up or finding such unusual names for kids.

these names are great! My nephew is going to be named Ryker. They wanted a strong name for him and also something different as well. I love it. My son has an extremely unique and uncommon name- Trayson. Pronounced (tray-sun) I love his name! It's so different. I have a majorly common name and always disliked it growing up because there were so many people I knew with the same name.

I like unique and different names I have four boys and another on the way and I am absolutely in love with their names. Mind you they are kind of common and the twins' names are pretty similar but I think they are unique. They are: Aedyn Levi and Andrew Lane, the twins, Jace Liam, Jacob Blaine and, for my fifth I got a little Biblical with Gideon Mathias. I think they are all kind of different and unique. My husband's names is Titus Joshua and he has a younger brother named Alexander Esau (he goes by Xan) so we all have unique names. I just wish, looking at these wonderful names, that I would have researched a little bit
