Baby boy names

What are you mothers naming your baby boys. My boyfriend and I are mexicans and catholics and my bf wants to name our first blessing(baby boy) Cain. Which in the bible is the first child of Adam & Eve, he was also known as the first person to murder another human being which happened to be his brother out of jealousy. Cain also mean warrior and fighter but I was wondering if the name is unique to what you ladys picked out :)

Never did i say i was naming my son after a murder and in the other comment i wrote, i did say that I'm not looking for any names from the bible my bf just happened to fall in love with the name PERIOD! I just wanted to share where that name came from lol me and my boyfriend couldn't stop laughing at some of the comments. Like the day people start to become scared of a kid because of his name will be the day LMAO! And im sure some of you didn't even know the history of the name cain til now :)

My friends sin is Cain. He is a wonderful little boy so when I hear that name that's who I think of.
If we have a boy it will be Jamie Ross. Jamie is from my favorite book series and Ross is my husband's name.

Its your baby name him whatever makes you happy and if other ppl wanna judge oh well... Cain is a perfect name so go for it

I think Cain will be unique because most people would avoid using it. I am curious what your bf likes about Cain's story or if he just likes the name.  I don't think people will be afraid of your son just because his name is Cain. At least, most people will not be.  However, I do think people will wonder why you name him that. If you really like the fact that he's a murderer then that's reason for people to shy away, but if you like the name and the meaning of the story that's different. And you will probably run into people who say things or your child may get picked on for it, but many people might not even make the connection. Personally, I kind of like Cain for a name. I like it better than the name Abel. Basically, I think if you both like it then go for it. Our first boy is named Cole and this baby will be named Adam.

I agree ⬆️⬆️ yeah I wouldn't name my son Cain, after a murderer. I have 2 sons first is Jacob Elijah and second is Noah Ethan. If you want to use bible names there are so many other cute names.

Why would u want to name ur baby after a murderer? Of all the prophets Samuel Elijah Isaac David. Noah is unique i never met Noah but of all the people in the bible to name ur son after. U pick a murderer? Im sorry if its harsh but heres an opinion. People will be afraid of ur son. And names can mold thier life. What would u think if someone named thier son after Charles Manson. I apologies for my brutal honesty on that name. I dont like it.

My boyfriend and I are naming our little boy Persius Levi. I wanted a unique name since mine was unique. But my mom was joking around saying that since the first wreck I ever got into was while I was 18 weeks along in my new jeep wrangler that I should name him Wrangler Levi. Its kinda grown on me but I think my SO would have a cow if I tried naming him that. Haha
