Hi! Why is picking boy names so hard? We have a 2.5 year old BOY named Story. Any boy name ideas that go with it?! We love unique, odd names, but they have to be super easy to say and pronounce. Currently our runners up are Smith and Oaklen but we aren’t sold on either. Would love any ideas!

Smith is One that I do appreciate because it’s such a basic last name that people kind of overlook it but I will say that there is no bigger trend right now for boys than surnames especially one syllable ones so this does not seem unique or odd at all. He will have classmates named Jones banks Wells Mills Brooks etc. totally run-of-the-mill super trendy.
Oaklen/Oakley/Oakleigh is also like a whole trend in and of itself so truly and the nicest way I would completely scratch those if you want something even remotely unique. They don’t seem at all the same style as story to me.
Ideas…..

@greens278,
thanks so much! I’m so bummed that Oakley has become so trendy! It’s actually been my girl name since I was 15! We are team green and our girl name as of now is still Oakley but I’m definitely getting worried about it being too trendy. I thought Oaklen for a boy would be a little more rare. Love your other suggestions!

My favorite boy name right now is Rook. It’s between that and 2 other more classic names for us right now. I think it goes well with Story which I also love btw!
