I like Tim and Andy, but DH doesn't.

We have talked a lot about Peter, but I don't really like Pete. Is Peter still a nice guy name?

I was raped by a Pete in college, so not a nice guy name to me. (I realize that's not a universal quality. Still. Gives me shivers.)

Patrick or Jack would be my choices. Nate is good too.

Discretion is the better part of valor, PP.

Andy, maybe, but not "Drew" or even 'Andrew.'

Every Drew/Andrew I've known has been a cheater, misogynist, or had some form of or narcissism or severe personality disorder.

You don’t know my son, then. Andrew.

I think I know you IRL. and you are super uptight.

FWIW, I agree about "Andy". Love that guy.

Another Adam's mom. I was going to suggest it. My Adam is nice. All the Adams I knew from my generation were nice, too. I think it's around 65 in the SS index top baby names.

Jim from "The Office" is the kinda guy you're looking for, right? Jim!

Bob's a jerk. For real. Do not Bob.

Sam is a nice guy, too.

Everyone's interpretation of which names are nice guy names will be different based on actual ppl they have known w the name...for me, the nicest guys that I know are: Joe, Ben, Henry, Harry, Dan, Rob, John, William, Barney, Ezra, Andrew, Evan, Chris

Take from that what you will

Names that I have bad connotations w are more plentiful and I won't list them bc who cares but I'll just say that I've never known a Matt or a Jason who wasn't kind of a jerk. Also seem to be a lot of bad Joshes and Tylers out there

Are you saying I should be discrete about the person who raped me?

The OP asked for opinions about names. I shared mine. It's authentic. Deal with it.

No way! My brother-in-law is a Jason and one of the nicest men I've ever met. I also have an ex-boyfriend named Jason, but the niceness-factor isn't why we broke up.

Good luck naming your kid, OP. I'm due in a couple of weeks and can't come up with a boys name either!

No, she was not suggesting that you should be discrete. She was suggesting that you should be discreet.
