Our boy is due August 2nd and he will be our first child. We fell in love with Aiden out of the Baby Name Wizard, that is, until I started doing searches on it and found it to be the most popular name on a lot of the sites. I don&#8217;t want my son to have to compete with 10 other Aidens in his classroom so we were looking for something more unique. I started perusing your site and came across Aidrick, which we absolutely fell in love with as soon as I said it. No other name has done that for us besides Aiden. The hard part now is that we are trying to find a middle name for him. We were thinking Aidrick James Smith, but to me it sounds like a unique name paired with two common names and I didn&#8217;t like that. My husband wants a J middle name so he could call him AJ. Do you have any suggestions on a not-so-common J name that would flow nicely? And by the way, thank you so much for suggesting Aidric on your site, I will definitely be sleeping better tonight! :)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Aidrick Jace Smith<br \/>Aidrick Jagger Smith<br \/>Aidrick Jameson Smith<br \/>Aidrick Janson Smith<br \/>Aidrick Jared Smith<br \/>Aidrick Jaron Smith<br \/>Aidrick Jasper Smith<br \/>Aidrick Jefferson Smith<br \/>Aidrick Jerome Smith<br \/>Aidrick Joel Smith<br \/>Aidrick Jude Smith<br \/>Aidrick Judson Smith<br \/>Aidrick Julian Smith<\/p>\n<p>I especially like to choose a middle name that&#8217;s a name I love but for whatever reason wouldn&#8217;t use as a first name.  So I like Aidrick Jasper Smith, because Jasper is a Twilight name but was also on my list pre-Twilight; I don&#8217;t want to use it as a first name anymore, but love it as a middle name.  Or Jude:  it doesn&#8217;t sound like My Baby as a first name, but it&#8217;s great as a middle name.  For you, maybe you wouldn&#8217;t want to use Jefferson as a first name, since it&#8217;s so surnamey and so is Smith, but it would be a great middle name.  Or Jace blends too much with the S in Smith to be a first name (sounds like Jay Smith), but works fine as a middle name.<\/p>\n<p><span>Name update<\/span> 07-20-2010!
