Do you read the hopelessly creative and utopian blog, No Big Dill? The Dill family has five beautiful daughters: Divine, Pearl, Olive, Azure, and Clover, and mama just gave birth to their first son. As of today, he remains nameless.
Let’s help, shall we? They seem to have a predilection for nature names, but the names largely have Christian undertones to them (the family, like many of the most amazing bloggers out there, is Mormon). It will be interesting to see if the Dills keep with the same naming traditions they’ve gone with for their daughters, or if this being their only son will have them opt for a more traditional choice. Will they repeat initials for the first time?
Here are a few names that I feel would fit seemlessly into their crew. What do you think suits this child?
Fisher
Forest
Giles
Heath
Indigo
Jasper
Lauro
Lemuel
Reef
Rowan
Sylvan
Theodore, nn Theo
Zion

How fun! Here are my suggestions…
Auburn
Cypress
Canyon
Haze
North
Stone
Creed/Credence
Loyal
Noble
Valor
Cedar
Canon
Saga
I can’t wait to hear what she chooses!
Love the suggestions of Valor and Noble! I could really see them going in a virtue direction, mirroring Divine.
I love the idea of Heath and North – North always makes me think True North, which makes it kind of a virtue name.
I’d add:
Leaf
Bay
Linden
Foster (vaguely preppy, but I love the meaning)
Sterling (again, maybe not the right vibe)
River
Birch
Jett (too flashy?)
True
I love Leaf, but a virtue name would be great, too!
Loden
Hart
Love Linden and True.
I like Fisher, like a fisher of men, from the Bible. I love all their daughters’ names too!
Well I can’t help with the name but wow, what a lovely picture, so beautiful x
My favorites for them:
Merit/Merritt
Shepherd
Harmon
Others that could work:
Peregrine (Perry)
Meade (although the flow is a bit choppy)
Bishop
Simon
Jude (again, a choppy flow with the surname)
From those already mentioned, I love:
Jasper
Rowan
Reed
Fisher
Noble
Leaf
Loden
Love Merit and Shepherd.
Very cool!!
Agree – I totally love Shepherd for them
How about Royal or Sterling?
My thoughts on names for their little guy are:
Foster
Satchel
Brave
Noam
River
Phoenix
Cedar
August
Forrest
Major
Scout
Cash
Miller
Sonny
I love their eclectic, yet beautiful naming style. And they have some darn gorgeous kids! Congrats to them!
Love Indigo so much. I also love Valor for them!
Additional suggestions (spice names ruled out, I think, due to last name):
Glory (this is my favorite for them)
Branch
Garnet
Hazlitt
Briar
Vetiver
Vigil
I love Briar!
Hmm… Glory, Briar, and Garnet all read very feminine to me. I do like Vigil.
They’re definitely on the sensitive side. hehe. but wasn’t there a Glory
Mercy?
Roux?
and what about birds?
Finch
Oriole
Bluejay
Weaver
Hawk
Nightingale
Lemuel was a funny choice. In the Book of Mormon, he’s an ornery, disbelieving son of a prophet.
When I looked at the five Dill girls names, I thought of Taylor Hanson’s boys: Ezra, River, and Viggo. They would fit in nicely with the Dill family. I’m also a really big Hanson fan.
Oops! You can tell I’m not Mormon.
I chose it because of the meaning, “belonging to God.” I suppose I should actually read the Book of Mormon if I want to go recommending religious names to them.
No worries; Lemuel is a nice name, and it makes sense to me why you recommended it. It’s a good Hebrew name, and Lemuel and his family were from Jerusalem. It just might have a slightly negative connotation in the Mormon community.
Hello fellow Hanson fan
I have to agree totally with River or Ezra, but not Viggo. It’s not a nature name or religious so personally I don’t see it.
I am loveing Valor and Noble. Noble rating higher for me. True, Fisher, Merit and Shepard. Hmmmm. Lots of goodness. . .
My brother’s name is Sylvan and sibling-to-be will be Shepard if it’s a boy. I saw both names brought up here and I think they would both fit in beautifully with the other Dill children! My other suggestions are:
Silas
Emmett
Ivo
Louis
Talon
Reid
Griffin
Storm
Stellan
Finnias
Jarrah
West
…and I love the suggestions Noble, Harmon (it was actually top of my suggestions list until I realised someone had already said it!) August and Peregrine (I know a boy with this name who goes by Pip). Can’t wait to hear what they pick!
Abel
Beau
Blue
Boon
Candor
Fate
Fox
Frank
Hale
Harbor
Hawk
Huck
Jett
Justus
Kane
Keen
Key
Knight
Loyal
Lynx
Mercer
Merit
Quest
Summit
Tru
Vrai
Wolf
Worth
Zen
What about the rumour they have named him Sun, or something meaning “sun”?
Oooooooo, Sol or Sorin or Samson perhaps?
Soren is lovely, but I like it for a girl, actually!
I know it’s a bit random, but I just read this and it cracked me up. For all of you who are pregnant and still undecided about what to name the baby…
Glenn Howerton and his wife Jill Latiano welcomed son Miles Robert on Monday, Sept 12. Thrilled with the arrival of his baby boy, Howerton, 35, admits the couple were left playing the name game at the last minute.
“My wife and I thought it would be a good idea to wait to see the baby first before we actually decided what his name would be … get a sense of the guy,” he shares.
“Then we saw him and he looked like a tiny little baby alien grandpa creature and I was like, ‘I’m not getting any information from this — at all.’”
That’s hysterical! Thanks for sharing.
HA that’s hilarious!

I think this would go best.
I think Shepherd Dill would be perfect! Other suggestions: Rowan, Asher.
I quite like Wren – for a boy or a girl…
giles is so nice. i like wren as well.
I’m totally betting Shepherd or Noble. I just think it’ll be one of those. Can’t wait to hear!
I sent the list below to Katy on the 15th.
Briar
Harp
Forest
Ryan
Sunrise
Leaf
Park
Ocean
Sage
Cain
This is fun! I have 3 boys and I still am in love with their names.
Cannon, Ryder and Miller.
I love hearing people’s reactions to their names but I’m a little sad because most people call Miller, Miller Lite. No, I did not name him after beer. I would love to see the Dills name their boy Cannon Dill. The meaning is a leader of a church so that could work for them.
I like:
Abel
Henry
Wiley
Gabriel
Miles
Rex
Leif
Sterling
Most of these are too out-there for me. I think “Heath” is the best of the bunch.
Just adding mine to the list:
Sage
Stone
Reed
Hunter (I’m partial to this one, I have a “Hunter” at home. =)
Do we know what they chose?
Oh, I just had a look on their website and it said…
I think we’ve decided on a first name and getting close on the middle name.
But no… they STILL haven’t decided!! Hmmmmmmm
Love the girls names! I was thinking something along these lines for a boy:
Bram
Loy
Sage
Soren
Holt
Dash
Echo
Era
Reason
Can’t wait to hear!
Looks like baby’s name is Drummer Zion http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yKB06SOPvuw/TpcF9SsHkGI/AAAAAAAAK9E/DpNlWDAzRXE/s1600/one+month2.jpg
thank you, elisabeth for the middle name suggestion! It’s perfect
