Battling over baby names? These dad-approved baby names will help you narrow down your options when looking for the perfect name for your baby boy or baby girl. Whether dad is traditional, preppy, trendy or edgy, he is sure to find the perfect baby name.

Dad likes one baby name – and you like a different one? If you are having a hard time finding a middle ground with picking the perfect baby name, perhaps our list will help. Pick which type of dad describes your man and our list of names can help you narrow down your options.

The Traditional Dad

For All-American dads that love traditional names or family names, this list is for you!  Many men like strong boy names for their sons, instead of unisex names. Sporty baby names also top their list of favorite names. 

For girls, the traditional dad would prefer an old-fashioned name over trendy names, as well as the traditional spelling over creative spelling (Jennifer instead of Ginnifer). Check out our list of names traditional dads would probably like:
