So, I found this image on Facebook today:
I posted it just for fun, but I got some interesting feedback as well.
So, I decided to create my own list!
For me, I wanted to cross #5 off the list automatically, because of my past. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
Although, I thought it was interesting to see mostly Biblical names on this list (this is the researcher in me coming out):
- David – Well-beloved, dear, beloved, King
- Andrew – Manly, strong, courageous, warrior
- Daniel – Judgement of God, God my judge
- Paul – Small, little, humble, few, modest
- John – The grace or mercy of the Lord, Jehovah’s gift
- Simon – That hears, that obeys, he has heard
- James – The Greek form of Jacob, supplanter (to take the place of another, as through force, scheming, strategy, or the like)
- Stephen – Crown, crowned, wreath, honor, reward, that which surrounds or encompasses
Anyway … Here’s my list! Notice that it’s not numbered. “Top” lists are for ranking things, usually from best to worst, or based on number of votes.
Here, rank doesn’t apply. These are the names of men who I know will be (or already are) awesome husbands.
- William
- Alfred/Alphonso/Albert/Alan
- Steven/Stephen
- Nicholas/Nick
- James/Jim
- Bruce
- Andrew/Drew
- Justin
- Joseph/Joe
- Jake/Jacob
- Jesse
- Nathan/Nate
- Matthew/Matt
- Robert/Bob
Frankly, your name and/or what it means doesn’t matter.
As long as you’re a good person and you treat your spouse lovingly and with as much support as you can, that’s what counts.
Anyone can be the best husband (or best wife, best boy/girlfriend, best partner).
It’s your choice, and yours alone.

Until the next headline, Laura Beth 🙂
Where is the name Vinnie? Haha, I’m just kidding.
Haha! Believe it or not, this post continues to be well-read and well-viewers, even several years after I first posted it.
I can see why it would be popular.
