A bit stuck for boy's names

Boy Names
1

I’m expecting #4. We never find out the sex before the baby is born, so have always had both a boy’s and a girl’s name ready. Found a boy’s name we were really happy with first time round, but as #1 and #2 were girls, we didn’t get to use it until #3. So now at #4 its the first time in ages we’ve had to think about boy’s names!

Our son is [name_u]Toby[/name_u]. It was my second choice, first choice was [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] but DH vetoed that. The only other boys name I would really love to use is [name_u]Bryn[/name_u], but he doesn’t like that either.

I’ve been hanging out on nameberry for a while now, but still haven’t managed to come up with any other boys names that I’ve fallen in love with. So - am looking for any inspiration you can give.

To give you some idea of my style, other boys names that I kind of like but wouldn’t use for one reason or another include:

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]
[name_m]Zavier[/name_m]
[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m]

I usually like names that aren’t too common, though [name_u]Toby[/name_u] and [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] don’t really fit that category.

I know its a bit of a long shot as I’m a bit vague, but any suggestions?

[name_u]Toby[/name_u] &…

[name_m]Marcel[/name_m] (french sounding like [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m])
[name_u]Kyle[/name_u] (I see it being similar to [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] - not sure why!)
[name_u]Jules[/name_u] (some J names on your list)
[name_m]Connor[/name_m] (I just think this sounds nice with [name_u]Toby[/name_u])
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] (another J)

[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_m]Mitchell[/name_m]
[name_m]Marshall[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]

[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]

Best of luck in finding something you love! [name_u]Toby[/name_u] is a wonderful name, by the way :slight_smile:

Thanks for the suggestions, I see a few names there that I like. Not sure if I’ve found any to fall in love with yet! Though I’ve written a few down to see if they grow on me.

I can’t use [name_m]Bram[/name_m] for precisely the same reason I can’t use [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] (have a friend who has sons by each of these names - there’s actually seven children in all and they all start with B!) I do quite like B names for a boy I’ve decided.

I quite like [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], but not as much as [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] - and I’m not so keen on [name_m]Seb[/name_m] as a nickname. I also kind of like [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], but can’t quite get over the fact that I love [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] so much better! Though if I could get DH to agree to one of those I think it could come to like it.

Other names I quite like from those suggested are [name_m]Julian[/name_m] (used to love this when I was younger, so I think that has “dated” it for me!), Zekiel, [name_u]Schuyler[/name_u]/[name_u]Skyler[/name_u] (I’ve always thought it more a girls name though, not sure if I could see it on a boy or not) and [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] or [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] (except we had a pet rabbit called [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] and I’ve already used the pet cat’s name - [name_u]Toby[/name_u] so might be a bit too corny, lol!)

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_m]Xander[/name_m] might also grow on me . . .

Anyone else have any other wonderful names to suggest?
