Baby boy name for surname Smith

Our surname is [name_m]Smith[/name_m]. We tend to like fairly traditional names, but names that aren’t overly common.

We are considering:

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_m]Phillip[/name_m]
[name_u]Linden[/name_u]

What do you think?

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] is gorgeous - though my preference is the spelling [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_m]Phillip[/name_m] is nice, not my favourite but nice
[name_u]Linden[/name_u] is nms and I’m really not a fan

I’d definitely go with [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_m]Smith[/name_m], it’s beautiful :slight_smile:

I do like the name [name_m]Phillip[/name_m], but his initials would be PS, like a Post Script at the bottom of a letter. That makes me stop for a second.
If you do go with [name_m]Phillip[/name_m], please make sure his middle initial is not M, that would lead to so much teasing growing up

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] definitely has my vote! It’s a great name! [name_m]Philip[/name_m] would come in second with [name_u]Linden[/name_u] as a distant third.

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] - yes!
[name_m]Phillip[/name_m] - No!
[name_u]Linden[/name_u] - nms

What about [name_m]Leander[/name_m]?

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] would be my favorite.

It’s a tie between [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] and [name_m]Phillip[/name_m]
