Boy Names

I love [name]Benjamin[/name] as my top boy name followed by [name]Samuel[/name], [name]Cole[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Luke[/name]. My fear is that these are pretty trendy and when my child gets to school, there will be multiple names in the class. I’m a teacher and already have 2 [name]Jacob[/name]'s, 2 [name]Max[/name]'s, 2 Michaels, and 2 [name]Leo[/name]'s in our K classes.

Any other ideas that aren’t too unusual, not too trendy (at least not in top 20) but sweet/masculine at the same time?

BTW: I also like [name]Harrison[/name] :wink:

[name]Loren[/name]
[name]Zeke[/name]
[name]Pace[/name]
[name]Moises[/name]
[name]Dathan[/name]

I have a similar taste for boy names.

Would you consider [name]Bennett[/name] instead of [name]Benjamin[/name]?

What about [name]Jonah[/name], [name]Gabriel[/name], or [name]August[/name]?

I’ll nominate my son’s name - [name]James[/name] (nn [name]Jay[/name]). He likes it and has always been the only [name]Jay[/name] in his classes.

Expecting twin boys in [name]April[/name], tentatively decided on [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Charles[/name] & [name]Edward[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] (nn [name]Drew[/name]). I expect we’ll see more Olivers than Jays or Drews.

I do like [name]James[/name], but it’s the name of my husbands good friend and co-worker and he finds it a little strange. He did like [name]Bennett[/name] better than [name]Benjamin[/name] and I like both.

Keep the suggestions coming! I appreciate your thoughts!

I love [name]Benjamin[/name] too :slight_smile: Some other ideas:

[name]Abraham[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Frank[/name]
[name]George[/name]
[name]Louis[/name]
[name]Marcus[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]Peter[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Stephen[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Vincent[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]

Any of those appeal?

Or another alternative to [name]Benjamin[/name] is [name]Benson[/name]. I am due in 7 wks and I find boy names really hard. I do like B boy names though. We like [name]Bowen[/name] ([name]Bo[/name]) or we may spell it [name]Bohan[/name].
