Brilliant boy names that go with our short last name?

My husband and I are ttc as of a week ago, and this would be our first child. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t get us wrong, we are extremely excited about the whole thing, but there is a certain something that bothers us. The problem is that we have a short last name that can make some first names sound… odd. So I’m wondering if you berries could help us out here. We like a large variety of names, we aren’t too picky, the only no-no’s are: “creative” spellings, and super super common names. So feel free to suggest as many, (or as little) boy names as you want, and go crazy with the variety, we don’t mind!

Our last name is pronounced like “Key” (Try saying [name_m]Jack[/name_m] Key out loud or [name_m]Brock[/name_m] Key or [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] Key… lots of odd sounds, you see what I mean? It’s tough)

Thanks guys. :heart:

What kind of names do you like? More classic like [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Charles[/name_m] or [name_m]Luke[/name_m]? Vintage like [name_m]Tarquin[/name_m], [name_u]Corin[/name_u] or [name_m]Lewis[/name_m]? More quirky like [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] (the name I chose for my baby), [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_u]River[/name_u] or [name_m]Leif[/name_m]?

Here are a few names I think would sound nice with your surname:

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]/[name_m]Willem[/name_m]/[name_m]Wilhelm[/name_m]
[name_m]Damian[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Octavian[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
[name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]/[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]/[name_m]Maxim[/name_m]

[name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] (my favorite after [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Maxim[/name_m] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m])

[name_m]Just[/name_m] stay away from names that are only one syllable and names that end in K, and I think you’ll be fine. :slight_smile: I don’t know what you like, so I’m just going to throw a lot of suggestions out there…
