I’m looking for boys’ names to go with my daughter’s name. I’m pregnant and my partner is very picky; of all the names I like and have suggested to him he’s only open to two. There’s another he doesn’t mind, [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], but we’re both bothered by its popularity here and have decided that we wouldn’t use it.
At this point I feel like I’ve suggested all the possible names I’d consider using including some I’m not even sure about but… nothing. We don’t want anything too common/popular and nothing made up. I guess I’d also say, knowing my partner, that we wouldn’t ultimately use anything too crazy either.
Any ideas that I mightn’t have though of before? Some of my favourites that he’s rejected are [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Bastian[/name_m], [name_m]Caspar[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Kit[/name_u], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_u]Milo[/name_u].
I’m hoping to come across some names I mightn’t have thought about before if that’s at all possible. I feel like I’ve encountered every name and have conveyed all the ones I love/will ever love to my partner! But maybe I’m wrong…
I second/third [name_m]Hugh[/name_m], not only does it work well with [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] but it isn’t as popular as [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] in most places I believe.
If it does come down to those two names your partner is open to, do you feel content with that? If I’m recalling correctly, [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] was your partner’s preferred option last time around. So it seems like you ought to have more leverage for this child’s name.
I don’t have many ideas to add. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like any of these? [name_m]Julius[/name_m], [name_m]Bruno[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], [name_m]Marco[/name_m], [name_m]Tulio[/name_m], [name_m]Conrad[/name_m], [name_m]Hart[/name_m], [name_m]Caius[/name_m]
Oh yes, definitely - I adore both of those names. The only issue is he’s not 100% sure about either, although they’re still the front runners. But I’d use either of them in a heartbeat.
I adore [name_m]Julius[/name_m], [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] and [name_m]Bruno[/name_m]! I’ve already proposed [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] to him (it was a no ) but I’ll try the other two. Thank you!
I wish I liked [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] - it does seem like a good option - but I’ve just never been a fan of it. It’s so similar to [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and yet, for me at least, it lacks the spunk, quirk and youth of [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].
Thank you for the fantastic suggestions! I love [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] (although it’s very popular here), [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and really like [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], Gabriel, [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u]. Some I’ve already proposed but not all so thank you
I love some of these! [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], Alastair, [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m], [name_m]Orson[/name_m], [name_u]Niko[/name_u], [name_m]Alastair[/name_m], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] and [name_m]Roman[/name_m] are brilliant. He’s already vetoed some but not [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] or [name_u]Niko[/name_u], so I’ll definitely propose them to him. [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] ‘[name_u]Jett[/name_u]’ is quite cool too, I’ll keep it in mind. Thank you!
I wish I did like [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] but unfortunately I never have; it lacks something, a certain spark that I feel [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] has in abundance. I do love [name_u]Rafe[/name_u], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m], [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] and [name_u]Rue[/name_u] though, although I’ve always thought of the latter as a girl’s name… but it could be sweet on a boy I think! [name_u]Florian[/name_u], [name_u]Gus[/name_u] and [name_m]Ned[/name_m] are charming too. Thank you!
Thank you for these. I adore [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], but unfortunately they’ve been vetoed already (apart from [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], which my partner is actually open to, although likes it less so than I do). Also, in the case of [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], it’s too popular in my area. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is an all time favourite of mine, I wish he liked it, and also that it was a little less common here in Australia! I also like [name_u]Francis[/name_u], [name_m]Cassian[/name_m], and [name_u]Luca[/name_u]… I’ll definitely keep them in mind (although [name_u]Luca[/name_u] is also very popular here). Thanks!
Thank you for these! I’ve always thought [name_u]Luca[/name_u] was such a lovely name but unfortunately it’s very popular here in Australia. [name_m]Joel[/name_m] and [name_m]Thiago[/name_m] are interesting too, I haven’t thought about them previously…
Thank you for the extensive list! I love [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Franklin[/name_m], [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_m]Leopold[/name_m], [name_m]Maxim[/name_m], [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m], [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_m]Otis[/name_m], [name_m]Phineas[/name_m], [name_u]Rex[/name_u], [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] and [name_u]Wilder[/name_u]. I also really like [name_u]Orion[/name_u], [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] and [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]. One of these ([name_u]Rex[/name_u]) is actually one of the current frontrunners! Although my partner doesn’t quite love it as much as I do so we’ll see.
