Having a hard time picking baby boys first name, eek! Which name/s do you like?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] There,

My partner is so picky so these are they names we have either agreed on or he has said ‘it’s alright’ haha
[name_m]Rocco[/name_m] (we both love this, is it to out there?, DH likes the idea of calling his son little [name_m]Rocky[/name_m])
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] (my favourite for a long time)
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] (both love but we do know someone who has an [name_m]Archer[/name_m] too, not close friends though)
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] (My Poppys name is [name_f]Leoline[/name_f])
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] (I just love this simple to the fact that I think [name_m]Angus[/name_m] [name_m]Stone[/name_m] is gorgeous)
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] ([name_m]New[/name_m] on my list but DH does not like it)
[name_u]Andy[/name_u] (Not one of DH favourites)
I also really like the name [name_m]Joe[/name_m], i think its a beautiful strong adult name but my mother already took that and gave it to my baby brother 18 years ago haha!
I like strong names. When i think of my sons name I picture him as a man shaking someones hand and saying “[name_m]Hi[/name_m] my name is _____”

Middle names
[name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Robert[/name_m], [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] (all family names)

[name_m]Rocco[/name_m] - this is my current bosses name. He is a rough looking Italian man so it fits him perfectly!
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] - so different from [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] but I love this name. I wouldn’t say it is a really strong name though. It sounds softer to me.
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] - love this name and it feels strong
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - I don’t love this name but since it would be an honor name I think it would work. It’s also really popular on here…
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] I want to like [name_m]Angus[/name_m] because it does sound cool but I can’t get past the beef.
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] - Not a fan. I just think of the really gross biker from Sons Of Anarchy
[name_u]Andy[/name_u]- good name but I think of a sporty little kid.

My favorite from your list would be [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m].

I love your names! My favorite combos are [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] “[name_m]Rocky[/name_m]” [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Andy[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Andy[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]

[name_f]Imo[/name_f] I think that if you ended up having two boys [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Angus[/name_m] may be a cute sibset tied together with the letter and number of syllables but unique enough. (I also like [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] and [name_m]Otto[/name_m] together but they’re probably too similar). My favorite names in general from your list are [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], and [name_m]Robert[/name_m]. If you like the nickname [name_m]Joe[/name_m] you could still use the [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] as a name. It could always be honoring that family member, and it wouldn’t be too confusing because they usually call their relatives like Uncle [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] or Uncle [name_m]Joe[/name_m] so I don’t think it would get too confusing. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] I just love as a name. [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] I love as a name and I also think it works well as a middle name as well. Ultimately it’s up to you. I hope you’re able to find a combo you agree upon and love!

My favorite combination is [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u].

Since you both like [name_m]Rocco[/name_m], you could also look at using [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]. And same for [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] - you could use [name_m]Finian[/name_m] instead.

I don’t know if want any other suggestions or not so I will just put a few:
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m]
[name_m]Gunther[/name_m]
[name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]

Have fun!!

I love [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Otto[/name_m]. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] or [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] would be very handsome.

Suggestions…

[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Reid[/name_u]

[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]

Yes I am opinion to other suggestions :slight_smile:

I like [name_m]Rocco[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], and [name_m]Archer[/name_m].

[name_m]Archer[/name_m] is one of my favourite boys names. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] works best [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
I also like [name_m]Otto[/name_m], but I don’t know how you could make it work. I think [name_m]Otto[/name_m] and [name_m]Otis[/name_m] are hard names to make work with any last name, sib set or cultural/ societal setting.

What a great list of boys names! [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Angus[/name_m] and [name_m]Otto[/name_m] were all on our short list too. [name_m]Angus[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is my absolute fav - I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_m]Angus[/name_m] but DH would just not have it and so we compromised on [name_m]Archer[/name_m]. Obviously I love [name_m]Archer[/name_m] too as it reminds me of our little one, but hope you can use [name_m]Angus[/name_m]! [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] also sounds really fantastic.
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] is a tricky one and quite hard to use but does sound very cool. It would be third choice for me along with [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], with [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] it depends on your last name, since it’s only one syllable it might sound a bit short with a monosylabic last name? And let’s face it nobody ever introduces themselves with their first and middle names, so really this is more important that how the middle name sounds.
(Only dislike [name_u]Andy[/name_u], seems like the name of a 35-45 yr old guy to me.)

[name_m]Rocco[/name_m] is great!

Have you considered [name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]?

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] and [name_m]Angus[/name_m], I think that both really fit the criteria of strong and masculine

Other ideas:
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Conan[/name_m]
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
[name_m]Nate[/name_m]
[name_m]Dante[/name_m]
[name_u]Dane[/name_u]
[name_m]Preston[/name_m]
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Fox[/name_m]

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Archer[/name_m] are my favourites from your list.

[name_m]Archer[/name_m] is one of my personal favourites. Its open to [name_m]Archie[/name_m] as a nickname whilst he’s young but the much stronger [name_m]Archer[/name_m] as an adult.

I think [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is cute, but may need a longer form as [name_m]Leo[/name_m] on an adult doesn’t really suit.

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] is another favourite of mine I just can’t seem to make a nice combo with it!

Good luck :slight_smile:

I love [name_m]Rocco[/name_m], [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Angus[/name_m] and [name_m]Otto[/name_m].

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m]

[name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_m]Archer[/name_m]! But I love [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] the most :slight_smile:

My favorites are also [name_m]Rocco[/name_m], [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Angus[/name_m]. I like that [name_m]Angus[/name_m] is unusual but in a good way, I’d love to meet a little [name_m]Angus[/name_m]…nn [name_u]Gus[/name_u]?

[name_u]Love[/name_u]:
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Rocco[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m]

[name_m]Rocco[/name_m] is cool but if you wanted to switch it up a bit, perhaps [name_m]Rockwell[/name_m] which is a little more sophisticated or [name_m]Rocket[/name_m] which is more adventurous and both work great with nn [name_m]Rock[/name_m].

[name_m]Rockwell[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Rockwell[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Rocket[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]

My favorite is [name_m]Leo[/name_m], but I also I like [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] nn [name_m]Rocky[/name_m]!
