We recently found out we’re expecting our first baby (yay!). I’m a long-time name lover, but now that we’re seriously considering names for our little one, I’ve realized that there are very few boys names I actually can use and am excited about using. Here are some names I love but can’t use because of friends/relatives:
I also like [name_u]Theo[/name_u], but it’s just so popular right now. Girl’s names I love include Anne/Annie, [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I would say I tend to prefer classic, charming, and familiar names, especially ones with good nickname potential.
Help me brainstorm some other boy name options I can get excited about!
I really like [name_u]Joseph[/name_u], [name_u]John[/name_u], [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u], [name_u]William[/name_u], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], and [name_u]Henry[/name_u]. I also like [name_u]Leo[/name_u], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u], and [name_m]Harrison[/name_m], but we can’t use those names for various reasons. Thanks so much for your suggestions!
I love [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_u]Julian[/name_u], [name_u]Adrian[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Abraham[/name_m], and [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]! [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is also growing on me. Thank you!
These are lovely! I really like [name_u]Julian[/name_u] and [name_u]Jasper[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband suggested [name_m]Rueben[/name_m] and I wasn’t super excited about it, but several people have suggested it here, so it looks like I need to consider it further.
It’s like I could have written that first paragraph myself! We’re also expecting a boy. I’ve always loved names and creating lists, but naming an actual baby is a whole other level!
Theodore nn Teddy or Ted
Henry
Peter
Patrick
Paul
Laurence nn Laurie
Willem
Otis
Otto
Oscar nn Ozzy
Thomas
Alfred nn Alfie
Albert nn Albie
Edmund
Felix
Congrats! It’s nice to know someone else is in the same boat! I feels like such an important decision!!
I really like [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], [name_u]Zion[/name_u], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], & [name_u]Luca[/name_u]. I’m really into [name_u]Everett[/name_u] but haven’t convinced my husband to get on board yet!
[name_m]Ah[/name_m], so many of these are on point! I’m a fan of [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Jesse[/name_u], [name_u]Asher[/name_u], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Ian[/name_m], [name_m]Leon[/name_m], [name_u]Miles[/name_u], [name_u]Milo[/name_u], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], & [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]. Thanks!
Thank you! I love [name_u]William[/name_u] with the nn [name_u]Liam[/name_u]! Also, [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], [name_u]Adrian[/name_u], [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u], and [name_u]Joseph[/name_u]!
Thank you! I’m a fan of [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_m]Willem[/name_m], and [name_m]Felix[/name_m]. [name_u]Laurence[/name_u] nn [name_u]Laurie[/name_u] makes me think of [name_m]Little[/name_m] Women…which is a good thing!
Thanks so much for your suggestions!
Thank you!
