It’s a race! Monty, Django, Zachary...

Boy Names
1

After months (years?) of being subconsciously certain about a girl, bam! He’s a he! We’re a bit lost for names.

Front runners (both of us like but don’t love):

[name_m]Django[/name_m] [name_m]Raymond[/name_m]
[name_m]Monty[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m]

We love the combo of something fun and short (or nickname-able) up front, and longer in the middle.

Grab-bag of ideas:

[name_m]Lucian[/name_m]
[name_u]Raffaele[/name_u]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Alberto[/name_m] ([name_m]Alby[/name_m], [name_m]Berto[/name_m])
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] ([name_m]Dom[/name_m], [name_u]Nico[/name_u])

Off limits but otherwise loved (for inspiration):

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]

I seem to have an Italian naming bent, but we’re Australian with [name_m]French[/name_m]/ [name_m]German[/name_m] background.

Any sweet combos stand out? Thanks friends

I love [name_m]Monty[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. An absolute winner for me! I don’t mind [name_m]Zachary[/name_m], but it doesn’t have the pizzazz of [name_m]Monty[/name_m].

Also like:
[name_u]Raffaele[/name_u] [name_m]Walter[/name_m], also love [name_u]Rafe[/name_u] on its own or short for [name_m]Rafael[/name_m], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m] etc.
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m]/[name_m]Raymond[/name_m]
[name_m]Alberto[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m]/[name_m]Raymond[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m]/[name_m]Raymond[/name_m]/[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]

I love [name_m]Monty[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] from your list!! [name_m]Monty[/name_m] is such an underrated name I’d love to see it used more.

I love:

[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m]

My vote goes to [name_m]Monty[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]! It’s a great combination of quirky/cute (in a good way!) and sophisticated/classical and it has a nice flow to it! From the other names I like [name_m]Otto[/name_m] best.

[name_m]Monty[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is an absolute winner!!!

I like [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] Water but I would love [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].

11

What do you think of [name_m]Mungo[/name_m]? An under-used gem in my opinion.

12

So useful, thanks all!

[name_m]Monty[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] seems to be a big winner.

My only reservation is that the combo is too ‘straight’.

[name_m]Monty[/name_m] [name_m]Alberto[/name_m]?
[name_m]Monty[/name_m] [name_m]Vincenzo[/name_m]?

Haha let’s hope he’s a distinctive looking little fella!

13

I love [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_m]Walter[/name_m]!!

@eliane we ended up going with Otto – back on the forums for number two. Thanks for your ideas :slight_smile:

I really like Monty Alexander, it’s a great name! Otherwise I love Otto, Lucian and Rafael, and Dominic and Tobias are lovely too. I especially love the nickname Nico for Dominic. Congratulations!

Oh I only just saw your last response, I didn’t realise this was an old thread!

I love Monty Alexander
