Liven up my list

Boy Names
1

I’m a little tired of my boys’ list, and would like some fresh ideas!

While I was pregnant, there were a few names we really liked for boys, but none that felt quite like “the one”.

So!..

What would you name [name_f]Jane[/name_f]'s (hypothetical) brother?

(A few names I like, but couldn’t use…[name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Callum[/name_m], [name_m]Ian[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], [name_m]Graeme[/name_m], [name_m]Edgar[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m]).

Thank you for your brilliant ideas!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m],

You seem to like the classic names for boys, so I picked some classic names that I thought were cool:

[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]

[name_m]Basil[/name_m]

[name_m]Conan[/name_m]

[name_m]Eamon[/name_m]

[name_u]Gray[/name_u]

[name_m]Leander[/name_m]

[name_m]Otis[/name_m]

[name_m]Maxim[/name_m]

[name_u]Linden[/name_u]

@ccmrath - [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] has been growing on me lately. It’s a more classic classic than I generally go for, but I like it. [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] are lovely as well.

@mj21 - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] list! [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] and [name_u]Linden[/name_u] are right up my alley. I love [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] too, though I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to use it.

We’ve got some similar name choices! My 10 month old is [name_m]Callum[/name_m]!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about these ones:
Fraiser
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Hank[/name_m]
[name_u]Wallace[/name_u]
[name_m]Killian[/name_m]
[name_u]Kieran[/name_u]
[name_m]Edison[/name_m]

I would like a soft classic with [name_f]Jane[/name_f], something a little overlooked.

[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] / [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] / [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Albert[/name_m]

[name_m]Soren[/name_m]
[name_u]Morgan[/name_u]

@oftenoverseas - [name_m]Callum[/name_m] is so handsome and peaceful! Such a fantastic name. My cousin says she wants to use it if she has a boy, so unfortunately it won’t be a choice for me. I love [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] (it was a top contender if [name_f]Jane[/name_f] had been a boy), and [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_u]Kieran[/name_u], and [name_m]Hugh[/name_m] are wonderful too. Thanks for the great list!

@dearest - I’m very impressed with your list of suggestions; my favourites being [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Conrad[/name_m], [name_m]Miles[/name_m], and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]. [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] is actually my very favourite boy’s name, and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_u]Adair[/name_u] were both possibilities when I was pregnant. [name_u]Robin[/name_u] is lovely too!

[name_m]Olin[/name_m]
[name_m]Ethan[/name_m] (or [name_m]Efrem[/name_m])
[name_m]Colin[/name_m]
[name_m]Adam[/name_m]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]

@prairiekeeper - thank you for your suggestions! I really like [name_m]Colin[/name_m], and always have (I think it is wonderful with [name_f]Jane[/name_f] too), but it’s my brother’s middle name, and he hates it! I think he’d be absolutely horrified if I ever used it. I also like your suggestion of [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], though I can’t stand [name_m]Charles[/name_m]. And [name_m]Olin[/name_m] is interesting.

@fionnabhair - thank you you for your ideas! I really love [name_u]Owen[/name_u] (though worry it’s too popular in my area), [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], and [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] (well, [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]) was one of our top choices when I was pregnant, and [name_u]Michael[/name_u] is my husband. :slight_smile: [name_m]Gareth[/name_m], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], and [name_m]Peter[/name_m] have all been growing on me too.
