Struggling with boy names :-(

Boy Names
1

Can anyone give some advice on cute boys names?

I have a daughter called [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and I loved it from the moment we decided on it.

This time around were having a boy… really struggling on name ideas.
Nothing it standing out and I just don’t [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] anything!

Ones I like are; [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] (my fave), [name_u]Blake[/name_u], [name_m]Joshua[/name_m], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_m]Zack[/name_m].

Hubby likes; [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Ben[/name_m], [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] and [name_m]Harry[/name_m] - he keeps mentioning [name_m]Derek[/name_m] also which is a total no no.

Can anyone suggest anything? We both like names which aren’t too common which is why despite thinking [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] is nice its just becoming way too popular.

Thanks for your help!

My fave from your list is [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] as well but it’s too similar to [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] imo.

Maybe these names will fit:

[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]Francis[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Harris[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Zander[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]

I really like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] or [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] :slight_smile:

I think [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] - while they are both great names - are to similar to [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] because of the [name_f]El[/name_f]- beginning.
I think [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] and [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] from your lists go well with big sister [name_u]Eloise[/name_u].

Other suggestions:
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u]
[name_m]Angus[/name_m]
[name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_u]Niall[/name_u]
[name_m]Aaron[/name_m]
[name_u]Neil[/name_u]
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_m]Travis[/name_m]
[name_u]Wade[/name_u]
[name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]
[name_u]Dallas[/name_u] - similar sound to [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Fabian[/name_m]
[name_u]Kyle[/name_u]
[name_m]Fergus[/name_m]
[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]
[name_m]Fraser[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Joel[/name_m]

Thank you for your replies :slight_smile:

I do quite like [name_m]Zander[/name_m] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_u]Kyle[/name_u] is nice too.

[name_m]Joshua[/name_m] is one of the only ones we have currently agreed on but im just not sure. So many have been suggested/discounted by family too which makes it difficult as we don’t want any of them saying ‘I chose the name’

Family are also funny about using names other little ones have so that discounts a few like [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] and [name_m]Archie[/name_m] which I do quite like.

Hiya

I think [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] are too close to your daughter’s name but they are both lovely names.

In fact both yours and your hubby’s suggestions are all nice names except for [name_m]Derek[/name_m]! However a lot of them are pretty common where I am.

However here’s some names I think fit and that you may like:

[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]

From your lists my favourites are [name_u]Blake[/name_u] and [name_m]Ben[/name_m] ([name_m]Bennett[/name_m] or [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]). I agree that [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] is too close to [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and it seems to have gone to the girl’s side recently. I also like pp’s suggestions of [name_m]Zander[/name_m] and [name_m]Rueben[/name_m]. Other suggestions…

[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]/[name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
[name_m]Lochlan[/name_m]/[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u]
[name_m]Harris[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]

One quick thought - [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] and [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] are way too close a pair in my mind. What about these compromise names?

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] - [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]Edison[/name_m], [name_m]Eli[/name_m], [name_u]Easton[/name_u], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u] - [name_u]Blaze[/name_u], [name_u]Bryn[/name_u], [name_m]Bryan[/name_m], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], [name_u]Bryce[/name_u], [name_u]Brett[/name_u]
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m] - [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_u]Jamie[/name_u], [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] - [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_m]Eric[/name_m], [name_m]Ethan[/name_m], [name_m]Ian[/name_m]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Fallon[/name_u], [name_m]Fisher[/name_m], [name_m]Penn[/name_m]
[name_m]Zack[/name_m] - [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Matt[/name_m], [name_u]Pat[/name_u],

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] - [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_m]Thayer[/name_m], [name_u]Carter[/name_u], [name_m]Cooper[/name_m], [name_u]Porter[/name_u], [name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Ben[/name_m] - [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Benson[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] - [name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Harry[/name_m] - [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]

Or maybe run these combos by him?
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
