Need some inspiration for boys names

[hettienne]

We already have a Theodore.

DP has vetoed all my suggestions so far - Alexander, Hector and Jude.

He likes William (family name), I like Bill but William is top 10 and maybe too common.

Inspiration for not trendy, less usual, but "proper" names would be gratefully received

Ambrose
Anthony
Peter
Jonah
Frederick

[hettienne]

Ooh really like Ambrose and Jonah. DP says Jonah is an unlucky name

[Lubiloo]

We have a Quentin. Or how about Dominic, Patrick or Clement?

[BikeRunSki]

I know the biblical Jonah was not very lucky, but Jonah is also the name of my baby nephew who is very sweet and happy, and a much wanted third and brother to two girls so it has a positive connection for me.

Caspar, Rupert, Joel, Bertram?

[MsJupiterJones]

Lawrence?

[Alanna1]

Arthur
Oliver
Eden
Axel
Adrian
Rufus
Felix
Fergus
Jasper
Joshua

[hettienne]

Thanks all, still nothing jumping out at me though I do like Caspar and Jasper. Theodore was the only name we could agree on last time so starting to doubt we'll find another one!

[NachoAddict]

Daniel
Jack
Thomas
James
Jacob
jeremy
Oscar
Rupert
Max

Reuben?

[CordeliaRose]

Barnaby
Bennett
Dominic
Donovan
Elliot
Ellis
Franklin (continuing the Roosevelt theme)
Linus
Nicholas
Rafferty
Roderick
Sebastian
Thaddeus
Xavier

[NewbieMcNewbie]

I know a Jonah - it's not unlucky. Names do not confer meaning or symbolism on children.

[NewbieMcNewbie]

Btw, I like your suggestions. Don't like William - ubiquitous now.

How about Leo, Max, Miles, Arthur?

[soontobeslendergirl]

Hayden
Gregory
Nicholas
Emerson
Alastair
Hamish
Miles
Piers

[hettienne]

Linus and Reuben both going on my list.

We met a little Dennis tonight..... I thought it was pretty fab, his parents seemed cool too
