Classic but slightly naughty boys names?

50 replies

DS2 is expected soon.
I like classic names; short ( one or two syllables)- our surname is long - and also kind of "naughtiest boy in the class" names -- do you know what I mean?

The current front runner is Charlie
(i.e. Charles or Cathal)

Irish naughty names like Rory I like too.

Suggestions?
Thanks

Freddie and Patrick already used in my family.
dizzydixies neither would fo with our surname.

I like Rufus and Byron though... not sure if DH would go for either....

Another vote for Daniel here (speaking as an owner of said).
But why would anyone want the naughtiest boy in the class name?

I wondered that too!

I've heard that boys names Colm and Callum are considered to be a handful. I love Cathal as a version of Charles.

My mum used to say Williams were naughty boys, who grew into nice adults.

But why would you want a naughty boy? They tend to be expensive, as they are more likely to break a window, etc.

Rory's are always quiet and sweet, aren't they?

Rufus is a great name.

I called my son Daniel. I am nearly 30.

i ran into a classmate (called Daniel) when my Ds2 was a baby, and when he found out I had named my son Daniel, he was aghast.

"Why've you given him the naughty name? All Daniel's are naughty at school, you know that!"

And, thinking about it, all the Daniels I was at school with were naughty

And when I posted my last post, I hadn't read the other two posts about Naughty Daniels.

Apparently Daniel's are both naughty and bright.

Oh GOD he's going to be a drug lord

I have a Rufus and adore it obviously - is it a naughty name? He's certainly a very cheeky not quite 2 year old! (It's usually dubbed as a 'dog's name' on MN!!)

Thomas must be a contender.

you get peeping tom's, doubting tom's and 'tom, dick and harry'

Oh, you mean names of naughty boys!

From the thread title I thought you wanted names like Dick, Willy, Roger etc.

"But why would you want a naughty boy?"

You do realise the name doesn't make the child, don't you?!

Aidan is Irish and naughty (and also adorable )

shooting a bit harsh I think



I wanted "naughty" boys too, in a way. I like spirited hilarious gobby kids. And by god, I've got what I asked for

I wouldn't say Rory was naughty. Nor is it Irish. Dylan is always the naughty but lovable boy!
