Shortish shortlist

[Lionsntigersnbears]

I'm expecting DC2 in June, a brother for my DD. I like quirky but not too quirky names and whilst i had a great name picked out for another girl, I'm finding boys names a bit trying! Which so you think would be best from these or can anyone suggest others? I'd like a name that goes well with DDs name which is Eliza. The middle name will be James

The short list so far-

Samuel
Arthur
Laurence
Rory
Toby

Thanks !

[Beatrixpotty]

Laurence ,then Rory.The other names are fine but I wouldn't really say they are quirky at all.

[Willow36]

My order of preference would be

Samuel
Toby
Rory
Laurence
Arthur

Other names that I think go with Eliza are
Reuben
Henry
Andrew
Gabriel

[abbyfromoz]

Love all your names (except Toby). Unless it's Tobias - which for some reason i like more.
Esp like Rory and Samuel.

[MortifiedAdams]

Samuel
Like Laurence too.

Also, Max, Finn, Henry

[MumOfTheMoos]

Laurence and then Samuel.

[DonkeysDontRideBicycles]

I'd go for Laurence or Rory.

Samson instead of Samuel?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Laurence by a mile. Don't like Rory or Arthur much, sorry.

[itsnothingoriginal]

Laurence is my fave!

Goes really well with Eliza too (also a lovely name btw)

[baskingseals]

i like Laurence.

what about

Joel

Otto

[DessieLou]

Laurence! How about Jonah, Phoebus, Otis, Flynn?

[fussychica]

Sorry Laurence isn't for me - like Samuel best from your list.

[CheshireDing]

I don't like Laurence at all, sorry.

Samuel isn't quirky though.

Toby and Eliza and Toby James sound nice

[OkayHazel]

Laurence is at the top of my list by a mile. Love Lori/Laurie for a boy.

[soontobeslendergirl]

My favourite from you list would be Rory, but I don't find them hat quirky.

Other suggestions:
Sebastian
Miles
Guy
Crispin
Joss
Rufus
Piers
Hugh

Samuel is brilliant.

Toby is a nickname for a penis whrre i'm from.

[Lionsntigersnbears]

Thanks all! Lots of things to argue over- discuss with DH and some new ones too. I love Henry and Guy too but I expect DH won't. Boys names are harder than girls I think!

[Lionsntigersnbears]

...a penis! really? Cripes sjupes where abouts are you?

[sjupes]

N.e scotland tobias is ok but toby is definitely a willy here same with boab that's a willy too... i have no idea why we use so many boys names for them!

[Lionsntigersnbears]

I'd never heard of that one before! . oops!

[sjupes]

According to the MN collective it's only round where i live - the rest of britain via MN see it as a perfectly normal name :)
