boys names

[ch1134]

I don't really like any! I want to avoid anything really popular at the mo - so no Oscar or Jacob, but want to go for something timeless and strong sounding, but cute on a baby. I'm ok with biblical, and would prefer a name that means something.
Here's what I DON'T like... see if you can find one I do!

Oscar/ Jacob/ Josh/ Oliver/ Milo/ James (too popular at the mo)
William (too royal)
Felix/ Harry/ Jasper/ Henry/ George/ Edward (too posh)
Fred

Husband doesn't like Leo or Charlie so they're out.

I quite like Isaac and Eben, but know boys too close to us with these names.

I also like Thomas but not on a baby... Can't think of anything else!

[DonkeysDontRideBicycles]

Liam
Mason
Stanley

[ch1134]

Thanks, I quite like Stanley.
Keep them coming!

[Wineandchoccy]

Matthew
Daniel
Luke
Lewis
Dylan
Seth
Elijah
Isaac

[ch1134]

Thanks again. Now I can add Stanley, Dan and Dylan to my 'names to consider'!

[IHeartKingThistle]

Elliot?

[BikeRunSki]

Adam
Harvey
Jonathan
Alexander
Matthew
Anthony

Back to the Bible
Timon

Glad we're helping

[soontobeslendergirl]

Jonah (Joe)
Joseph
Miles
Hayden
Innes
Ben/jamin

[notadoctor]

Vincent
Arthur
Ronnie
Ernest
Eli

[notadoctor]

Nathan / Nathaniel

[LaGuerta]

Timeless, classic and not overly popular try

Andrew
David
Alastair
Christian
Peter
Simon
Angus
Fraser
Max

I wouldn't seek out 'cute on a baby' names specifically. Believe me, they aren't babies for very long and all babies are cute regardless of their name. More important to find something with longevity.

[Hamwidgeandcheps]

Zeddakai (sic) best bible name ever!

[Wbdn28]

Samuel
Zachary
John
Nicholas
Ethan
Aidan
Caleb
Ewan
Albert
Sidney
Benjamin
Niall
Ryan
Austin
Michael

[Tommy]

Matthew
Daniel
Timothy
James
Joseph

[ch1134]

Thanks again all.
I really am hard to please but very grateful for suggestions!

Going to lose Dylan from the list as it doesn't go well with surname.
So I'm down to:

Stanley
Thomas
Eben
Leo
Joel

Not really keen on any of the others, and think once I've shown my husband these we may be back to just Thomas again!

[ch1134]

maybe Seb? Still up for suggestions, but certainly have more to think about now

[Norfolknway]

Ezra
Eli

You do realise that your baby will only be a baby for a short while? It will need a name to last its entire adult life. If you like Thomas then go for it. It's my dads name. It's therefore excellent!

[ch1134]

Yes, Thomas is definitely the front runner - it's my husband's grandad's name, and apparently he was lovely, and very similar to my husband (who is also lovely).
I just can't imagine picking up baby Thomas and introducing baby Thomas - though it is a great name.

[Onyabike]

FWIW, I think Thomas is a great name (would have been one of my choices if dd3 had been a boy, along with James!).
How about:
Sam
Kit (Christopher)
Jonny
Hugo
Theo
Sebastian
Noah
Charlie

[ch1134]

I like all of your suggestions onyabike, but some not with our surname, and some have been vetoed already by my husband. Theo is nice, but I knew one and now has negative connotations for me!

[ThisIsYourSong]

Ned

[ch1134]

I love Ned, pretty sure it's also been vetoed! I know brothers Ned and Eben, lovely boys...
Signing out for a busy day...

Thomas at the top
Ned
Eben
Stanley
Leo

[Daffodill27]

Could you not call him tommy? :-/

[Writerwannabe83]

I really like the name Thomas for a baby

I like Sebastian too

Me and hubby are hoping to have a girl because if we have a boy we have no idea what we will call him. Boys names are just too hard!
