Short boys names

CowParsleyNettle · 27/05/2017 11:00

The great naming saga has started again in our household, looking for short boys names, preferably that cannot be shortened.

Has to fit with a double barrelled surname (this can't be changed as it's his father's name, not a new thing so is non-negotiable, we've already dropped a 3rd family name because FFS who needs three surnames 😂)

DH has suggested Noah and Theo neither of which I am keen on, so far Miles is the only possible.

Ideas please folks!

I don't like any of them 😭

The few I would consider we already have Uncles with those names.

Miles is still the winner at the moment.

Ira is lovely but really not our style, same with Arlo. We're not cool enough as a family to carry those off 😂

BagelDog · 27/05/2017 16:13

Ivan, Hugh, Hugo, Seth, Rowan, Ellis, Jago, Jory, Leo, Leon, Oscar, Miles, Milo, Magnus, Sam, George. If Ira and Arlo aren't your style what is? Need more clues!

John, classic and rarely used for babies now. It would have been my choice if I'd had a DS.

No help but just another vote for Miles!

We loved it but couldn't use it because of surname
