Hello,

Our first born is named Frederick, (Fred) and we've just found out that our second is also a boy.

I cannot think of a single boys name that I really like (but did have a list of girls)! So am looking for inspiration please.

Thanks!

Do you mind about popularity @summeryet ?
Do you have any kind of names you like but can’t use? Want a bit more to go with.

Initial suggestions:

Milo/miles
Rex
Alexander
Felix
Rudy/Rudi
Alexander
Barnaby

Thanks so much! There are a few great suggestions in here. We generally aren't fans of anything that it super popular, and the surname begins with 'S', so keen to avoid first names with the same initial.

My first thought was also Lawrence, or maybe Nicolas?

Welcome to the club of never getting to use a girls’ name 🤣 @summeryet

What names in here so far do you like? I’ll think of some more

@MissHenty it's so annoying, girls names were all sorted!!

Liking Ewan, Rupert and Theodore (Teddy).

Thanks all!

Ewan, Rupert and Theodore are all really nice imo. :)
Did you check the initials / make sure there won't be any unfortunate meanings?

How about miles / Milo

Being Danish I can not see Frederick without also "hearing" Christian (the last 20 Kings 19 have been one of the two currently a reigning queen )

I do think Frederick and Christian goes well together.
