Our first son is called Noah Henry Ying xxxxx. Our surname is single syllable, beginning with F. My wife has asked me to make the final decision on our next boys name. Together we have got it down to this shortlist for first names. We are willing to go a little bit out there with first and middle names. The third name will be a Chinese name as my wife is Chinese.

Morgan
Caden
Everett
Jacob
Atlas
Ares
Caspian
Orlando
Kingsley

Any and all thoughts very welcome!

Of your list, I think I’d use Jacob which is lovely but Kingsley is pretty cool Smile if you’re brave enough!

From your list I think Everett, Jacob, Caspian and Kingsley are the best. I do prefer Caspar over Caspian though.

I really like Kingsley but Jacob does go nicely with Noah. Jonah is a really good suggestion (but I'm biased because I have a Jonah!)

I'm ruling out Jonah, Isaac, Theo and Charlie despite being quality names as they are all taken by cousins children.

Thanks for the suggestions and feedback.
I'm dropping Orlando from the shortlist. Some further information, I'm considering Morgan and Caden as they have a Cornish link and I am half Cornish. Although I feel they both have drawbacks(Morgan is used for more girls than boys in the Usa and Caden is perhaps common because of Jaden, Kaiden, Haden etc?).
I'm adding Cole to the list, I like that thank you. Would also add Hugo but my wife doesnt like names that end in 'o'.

Orlando, Caspian and Jacob are my favs. I might choose Caspar over Caspian.

I love Cornish names but I’d find another one because I think Caden is too like Kayden which is über chav. Ditto Morgan and Cole.

Ah dont want chav. A little difficult for me to tell always what is or isnt chav, fashionable etc at any particular time because we are not in the Uk now, but I feel like we should pay attention to it as we may move back in the future.

I like Jacob quite a lot now, but dont like the nickname Jake.

Jacob or Caspian.
Stylish and fit well with Noah.

I would agree about Caden sounding slightly C word but I’d disagree that Cole does x

The Jacobs I know do not go by the name Jake. One goes by “Jay” though which I really like

Morgan and Caden are a bit ‘chavvy’ (sorry). What about Caleb?
