Boys Names

[BoyMumno3]

Hello, I am due baby boy no 3 in October and struggling with names. Initially both my husband and i really liked Phoenix until we shared it with family who all hated it :) I know it should n't matter but did put me off it. I also like short gender neutral names. One we were thinking of which is alot more common and simple but still like is Sam or Sammy. Our other boys are Theo and Jesse. Wondered peoples thoughts on Sam or Sammy. Not keen on Samuel or Samson etc.

I have a Samuel who is called Sammy all the time, can't imagine him even being a Sam. I've never come across another child called Sammy so like the fact that it's unusual but not too out there

[BoyMumno3]

Thanks for reply 😁yes You don’t hear Sammy too often. It’s really cute.

[FluffyEggsontoast]

I actually like Phoenix
You might find your family get used to jt

Also love Sam/Sammy

How about Laurence /Laurie

[FluffyEggsontoast]

No I only know one Sam but no Sammy's - it's lovely OP

Not very keen on Sam. I prefer Sammy, but wouldn’t register a child as Sammy.
How about:
River
Dallas
Robin
Drew
Sasha
Oakley
Madison
Lennox
Harley
Hayden
Quinn
Sydney

Sebastian (Seb)
Alexander (Alex/Xan Pp Zan)

I have a Samuel who was sammy as a baby, but now he's 15 he's definitely just Sam, sammy just seems to cutesy for a strapping teenage boy. However I do know a 7 year old boy called sami

[BoyMumno3]

😁Thanks will keep it on the list.

[BoyMumno3]

Oh brill thanks for list. Out of curiosity why wouldn’t you register Sammy? X

[BoyMumno3]

Thanks for list! Yes think prefer Sammy too x

[BoyMumno3]

Thanks for list x

[BoyMumno3]

Yes did think might shorten to Sam when he’s older. X

Sam is better than Sammy. Sammy is OK for a small child but not as a registered name.

[123Dancewithme]

If you don’t like Samuel then I’d register him as Sam. Sammy seems too cutesy for an official name.

[BoyMumno3]

Thanks for reply’s guys! Dare I ask thoughts on Phoenix?😁not sure why we liked it so much originally but has stuck in our heads.

[MikeUniformMike]

Phoenix - no.
Sam or Sammy - both great
Our other boys are Theo and Jesse. - neither are my taste but not my DS.

[Lelophants]

Jesse is cool

[honeybmain]

Sammy is adorable!

[DramaAlpaca]

I don't like Phoenix, it's too 'out there' for me.

I do like Sam, but not Samuel. You could register him as Sam on the BC and call him Sammy.

[user327253]

I like Phoenix, I've known two of them over the years so it doesn't sound too out there to me.

I'm not keen on Sam but what about Samson instead of Samuel? I prefer Sammy to Sam. Benji is a good variant on Benjamin instead of Ben too.

Theo is nice but way overused now. Every other boy seems to be Theo or Leo or Teddy.

[user327253]

Oh sorry, I somehow didn't register you saying you didn't like Samson .

[VenusClapTrap]

Sam is a great standalone name and you can use Sammy as a nickname when he’s little.

Phoenix - no. I know one and it doesn’t suit him at all. He is quiet and introverted and it just seems like too much of an attention seeking name for him.

[daisypond]

Not Phoenix. It’s too much. Felix?

[BoyMumno3]

Thanks for the feedback guys! Really helped. Will most likely go with Sammy 😁xxx

I have an ex who was Kit, I love this. I have a Cal (Calum on birth certificate) and love it.
