Boys names??

18 replies

fragglerocks · 26/01/2011 22:46

DH and I are TTC#1 and have girls names which we love.
Juliet nn Lettie and Isobel nn Izzy
Boys names are proving much more difficult!

So far we have:

Leonard nn Leo, Lenny (Named after FIL)
Jacob nn Jake (Version of my brothers name)
Toby (I just like it!!)

Middle name will be Andrew, our surname is 6 letters long beginning H.

We don't want anything too unusual as DH has an unusual name which he hates! Also don't want anything too popular!!

Ideas please!

Thanks, Leo is really starting to grow on me.

Whilst I love our girls names I just like the boys names, I want one I love!

I really like Jacob Andrew with nickname Jake.

Not particularly keen on Leonard or Toby.

Juliet is lovely, Isobel nice too though v. popular.

Here are a few more ideas:

Laurence
Conrad
Justin
Marcus
Francis
Harvey
Lewis (maybe not if your surname is Harris)

Quentin Andrew Hollis
Leo Andrew Hollis

Is it just me who can't see Quentin without there being an invisible "Uncle" in front of it?

evamummy · 28/01/2011 13:19

Although I have read the Famous Five, I've met so many other Quentins that that association is no longer there for me Smile.

Apart from that Quentin Tarantino of Quentin Blake spring to my mind...

I like Leonard but am not keen on Toby or Jake. Also think Daniel Andrew, Quentin Andrew and Elliot Andrew sound lovely.
