Have some lovely girls names but struggling to find boys names!

Would love James for middle name but open to changing if the right first name comes along. Also surname (pronounced Linkofski) is difficult to pair with a first name.

All the names we have liked sound too much like my sons name, Damon (Caden, Aiden, Dylan, Byron etc etc)

Any suggestions welcome :)

I was also going to suggest Zachary. I would avoid anything beginning with a B to avoid the initials BJ.
Also what about..

Quentin
Ethan
Ross
Russell
Ryan
Frederick
Nathan
Aidan
Jacob
Edward

Charlie James sounds lovely Smile

I know it's another an but what about Evan? Doesn't sound anything like Damon.

Mark? Mark Linkowski sounds cool.

Alistair/Alastair?

I think, with your surname, a classic pan-European name would be a good choice.

So yy to Alexander.

And how about Marcus, Ferdinand, Maximillian (nn Max), Henry, Charles, Phillip, George?

I really liked Frederick James for DS, but our last name is one syllable ending in s, so James didn't sound right. I still occasionally have a little wobble and think we should have just gone with it anyway!

I thought Rowan when reading the title. Is that too close to Damon?

I like Andrew James.

DS has James as a first name and Edward as a middle, I think they go nicely together, our surname also begins with L.

James, just James.

Re the Alexander/Alex issue, we have an Alexander who has always been known as Xander and quickly corrects anyone who uses Alex as a nn!!!

Just a thought!

Edward James Linkowski

Your surname has an elegant sound to it.
