Please could I have a really long list of boys names?

I am finding it hard to find anything much I like, except for names that are "taken" in my family - I probably only like those ones because I know lovely people called them!

Hoping the more names I see the more likely something will stick...

Van Morrison is (George) Ivan - he's pretty cool!

I like Ivan, who cares what jokes r said? I would rather unusual names to common ones but that's just my opinion

Coupon · 12/10/2013 08:58

Evan is very nice and would avoid "Ivan the Terrible" jokes, which I'm sure would get annoying the 100th time you hear it.

Last night I suddenly got the name Ivan in my head (or possibly Evan/Ewan?)

I know everyone would say Ivan the terrible, but would that really be such a bad thing for a boy? Quite cool perhaps? Or is it just an awful name...

MyNameIsSuz · 10/10/2013 21:22

TeWi - I've got a Franklin! I can't tell you how much I love that someone likes it.

I also really love Hugo, Vincent, Tobias, Victor, Theodore, Jasper, Ezra.

Mim78 · 10/10/2013 21:16

Wow thanks everyone, that's lots to think about.

Sunshine: can only think of Ulysses or yoric with those letters - won't be going for either of those though!
