You favourite boys names

33 replies

Eminybob · 21/03/2014 12:53

Well, we found out last week we are having a boy! But I'm really struggling to come up with boys names that I really really love.

So can you please help? What's your favourite boys name/your DS's name/what you would name a DS?

Anything considered, but surname starts Mc so would need to sound good with that.

Thank you Grin

Aboy, I like Alister but would spell it Alastair/Alistair/Alasdair.

DS is Leo and I love it completely, even when others didn't like it before he was born.

My best friend at school was Keir and I think it is fabulous and underused.

I also quite like Calum but it didn't go with our surname. DH is Scottish but not a regular surname.

If you've a mc surname I would go with something fairly easy to spell, as your DS will forever be telling people that It's mc, not Mac.

Ooh, similar taste dimdom, I love Asa too. I taught a lovely Asa once; I think his parents were Canadian.

I also adore Ezra, but unfortunately once knew a right wanker with that name which forever put me off it.

dimdommilpot · 21/03/2014 23:07

My top 3 boys names are Arlo, Asa and Seth. If DD1 had been a boy she would of been Zach(ary), DD2 who is due in 2wk would of been 1 of the above 3 if she had been a boy.

waterlego6064 · 21/03/2014 23:03

My total favourite is Arlo but OH doesn't like it so we didn't get to use it for our boy.
