We're having a boy in November, and we're stuck for names! There's plenty of boys names that I quite like but none that are setting my world on fire IYSWIM. I really want a name that I feel passionate about...

We like full names that can be shortened, the more nickname options the better.
Nothing too cutesy, nothing too 'old man'.
I'd prefer it to be a name that's easy to spell, and not toooo unusual.

Easy right?!

We like:
Alexander
James
Isaac
Jacob
Theodore
William
Oliver
Joseph

Inspire me with something? Smile
