Thoughts on these names?

I THINK we like these as first names: Abel

Luther

Potential middle names or names I like but have been vetoed:
Valiant
Valour
Valentine
True
Rohan
Zion
Zephan
Art
Cass? Cassius? Cassian? Caspar?
Red
Orion
Phoenix
Boyd

Can you expand or reduce this list!?!
(I hate boys names)

I thought the first list was quite normal! 🙈😂

Ha! Yes that might be taking it a step too far! I was looking at boy versions of Faith, Hope and that cropped up!

I'm more concerned about the first list as can't even decide on a first name yet!

I think Tom is boring but there is a middle ground between Tom and your list.

You can, but I'I just imagining his best man's shoulders shaking at his wedding when his middle name is revealed to be 'Valiant'.

No I have three children with slightly unusual names so I don't think Tom will fit!

I think the second list is my hormonal crazy holy side emerging which is why my husband is saying no! But I think we can have an unusual middle name?!

I have three children already and found naming the two boys very difficult. Girls names are so much easier!

Aah, hormones.

Soon as he's born you'll call him Tom Grin

Otis.

NameChange30 · 11/11/2016 08:59

I didn't like the names on the first list but then I read the second list and decided the first one wasn't so bad after all Grin

Why do you "hate" boys' names? Confused There are some lovely boys' names out there.

Are you completely set on something very unusual?

Abel or Ivan are great. Abel as first choice if I had to pick.

The rest are far too try-hard IMO.
