I think Hugo is the best

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/03/2017 19:57

Johnny and Daniel (Danny).
Johnny and Ryan.
Johnny and Joseph (Joe), know two fab brothers with these names.

Would Eddie be short for something? Sorry if this has already been suggested, but I really love Edmund. I think it's elegant and not well used but definitely 'normal'. Eddie on its own is a bit silly in my personal opinion. It's fine as a nn though and I even know one (who's gorgeous). His is short for Edward, which is also nice.

I like Aaron too.

WankersHacksandThieves · 18/03/2017 19:15

Johnny & Keir
Johnny & Edgar
Johnny & Gregory
Johnny & Lyall
Johnny & Dexter
Johnny & Ben(edict)
Johnny & Evan
Johnny & Ewan
Johnny & Callum
Johnny & Austin

*ask not as!

Also... Albert, Kyle, Mark, Luke, Anthony?

user1489577919 · 18/03/2017 19:07

Michael, Matthew, John, Richard, Robert? These are classics that aren't top of the trend right now.

If you're really stuck, as /r/namenerds too because they'll toss you a big long list

I need your help please. I don't love any of these really and can't find any others I love.
I quite like Aaron, DH doesn't. He likes Eddie, I'm not sure
I like normal names which aren't popular
Please suggest some!
Of course we might have a girl in which case she'll probably be Claudia. Love Claude but it just seems ridiculous for a boy!

I think Johnny & Hugo work very well together.

SuperBeagle · 14/03/2017 09:09

I've never heard of John Howard and doubt the next generation will know or care about him

Maybe not in the UK, but they will where I'm from. That's my association. Nothing wrong with me pointing it out.

HarleyQuinzel · 14/03/2017 09:00

I really like Patrick, the others not so much..

Todd really is awful, sorry OP Grin

SuperBeagle · 14/03/2017 08:36

Johnny and Howard is just way too John Howard (former PM of Australia, known for his wild eyebrows) for me.

I like Patrick with Johnny the best.

FatOldBag · 14/03/2017 08:13

Patrick is by far my favourite from the list, a lovely name.

Gummibears · 14/03/2017 07:56

John and Howard (Johnnie and Howie)!

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 13/03/2017 22:56

Patrick: it's ok
Hugo: Lovely!
Todd: Sounds too much like Tod imo. Which means death in German.
Howard (Howie): I thought that was a surname. It's ok, I guess.

Sophronia · 13/03/2017 22:41

Patrick goes best with Johnny

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/03/2017 21:40

Johnny and Paddy.

Joffmognum · 13/03/2017 20:55

My cat's called Todd, it seems weird to name a baby Todd to me. Patrick is the best out of the lot imo.

Sandsnake · 13/03/2017 20:44

Patrick or Hugo (both really nice) by a country mile. Todd comes in a distant third (ok but a bit American country for me). Howard is last by a long, long way, really not keen on that at all.

ineedamoreadultieradult · 13/03/2017 20:40

I think Hugo is the nicest and fits with Johnny. I dont like Todd or Patrick. I like Howard but Howie makes me cringe.

Rockaby · 13/03/2017 20:39

Patrick or Hugo!
