Modern but normal boys names

Any ideas?

We are looking for a boy's name that is 'modern', doesn't make them sound like from a different time period or sound old-fashioned, but is still also a normal name and not made up or too out-there..

I've always liked Jason. It's a great name and the origins are cool.

Margot don't worry, not rude at all! It actually is a form of Jason, which is his dad's name and he was born in the 80s!!! Lol

There probably is a Stop in Sarah Palin's family.

meglet my 4 yo nephew is called Aldrin.

MargotLovedTom1 · 31/05/2017 08:12

Sorry I've just seen a pp actually has a Jase, and I've been a bit rude about it. Apologies.

MargotLovedTom1 · 31/05/2017 08:10

Jase just sounds short for Jason which to me is very 80s?

Agree Frazer but I prefer Fraser

megletthesecond · 31/05/2017 08:09

Aldrin.

Old English name but I think the space connection makes it modern. I won't stop until someone uses it.

sluj · 31/05/2017 08:09

Dont use Seth - my 20 year old has enjoyed being one of the few Seths around ever since he was born. We wouldn't want it to get too popular 😉
Btw, if you are in London or the South East you will get lots of Seff.

I think of Seth as a very old name, but if you like it I think of Silas, Amos and Ruben as similar

Emma Ooh I loved Jase too! Had never heard of that name before but it has just the right vibe.

Also really like Arlo but it's recently been used in the family.

Valid I like your list. Silas is a bit like Seth which I love and Arlo and Sebastian just sound handsome somehow! :D

Emma2803 · 31/05/2017 00:20

untilthecowscomehome my son is called Jase!! He is two, love it for him, has a rascal vibe to it and he definitely is a rascal!!

Op I'm a bit like you, like modern but not too modern! Some great names there, I love Seth, don't think it would for with my surname though. I think boys names are so much harder, I was thinking of Luke for dc2 if it's a boy, I don't think it's too over used or old manish, it's cute and not too "cool" either.
