I am looking for boy name suggestions. 😊Thank you for your help.

( I would not go for names like Daniel or Michael )

Shack I was born in Dalston so I'm a real cock-er-nee. But far too old to be a hipster.

A few more er, less usual names
Bastien (not if you're French, of course)
Edsel
Enzo
Waldo
Zbigniew (but only if if you're NOT Polish)

Marlon
Arlo

I don't know if I'm insulted or not that dc1 has had his name mentioned twice! I did mistakenly think it was more common than it was when we named him.

Balonz is an amazing thread. Just spent an hour 😂😂😂😂 reading it!

As for hipster boys?

Jackson? Always reminds me of the cool kids from American dramas!

Vegan

Then he can say his name and how he eats in one sentence.

Please tell me you’re writing a book and you need inspiration for character names

@ellenjanethicketkickers - Arlo was 48th most popular name in 2016

Pebble21uk · 10/02/2018 11:18

Three newest babies I've known named are Arlen, Indy & Acer.

I love Qwerty, Egg and Boy. Also my own contribution is Slid.

EllenJanethickerknickers · 10/02/2018 11:05

Ah, I came on to suggest Arlo but 20 others have beaten me to it. Is it really top 50? Confused

How about Arthur or Lonnie, short for Alonzo?

Or Nigel?

Better too if you stick a few random foreign accents on the vowels or for deeper hipsterness stick them on the consonants and you're good to go!

Longhairmightcare · 10/02/2018 10:48

Ezra

sumsumsum · 10/02/2018 10:46

What a loser I am. Fell in desperate love with an Iain, married a Keith. But let's keep talking about Ians, it makes me go all warm and fuzzy.

dotdotdotmustdash · 10/02/2018 10:25

1982 (my favourite option)

1969 was way cooler, what with Woodstock and all...

Meandmy4 · 10/02/2018 10:21

Bruce wayne 😂😂😂
I love it !!!

SpoonfulOfJam · 10/02/2018 10:19

Haha. Both my kids names have been mentioned.

I suppose we could call ourselves middle class,because of our jobs. But I shop in top shop and matalan and drink coffee from Costa- about as far from hipster as you can get!

Which begs the question, "What on Earth is a hipster name?"

Meandmy4 · 10/02/2018 10:19

STU ...😂😂😂he is just the coolest guy BRILIANT !!!

FlibbertyGiblets · 10/02/2018 10:18

Gnarls or Gnarly.

NotAnotherEmma · 10/02/2018 10:13

How about the name Cringe, cuz that's what I did when I read the thread title and I have a feeling no matter what name you choose people will cringe when they hear it.

"What a pretentious thread title"

inorite?

MagnusMama · 10/02/2018 10:09

I feel short-changed!
Whenever my son's name is mentioned on MN, people say it's a hipster name... and it hasn't been mentioned once on this thread!

Though he's not at all cool, poor thing, more classic geek really.
