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

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

Bitcoin

Trans

Slateforplate (Slate for short)

Failing that I loved Fixie, Flatwhite and Obsidian and was also surprised how long it took for Rogue to be suggested.

OP are you serious?

LynetteScavo · 10/02/2018 08:43

Duh- I read the thread tittle wrong - I thought you wanted a middle name.

I still like Vinyl, but it has to be Albert.

Albie or Bert for short.

LynetteScavo · 10/02/2018 08:40

I particularly like Vinyl as mentioned up thread.

Bob

or

Hercules

depending on the first name.

My best pal is called Ian, but he’s not cool although he’d claim to be the coolest of the cool!

Something like Derek would be legitimately hipster now - very rarely chosen. Names like Wolf, Blaze etc are for wannabe hipster sheep trying to be cool.

What is wrong with Michael?

You don't get to decide if your son is going to be a middle class hipster boy, he will when he's older Biscuit

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 10/02/2018 08:09

Surely to be a true hipster you need to be ahead of the curve, and actual names are so mainstream why would you inflict one on your son? Instead, he could be known by a facial expression - a smug scowl would be ideal. Alternatively, give him a name - Plimsoll would be lovely - but never actually say it. Instead print off a flash card with the word written on it, and hold that up every time you need to use his name.
