Boys names beginning with M

31 replies

Bluebirdsky · 06/03/2018 14:17

DH and I both have names that begin with M and he is really set on us choosing a baby name that begins with M too. He doesn't ask for much really so I would like to support this but I am really struggling to find boys names that we like.

We like Max (full name would probably be Maxwell) and possibly Micah although I am still not sure.

For a girl we like Macie, Mia and Madeline (shortened to Maddie)

Grateful for any suggestions Smile

@BackforGood as I said in my initial post it's something that DH would like; fortunately people are different and like to make different choices in life and have different preferences, it's what makes the world interesting rather than boring because we all exactly the same thing!!

Can't think of any that haven't already been suggested, but am intrigued as to Why ?
Why on earth would you want all the people in your house to have the same initial ? I know you couldn't plan it with yourself and dh, but it was one of the "rules" of choosing names for our dc,that everyone had a different initial.

Martin (saw a little boy called Martin recently, he was lovely and his named suited him).
Miles (something about this I like)
Mason (work in education secondary , only met 2 but both lovely)

Miles is lovely, Munro?

MikeUniformMike · 06/03/2018 21:18

Just a thought, but do you really want to limit it to names beginning with M? Pick a name you love.
I love Max, Magnus and Michael, and Miles is quite classic.

Wow so many responses, thank you everyone Smile

Lots for us to look through and consider, Moses is one I hadn't thought of before and definitely like the sound of.

I also love Michael - should have said that! Great classic name.

AiryFairy1991 · 06/03/2018 14:36

Love Michael! It was on my list but DH vetoed because our surname begins with M and he didn’t want an alliterative name.
