Need opinions on names

Baby is due in a few months and we have no definite names for him! We have a few we like but none we love. Your opinions would be great! Names we like:

  • Justus
  • Kingston
  • Amaziah
  • Ozias

Thanks Smile

Thanks for the feedback everyone. We think we’re going to go with Justus and the feedback really helped Smile xx

Personally, none of these names are for me (but that is just me). Maybe Justus or Kingston? Not much help I'm afraid. What about Jason?

ErrantBakedBean · 13/05/2018 20:43

Ozias is fantastic. Pp is right that Justus will be misheard as Justice. And Amaziah will be a difficult name to live with I think. Ozias though - love it.

Ozias is great!

sonnyboo · 12/05/2018 21:02

Ozias is stronger and cooler than Isiah imo.

I do like Isiah but one of my close fiends has a little Isiah so I can’t steal the name haha!

If you like Ozias what about Isiah?

MikeUniformMike · 12/05/2018 14:12

Suggestions:
Justus - Justice or Justin?
Kingston - Kingsley? Kingston makes me think of Klingon.
Amaziah - no
Ozias - Hosiah

Of your list I would choose Kingston.

Kingston Jamaica = cool, Kingston Surrey = a bit pants.

That’s all a bit relative unless you’ve been to Kingston upon Hull!

TatianaLarina · 12/05/2018 10:43

I like Ozias the best.

What about Zachary?

TatianaLarina · 12/05/2018 10:42

Kingston Jamaica = cool, Kingston Surrey = a bit pants.

Cosmoa · 12/05/2018 10:16

I love Amaziah, a friend just names her son Azariah which is similar.

I also love Ozias!

Justus actually reads as Just us.. So not too fond of it! Kingston is nice too but I think of the place in Jamaica.. Which isn't a bad thing! I just think it's not as nice as Amaziah and Ozias Smile

flybabyfly · 12/05/2018 09:25

I like Justus and Oziah.

Thanks everyone :) yes I’m not too sure about Amaziah either but I’m getting desperate for names!!

I really like Ozias.

userabcname · 12/05/2018 07:55

I really like Kingston.

Spam88 · 12/05/2018 07:53

I think I'm with your family sorry 🙈 Ozias is my favourite, really don't like Amaziah because it sounds like amazing (and as amazing as he will surely be I think it's a bit much).

sonnyboo · 12/05/2018 07:34

They're all good, strong, interesting names. My favourites are Ozias and Justus.

Thanks so much everyone :) I’m white British but my husband isn’t so we’re trhijg to find a name that isn’t too hard to pronounce but isn’t too typically English. It’s hard!

Are you white British?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/05/2018 06:19

Kingsley is also nice !

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/05/2018 06:18

Keep quiet about your chosen names, regarding family, announce the name when baby is born,

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/05/2018 06:15

I love Justus 💙
