There must be a name I like

Seriously... there must be a name I like, right? Looking for a boys name, can’t find any that I like. How hard can it be? I would love something not too traditional and with a nice meaning - anything nature or sea inspired is a bonus but to be honest, I just want one that I love! Names that I like but can’t use for one reason or another... Felix, Jasper, Cillian, Cole. I quite like Sterling but don’t love it. Help!!!

Wow this is so helpful! Thank you everyone. I can’t keep up with you all but here is where I’m at:

I love Eben (but I feel we should use a full name and I don’t like ebeneezer)

I like Orion (different but hopefully not too out there)

I like Acer and we loved Ace but thought it was too crazy so maybe Acer is less crazy!

Ooh I really like Aubrey but I know three girls who have been named this! I know it’s a boys name but it feels like girls are taking over. I liked Eden too but worry that’s the same!

Have you had the baby yet? We always waited to see what they looked like before choosing a name.

Haha I think that’s the problem apples, I’m avoiding names friends have used (not that I love many as I’m so picky!)

Komorebi · 20/05/2018 20:23

Would you consider making it his middle name? I don't see why your friend would mind that
