We have very similar taste in names! DS is Leo and I’ve got Eli and Luca down on my list for baby number 2 due in November. I also love Ezra.

Coey2016 · 19/06/2018 18:45

Like Luca, Leo & JUde most

Lycanthropology · 19/06/2018 12:55

I'm surprised! I usually hate just about all mooted baby names on here (don't know why I come) but you have a great list!

I like Bodhi, Otis, Quinn, Luca

Scottishgirl85 · 19/06/2018 10:53

Flynn by a very long way!

WrideD · 19/06/2018 10:46

I really like Jude, Bodhi and Ted, however, one my friends has two children Flynn and Elijah (Eli) and they are really cute together, so I'm a bit biased in thinking they would make great sibling names.

Quinn, I definitely see that as a girl's name and Rex just reminds me of a dinosaur.

sonnyboo · 19/06/2018 10:21

Quinn and Otis!

I agree that Roan could be pronounced like Joan, in one syllable.

Aprilshouldhavebeenmyname · 19/06/2018 09:53

Just Ro an!! Maybe 'up north' accent makes it easier (?)

throwcushions · 19/06/2018 08:39

Oh and I agree with what a PP said. Roan has the potential for mispronouncing to rhyme with Joan / Groan. Better to spell it Rowan.

throwcushions · 19/06/2018 08:37

Pretty much what Jasmina456 said. I don't mind Jude though, and Nate is lovely if it is short for Nathan/Nathaniel.

A lot of your names sound a bit incomplete to me.

BlackberryandNettle · 19/06/2018 08:06

Another vote for Luca or Jude. Same style as Eli (like a nickname of a biblical name?) and they sound good together

HyggeHeart · 18/06/2018 21:19

Love luca and jude!

rebelrosie12 · 18/06/2018 21:14

Luca, rex, Quinn, otis I love these.

No to Ted as there are millions of them!

I have a Rowan (16) and a Quinn (13). Quinn says he unique - there's only been one Quinn in all his schools! I feel things are changing. Obvs love both names but also love most of the others on your list.

narnie55 · 18/06/2018 20:11

Otis. This is one of my choices i love it!

myotherbagisgucci · 18/06/2018 20:09

Flynn

Namethatchange · 18/06/2018 20:04

Is Roan pronounced like Joan?
I think Jude goes best with Eli.

daisypond · 18/06/2018 20:01

Jude or Leo. Jude goes best with Eli (both Biblical names)
