@April How can you say Ro an with no ‘w’ sound? Genuine question! Love the name but I’m sat here mouthing it and I can’t do it!!

Octopeppa · 18/06/2018 19:49

Jude or Rex.

blinkineckmum · 18/06/2018 16:25

I like Ed and Nate.

MariaMadita · 18/06/2018 11:02

Luca

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/06/2018 08:40

Eli and Rex, or Eli and Flynn.

MadisonAvenue · 18/06/2018 08:26

Flynn or Jude

Bubblesoup · 18/06/2018 08:20

My favourite is Roan, followed by Nate and Jude. Flynn is nice too.

MollyHuaCha · 18/06/2018 08:06

Leo

MrsMrsMrsMrs · 18/06/2018 08:01

Flynn or Jude

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 18/06/2018 07:59

Oh, and Rowan would be lovely but Roan looks as if it could be a misspelling of a couple of names.

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 18/06/2018 07:59

Luca, Jude and Leo are nice and go with your other boy's name. Otis is OK. The others are too try-hard for my taste.

sonnyboo · 18/06/2018 07:56

Quinn and Rex are my favourites! I only know boys names Quinn and find it a very strong masculine sounding name.

Cosmoa · 18/06/2018 07:46

From your list I like...
Luca
Leo
June
Bodhi

Jasmina456 · 18/06/2018 00:27

Ted could also be short for Theodore of course

Jasmina456 · 18/06/2018 00:27

Luca - fine if you're Italian, bit weird otherwise
Leo - fine
Jude - awful
Roan - don't like it (is it even a real name?) what about Ronan?
Ed - fine if short for Edward/Edmund, defo not by itself
Quinn - has been turned into a girl's name by Americans so potential for bullying; don't like it anyway
Nate - fine if short for Nathan, by not by itself
Bodhi - hideous
Rex - dog name
Otis - bit weird but it's ok
Ace - appalling, very cheesy
Flynn - hate it. Finn is much nicer
Ted - fine if short for Edward/Edmund, but not by itself.

Luca - Lovely name, a little trendy at the moment. Goes well with Eli.
Leo - Too popular. Goes well with Eli though.
Jude - Nice, sweet, classic.
Roan - Nice. Unusual. Maybe some people would say it incorrectly though.
Ed - As a nickname to Edward, but not a strong enough name on its own.
Quinn - Okay, but can't see it on a boy.
Nate - Short for Nathaniel, but on it's own it's a bit weak.
Bodhi - Love it, but it's becoming a bit trendy. Works well with Eli.
Rex - Dogs name.
Otis - LOVE this name!! Not sure if it goes with Eli. This is my favourite name on your list though.
Ace - More a pets name.
Flynn - Okay
Ted - Too dated and a bit bland.

HelveticaNeue · 18/06/2018 00:09

Luca and Roan are lovely

LarkDescending · 17/06/2018 23:49

Leo

Pepper123123 · 17/06/2018 23:30

Luca

That's one of my baby names too 😍

clairewiththehair · 17/06/2018 23:29

I like Luca and Bhodi from the list the best. Ed is a good name but I think it being Eddie is better.

Sophronia · 17/06/2018 23:26

Rex or Otis

Jammycustard · 17/06/2018 23:09

Roan or Otis.

neurotransmittens · 17/06/2018 23:04

For a brother to Eli, I like Nate & Luca from your list
But I love Ted too and don’t think it’s ‘goes’ with Eli at all as a sibling pairing

bridgetreilly · 17/06/2018 23:00

Leo.

Icklepup · 17/06/2018 22:53

I like Leo and Otis
