Help- I hate all boys names!!

Halfpastfreckle · 13/08/2018 13:27

Baby due October and have several options for girls names that I am happy with. Boys names are so hard!! I have a son called Louis and I still love his name although it is a bit more popular than I would like. I need some suggestions desperately I have been through so many websites and endless ONS lists.
Possibilities (but none seem quite right):
Sonny
Albie
Brodie
Rudy
Woody
Perry

Bit of a theme with the sound of them which is unintentional!

Please help with comments on my list or some fab suggestions! Going mad

I like Sonny and think it's fine for a man I know a man named Sonny and a little boy I also like Albie. Woody is a word for erection I'm in North East not sure if that wow be the case everywhere. Some names I like and also some little boys I know - Jude , Arlo, Finn, Rowan, Rory, Arthur gets Arty ,

Aww Smile good for you OP.

kirta · 13/08/2018 21:23

@GreatDuckCookery thank you! We have had such lovely reactions to his name, amongst just a couple of raised eyebrows. He's a lovely little boy, and the only one I know with his name! Grin

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 13/08/2018 21:14

I like Woody, Kirta. Makes a nice change from all the Jacks and Harry's Smile

kirta · 13/08/2018 21:10

My little boy is called Woody. I thought about Edward or such and using woody as the shortened version, but I loved the name woody so went for it. I get that it's marmite, but he has a more traditional middle name too.
As for the erection connotations, it's not something that I've heard of a lot.
I like all on your list. I would question Perry, only because I think of 'Pear Cider'. Which I guess is far more palatable to some people than 'erection!' Grin
