Why are baby boy names so much harder?!?

I really like uncommon (not unusual!) names

Can anyone offer any ideas I feel like I'm really struggling 😩

So far I like Wilf and Evan 💙💙

I work with a lot of children and toddlers and was desperate not to have a name on my caseload, and I still haven't years later. Not been mentioned here either. Can't say as it'd be outing.

Wilf is becoming v popular.
I love Sebastian but DH said no, it is now becoming popular.
The old, classic names are also making a come back.

I love Hector.

I know two 1yr old Wilfs (in London)

Princess1066 · 10/09/2018 22:28

As some of the names on here are equally questionable I had a Great Uncle Horace so I'd like to throw that name in the hat Grin

Teach half a dozen either malachy or Malachi atm.

What about Malachi instead of the Irish version malachy if you have no Irish links but like the name

@SheisMammyof2 Always loved the name malachy but we have absolutely no Irish links on either side of the family so think it might sound a bit odd?
