Boys name dilemma!

Hi all, just looking for some opinions please! We're having a boy 🙂 Very excited but we can't agree on names! Dh likes more unusual names and I seem to lean towards 'old man' names?!

Here are some we agree on that have made the list -

Joseph (or Joe)- my choice

Zach - both like this one, but I'm a bit worried it's 'too American' maybe??

Charlie - dh choice

William /Will (added purely because little one did a little kick when I read it out😂)

Any preferences?? Or can anyone add any suggestions? I think we'll go for something quite short, maybe a bit unusual but nothing too much, if that makes sense?!

Thanks! 🙂

zach is my favourite, we would have used it but it didn’t sound right with our surname.

I’m not a fan of Joseph or Charlie .
William is ok,

Joe and Will are my favourites. Cute for a baby, cool for a younger man and sounds professional when he starts a job.

I’m massively biased though as my 5 month old is Will/ William!

Zach (Zachary) is my favourite, closely followed by Joseph.

Joseph Zachary and William are all lovely
Not sure I could pick a fave

I like all of your choices - Joe. Zac, Charlie and Will. Sound like a nice set of four brothers 😀.

I think you’ll easily find something you both like. Have you tried namedtogethet.com?

I prefer Zac on your list and I only know of two young boys being called it.
