Hi I have a ds named jack I tend to lean towardsmore traditional names. I was worried Jack would be really popular but he's the only one I've met where I live all through nursery and into school.

We have some names but nothing is making me think that's the one. This is a mix of my names, partners and my 5 year old ds suggestions.

Anyone have anymore ideas?

I have

Henry
Harry
William
George
Charlie
Lucas
Alexander
Arthur
Finley
Lewis
Ethan
Elliot
Thomas
Daniel
Ezra
Oscar
Luca

I'm finding it really hard. Some of those are family names. And Jack is named after a mutual friend who passed away. And he was always going to be Jack or lily.

Open to suggestions, help,

Alexander is a great name. Lots of lovely shortenings and a handsome feel to it.

You’ve got some great names there OP I think it’s going to be hard to ever find one you love as much as Jack because of the significance of the name to you.

I love William (nn Billy) Alexander Lewis Elliot and lots of your others

How about

Eli
Ellis
Rex
Barnaby
Cole
Tristan
Jacob
Joshua
Rory

I think your names are nicer than all my suggestions and are more classic

Are you def having another boy?
