Short baby boy names

I love short names, like Leo, Luca, Arlo, Oliver. My partner hates all of them 🙄 he hasn't really brought anything to the table which is frustrating so need help with some further suggestions! Thanks in advance x

Thanks everyone, some of these are great! He's just extremely picky. Luckily we have a few months to go before baby boy gets here, but at this rate we'll need all the time we can get 😅

Well if he's not willing to suggest any names then just choose the name you want.

If he wants a say in his child's name he can make some suggestions.

I hope you're giving the child your own surname?

I have a Ben, not Benjamin. My brother is Craig.

They're fine - they do the job.
