Short-ish boys names

36 replies

Bearcub01 · 29/11/2020 13:20

We are finding boys names so difficult. My OH doesn’t like anything but Arthur which I have ruled out. Surname is Milligan so I think we need something one or two syllables maximum!
These are some I’ve suggested, any thoughts or options on shortish names please?

James - classic family name I’d love to use but maybe more as a middle name
George - another option as a middle name
Jack
Rory
Jude
Carson - a slightly more uncommon one OH actually likes.

Rory James was always my favourite but my OH hates Rory!
