A name that fits both baby and man...

We are having trouble with boys names. All the names we like (like Theo for example) we can picture on a baby, but not on a grown man.

We also dislike names that are commonly shortened ie Alexander to Alex, Nicholas to Nick, Archer to Archie etc.

Any suggestions?

Our "kinda" okay list at the moment are - Hunter, Issac, Caleb, Jack, Kian, Leo, Liam, Lincoln, Cole.

Theo is lovely - Theo Walcott - footballer and grown man? I don't see how that is much different to Leo or Caleb to be honest.

From your list, Isaac (spelt this way which is usual or he'll constantly be correcting it), Leo or Jack. I'm sorry but I don't like the others. Have known quite a few naughty Cole's and Kian's so I have negative associations with the names. Lincoln and Hunter sound a bit American?

Blake Luca/Lucas Jacob Dexter

Unfortunately DP has already vetoed Blake and Dexter (which I really like..)

Lucas has been taken by a close friend.

Jacob is lovely but will forever remind me of Twlight now (showing my age a bit?!)
