Hello

Struggling with boys name. Have a girl name ready. What do you think about my list.

Finn
Ramsay
Reuben
Nathan
Alexander
Matthew
Vinnie (Vincent)
Spencer
Finlay

Its quite a random list. Our other DC is Elliot. Doesn't need to match but just for other suggestions.

I like all except for Ramsay. I prefer Nathaniel to Nathan, but both are nice.

I like Finlay and Spencer the best.

I love Alexander but it’s my husbands name so it’s going to our sons middle name. Which is a nice touch as Alexandra is my middle name. I would go for that!

I like Vincent.

BrizzleMaverick · 08/07/2021 19:35

My eldest is Alexander (Alex) and we have very rarely met other Alexander's. He only met his first female Alex (an adult) a couple of months ago which he was really excited about as I have been telling him for years that girls can be an Alex as well.

Finn - nice, 'safe'
Ramsay - Don't think this is very nice
Reuben - Dislike
Nathan - nice enough
Alexander - nice
Matthew - a bit boring and dated
Vinnie (Vincent) - love, my favourite from your list
Spencer - harsh sounding
Finlay - OK but a bit common

Thanks for the opinions. I think @Tulips15 the different spellings would have the same pronunciation.

Ramsay and Finlay will always be pronounced as ' Ramsey and Finley'

NeepNeepNeep · 08/07/2021 19:25

Finn - No
Ramsay - Gordon
Reuben - No
Nathan - Not keen
Alexander - Nice
Matthew - Nice
Vinnie (Vincent) - Jones
Spencer - Frank
Finlay - Nice

Finn and Alexander go well. I love the name Alexander.

Worst on list is Vinnie.

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 08/07/2021 19:24

Finn goes really well with Elliot imo

Also like Reuben

Retrievemysanity · 08/07/2021 19:24

Alexander, Nathan and Matthew I like from your list but I think Spencer goes well with Elliot.

BunnyRuddington · 08/07/2021 19:21

The only one I like is Alexander. Sorry OP.

LadyWithLapdog · 08/07/2021 19:18

Nathan and Alexander would go well
