Luca... my absolute fav!!! In love with this name! ❤️

Rafferty
Cillian
Emerson
Malachi

DS was named one of these. If I had a second son (not happening but hey ho) I would like a shorter, one syllable name such as:
Kit
Zeke
Rafe
Jude
Joel
Heath

If we had a third- which we won’t- Barnaby is top of the list

@YouHaveNoAuthorityHereJackie (great name by the way), as it happens he’s just got me one!

@saywhatwhatnow

Valentine

I have one of these. It is a completely gorgeous name.

Horatio is also good.

@BikeRunSki I think you owe that man a beer

BikeRunSki · 25/08/2021 21:48

@YouHaveNoAuthorityHereJackie, I used it for you. After DH had talked me down from Isambard.

I don't have many names I love, but these three, yes!

YouHaveNoAuthorityHereJackie · 25/08/2021 21:45

Samuel, which I’m sad I never used. Pretty surprised to see my sons name pop up to often on this thread though, it’s one that seems pretty rare these days

If I had another son I'd like to use Jeremy.

Kanaloa · 25/08/2021 21:08

Other than my sons’ names, I like Jonah, Thomas, and Michael. We also really liked Eli/Elias which was dd5 name if she had been a boy.

MaverickDanger · 25/08/2021 20:56

Cormac - not allowed it so went with my second fave Lachlan.

Also love Cillian, Rafferty, Rohan and Jago.

If I lived in South Africa, I’d go Jaco (pronounced Yacu) but it wouldn’t work so well here.
