Hi all!
We still struggling with a name for our little boy... we have just massively over thought it now.

Which one goes best -

Our little girl is Imogen Rose Dyson

We are down to-:

Luca Oliver Dyson
Archie Luca Dyson
Luca James Dyson

Thank you xx

Luca Isaac would be my choice.

daisypond · 17/10/2021 20:59

I wouldn’t pick Luca. Archie isn’t my cup of tea either, but it’s slightly better than Luca - to me. But you obviously like it, as you have it down twice. Louis is good. Or Lewis, even.

From your choices, definitely Luca Oliver.

I'm not keen on Archie, sorry, and would avoid the combination of James Dyson (even as middle + surname), although I do like James. I like Luca, although prefer Luke or Lucas.

Imogen is so lovely, her brother needs something equally as interesting.

Imogen and...
Timothy Luca
Tobias Luca
Gregory Luca
Sebastian Luca
Nathaniel Luca
Barnaby Luca

I love Luca Oliver or Archie Luca. Smile

SE13Mummy · 16/10/2021 22:01

Luca James of your list.

Given the dis/likes of you and your DH, how about Arthur instead of Archie? Henry or William might work?

imnotacelebritygetmeoutofhere · 16/10/2021 20:59

What about
Louis Oliver Dyson
Zachary Louis Dyson

Hyacinth88 · 16/10/2021 20:42

Alexander sandy for short

crumblebug · 16/10/2021 20:41

How many of the same thread, just call him Luca!

SueyF · 16/10/2021 20:38

Archie, it is a classic that is actually starting to fall out of fashion.
Luca is too trendy

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 16/10/2021 20:34

Of the three - Luca James Dyson for me. Archie is a bit too trendy, although Luca is perhaps slightly exotic sounding compared to Imogen (Luke or Lucas feel more a similar style imo)

Imogen is quite classic and also Celtic origin so if you want other suggestions, maybe Owen, Evan or Rhys? (Owen is my fave). It's also Shakespearean, so there's also the many commonplace "English" boys names also used by Shakespeare - Hugh, Henry, Arthur, Thomas, Toby, William, Edward, Edmund, Adam, Peter, Robert, Michael, Nathaniel, Charles, Alexander, Frederick, Nicholas, John, Christopher, Marcus, Francis, Laurence, Matthew....

@MindyStClaire

I know it's not from your list but I really like the suggestion of Benjamin above. I think it goes very nicely with both your surname and your daughter's name. I'm biased though as DD2 would've been a Benjamin if she'd been a boy.
Glad to see others love the name. It's a classic that isn't used as often as it should be. It also works really well with the OPs surname. Smile
ILoveHauls · 16/10/2021 19:52

Benjamin is lovely and much nicer than the names on the list

KirstenBlest · 16/10/2021 19:42

Jacob is ok too.
Isaac - the misspellings would bother me

KirstenBlest · 16/10/2021 19:42

Don't like Archie or Luca.

Lucas is ok as is Luke.

Luca - no
Lucas - ok
Archie - no
Harry - ok
Jacob - Adam no
Louie - awful. Louis is nice
Issac - ok
Zachary- ok but Zac is better than Zach

Whinge · 16/10/2021 19:41

I really like some of the names on your longer list, Zachary could definitely work and in my opinion flows better than Luca or Archie.

If you're open to suggestions how about

Alexander
Nathan
Thomas
Edwin
Oscar
Philip

DotDotDotDotDot · 16/10/2021 19:39

Luca James is lovely, I’d choose that.
Maybe Luca Joseph
Luca Henry
Luca Samuel
Luca Nathaniel?

MadAboutMyBoy · 16/10/2021 19:34

Luca James is a gorgeous name!

xem87 · 16/10/2021 19:32

@xem87

Problem is our dog is Olly so can't really have Oliver!

We aren't agreeing on any names 🙈 feeling really stressed as he needs a name xx

What other names were on your long list? Are there any others you like, but can't use?

I like Luke. Luca sounds pretentious to me unless you have Italian links.

PaolaDiLorenzo · 16/10/2021 19:14

I also think Oliver Luke Dyson is nice. Imogen and Oliver go really well together.
