Having out thirds boy, stuck for names!

27 replies

JanuaryBirthdays · 11/06/2022 07:35

We already have a Liam and a Joshua, we're really stuck on a third boy name. Our surname is 1 syllable so 1 syllable names may sound clunky.

Names we like at the moment are:

Oran
Malachi
Remi
Austin
Louis

Any other suggestions would be most welcome!

I think your suggestions are a bit too "out there" compared to Liam and Joshua, apart from maybe Louis but that's maybe quite similar sounding to Liam.
Liam, Joshua and Marcus
Liam, Joshua and Connor
Liam, Joshua and Dylan
Liam, Joshua and Ethan
Liam, Joshua and Aaron
Liam, Joshua and Rhys
Liam, Joshua and Oscar
Liam, Joshua and Adam
Liam, Joshua and Daniel
Liam, Joshua and Nathan
Liam, Joshua and Elliot
Liam, Joshua and Noah
Liam, Joshua and Toby

I love Oran and Malachi! Love them to the point that I think you've pretty much got your name. Love, love, love Malachi.

Finn/Finbar/Finley or Aidan would be my adds, but they're no match for the names you've got, OP. I really love Malachi though. Wish I'd thought of that!

Nathan, Owen, Kier, Cameron,

Corin was the first name that came to my mind. I don’t know why but I think it goes.

Others with the same vibe could be:
Patrick
Reece
Jacob
Owen
Flynn
Finley

I know a Reuben who is called and goes by Benny. So if you were to use Reuben, he may wind up being a Benny.

Ryan is nice but brings back bad memories of being made to watch constant Ryan's toy review from YouTube years ago!

What about Ryan ? It goes with Liam and Joshua and isn't over used.

Love Caleb and Patrick, but DH wasn't keen.

Joseph and Samuel are close relatives.

I like Zachary but not Zach.

Is Nelson any good or does that still have too hard of a Simpsons / Mandela association.
