Boy Names - 'laid back' name ideas please

38 replies

DiddlyDoris · 14/08/2022 11:00

Looking at name ideas please, expecting a little boy who was yawning when being scanned (hoping it's an indication he'll be a chill laid back boy).

Trying to think of names that aren't 'hard' hitting (ie buster, max etc) but have a more chill vibe.

I like Noah but OH thinks it's 'too' biblical.
Others currently on the list;

Milo
Rowan
Feivel
Zachary
Kai

Johnnie...the most chilled name!

Joe
Isaac
Eli
Charlie
Cameron

are boys I have taught who were very chilled. Of the names you have listed, I actually like Kai as a name in Germany, but here it tends to have naughty boy connotations. Shame as I know a sweet one!

Feivel is an interesting choice! Are you Jewish, by any chance?

loveireland · 14/08/2022 15:06

Dylan Roman Tom Lewis. Jack.

I have a 25 year old Rowan who is definitely chilled
I also like Noah and don't think it's too biblical
What about Caleb?

katieg03 · 14/08/2022 14:58

I have a Zachary. Only one in his whole primary school. He loves it and he suits it.

I don't know any Tom's, but loads and loads of Kai's in my area.

Noah is nice but popular where I live but I like it.

HorribleHerstory · 14/08/2022 14:54

Rufus came to mind.

Otis. Leif. Asher. Indigo. Otto. Dorian. Dylan.

Twizbe · 14/08/2022 14:54

I know loads of Toms including DH. The most chilled out guys ever.

I know a lot of chilled out James as well.

goldfinchonthelawn · 14/08/2022 14:53

I love Zach - Izaak/Isaac or Zachary/Zachariah

Lots of the others are also quite biblical but so lovely:

Joshua
Elijah
Ezra

Marmite name, but I think Wilfred is lovely and laid back. Same with some of the other 'old man' names like Stanley, Ernest, Alfred etc

Sandysandwich · 14/08/2022 14:52

Jesse
Joey
Seth
Byron
Samuel
Daniel

I love Noah too, it doesn't feel that biblical to me just because its been used widely, like Rachel, Peter and Mark also don't.
