Boy Names - 'laid back' name ideas please

38 replies

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

I think Malachi's are chilled and very musical. (I have never actually met one though)

gemma1993 · 14/08/2022 13:20

Also considering Zachary, I really like both though.

you might also like Levi?

I love Freddie. Deffo feels chilled. Also maybe Barney. Rory. Gabriel.

Or something a bit natural. River, Fox, Blue.

Luredbyapomegranate · 14/08/2022 12:13

Zachary is great
Milo and Rowan grand but overused
Hard NO to Fievel (what?!), and Kai (a naughty boys name if ever there was one)

Joss
Silas
Seth
Jerome
Jethro
Nathan
Robert nn Bobby
Joel
Issac

Tom is too widely used to be anything, I know chilled Toms and hyper competitive Toms… although Jeremiah nn Jerry is quite chilled

Also Max and Noah but v overused

I don’t know any chilled Tom’s…

pinklavenders · 14/08/2022 11:51

Actually I know a very 'unchilled' and unkind Tom, so unfortunately not everyone Tom/Thomas is laid back.

Norabuzz · 14/08/2022 11:46

Yes! All the Toms I know are so relaxed!!

Toby
Kit
Luke
Matthew
Zachary
Louis
Dominic

Kai is a bit hyper I’d say.

We know an elder brother of one of the names above, who is Joel, which sounds chilled to me.

HSKAT · 14/08/2022 11:43

I love Noah and Rowan.

Agree with pp that the Toms I know are so chilled

pinklavenders · 14/08/2022 11:42

I like Rowan

How about
Dominic
Quentin
Reuben
Marcus

I know pretty chilled out teens with those names!
