Totally stuck, trying to find a name for a third boy! Really wanted something one or two syllables, a bit more modern but not wild.
Considering:
Elliot - put off by it being 3 syllables
Noah - but we’re v atheist
Arthur - worried it’s all too old man/Tudor with Henry
Alexander - not super excited by Alex but feels safe.

Can’t use Finn, Leo or Oscar. Any ideas or thoughts welcome!

I'm really confused by your reasons not to use Noah. It's literally the most popular name in the country so most people using it won't be Christian, and your atheism didn't stop you using Samuel?!

Peter? Long overdue a revival!

Keep coming back to Jack, just had hoped for something a bit different. I love love Finn but can’t use it and I guess Jack has similar vibes

Ooh I like Jack, and Joshua too

Yes -massive backtrack. Like I said always loved the name Ally , just hadn't really but it to a boys name. I loved it from the Ally's World Book series. So from a kid ally was a favourite name. But best I named my son was alex

Crap I'm sorry I was so rude. Ally was my top name years ago, but could only work it for a girl in my head, but loved the name. I had a boy called alex, based on ally as my best name. Just couldn't work it for me, or Al for short. But that was only my opinion of ally can become a boys name I'd love it x

Haven’t you heard of Ally McCoist? It’s a really common nickname for Alastair. That aside I agree with you that Joe is perfect for OP’s DC3.

Joe- that was my best choice of boy name. Strong and simple.

Ally is not a nickname for alistair. Don't consider that at all. I love Ally but potentially only for a girl

My cousin is Alistair nicknamed Ally

Random anecdote..
My 16 yr old son here in the USA has a best friend called Basil (pronounced Bay-sil). He is Greek Orthodox and Basil is a big saint in the Eastern Church. I have never met another Basil in my life. I guess Basil Fawlty killed the name in the U.K.!

Everyonehasavoice · 16/02/2023 03:22

Sam means ‘told of god’ and Henry means ‘power/ ruler’

So maybe go for similar meaning names
Alexander ( Alex ) means defender of men
Frederick ( Fred ) means ruler of mankind

Other thought
Francis ( Fran ) patron saint of animals
Angus
Benedict ( Ben ) patron saint of education, Europe, the downtrodden, homeless

If your torn between names look up what they mean, that might swing your choice one way or the other.

You realise that Sam is a biblical name? Short for Samuel and also Samson.

Suggestions:
Oscar
Finn
Jude
Jonah
William
Max
Edward

Yes, just a bit less obvs biblical maybe! Everyone knows of the ark :). I adore Finn and Oscar but can’t use sadly. It’s so so hard!
