Evan, but my first husbands surname rather ruled that out for me forever Sad

Laurie is a huge favourite of mine but I didn't use it for either of my sons.

shoopshoopdedoo · 11/03/2023 00:25

James. I’ve always loved it. Husband is not English so we didn’t use, as it doesn’t have an equivalent in his language.

Sonny, Luca, Ezra and Benny

James. Always has been my favourite.

Bigbus · 11/03/2023 00:05

Arlo is my favourite but I didn’t use it as my family are more traditional and I wasn’t brave enough!

I also like David and Ezra and Nate and Daniel.

Etienne

This IS a beautiful name. I haven't heard many English boys names that sound very beautiful.

toastofthetown · 10/03/2023 23:59

Lysander. It's a no from DH but I think it's so beautiful.

Not Cormac! He will never be able to live in Cornwall! It's the name of our councils repair and maintenance company!

pankihanki · 10/03/2023 23:56

Ralphie but everyone else seems to think its a dogs name

Enko · 10/03/2023 23:56

Conrad. And yes we used it. He is 21 and I still love it

Friarclose · 10/03/2023 23:55

My sons name - Alistair. Its been my name for a boy since I was really young. He really suits it too

woollysocksandgloves · 10/03/2023 23:55

Luca. Ended up with a far more conventional boys name, still wish I had gone for it

Hangupsrus · 10/03/2023 23:54

Benjamin

hamsterchump · 10/03/2023 23:54

laalaaleelee · 10/03/2023 23:53

I recently really started liking the name Luca

Lorcan

James...I loved that name too, always thought I'd use it for a boy. Ended up engaged to someone called James, now an ex. Put me off the name for life.
