Boys names that go with Molly

62 replies

We are expecting our baby boy in May and are really struggling with names! We already have a daughter called Molly and would like something that sounds good with her name.
I like names like Blake/ Jack/ Jackson /Liam but DH doesn't. He likes Fletcher/ Oakley / Hendricks / Rupert.
We like traditional/vintage/ not your run of the mill names but we also want a name that is grown up and not baby-ish

Any suggestions would be great!

Thank you

Is it? I don’t think in UK anyone would think that. The only one I really know is actually called a longer name which they shorten to Corey, I won’t mention it as it’s quite rare and would be very outing.

Show quote history

I was joking but it's very American IMO like Randy. Maybe not redneck but defo blue collar American.

Corey? 😂

But of a redneck name surely.

Rupert is really nice and goes well with Molly! Also how about Hugo, Alexander or Max?

All good names

Abracadabra12345 · 11/03/2023 19:57

Are you rejecting same-initial names? My immediate thoughts were of

Mark
Matthew
Michael

Names from thar era seems to be coming back in favour and all are strong, traditional names (and Biblical!)

First one that popped into my head on reading the title was Leo, I have no idea why!
I wouldn't go traditional fuddy duddy like Stanley or Ernest, but I like Jake, Sam, James etc. Strong, timeless boy names.

Coxspurplepippin · 11/03/2023 18:53

Ralph as suggested upthread
Christopher (Kit)

KirstenBlest · 11/03/2023 18:52

Harry

PeekAtYou · 11/03/2023 18:52

I'm surprised that Jackson isn't liked by your h- he seems to like names that could be surnames too.

I know a Molly and Jake.

My other suggestions Harrison, Alexander (known as Lex or Xander)
