Boy names similar to…

We’re trying to come up with boy names, and a lot of our favourites are no-gos due to already being used by close family members or issues alongside our surname.

I’ve been trawling the name lists, but any suggestions that might feel similar to the ones we can’t use below would be amazing!

Charlie
Jake
Toby
James
Harry
William

Thank you!

Reuben’s a lovely name. Please don’t be put off by the chatter in this thread about the sand witch and your last name, it’s a result of people over thinking it.
