I don't love any boy names

So DS is Kit. Love his name, thought of it quite early on and it always stuck and he's 5 now.
Next DS is on the way and I'm just not loving any names
Names I like but close family have them so I can't:
Ezra
Jesse
Jake
Wren
Names I like but have been vetoed by DP:
Jude
Oscar
Patrick
Names we both liked but just aren't quite right:
Ash
Aiden
Cillian

Any ideas. I'm Irish and have a very common Irish surname (and everyone has my surname double barrelled)
We do live in England though so whilst I could go a bit Irish, I want everyone to be able to pronounce it.
Equally partner is English and I'm happy with an Englishy name too or one that doesn't scream either like Kit!

Just to say I'm not being rude, we had 12 week scan and no heartbeat. Hopefully I will be back here to look at these again soon.

We have a Kit a well with a baby boy on the way - lots of these have given me a bit of inspiration as we were totally stuck too!

WickedUsername · 06/07/2023 22:46

Kit was on my short list.

We ended up with Bram, with Abraham as a full name.

Indy
This was my top boys name and I had others like yours on my list. I had only girls and one of my close friends used it instead. She went for full Indiana but you could just have Indy.
I also liked:
Tate
Rex
River

What about Sidney? Kit and Sid sound like they could be great friends. I like Kit and Rhys too. Also Kit and Evan.

My ds would have been called Drew if his dad wasn't called Andrew.

iammother · 05/07/2023 23:14

Barney

Rufus - this is what we went for and it suits that sweet little boy perfectly
