Baby boy names for surname Grant

30 replies

Poptartart · 05/05/2024 20:11

DP can’t decide on a name. We feel like we have considered hundreds of names and only like a handful! Our front runners are;

  1. Oliver
  2. Alexander
  3. Lewis
  4. Cameron

We don’t like names that are too out there. Can anyone suggest some names to go with the surname Grant which are along the same lines as the names above. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your suggestions. Some good ones in there! We do like Fraser which someone has posted but prefer Oliver and Alexander.

Good point re nicknames and is something we already considered. I prefer Ollie to Alex (or any other Alexander related nicknames ie Sandy, Alec, Xander etc)

Just choose a name you love. It's not a difficult surname.

1st 2 names that came to my mind too 😂

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 06/05/2024 01:35

I love Oliver and Alexander - both very classic and suit all ages. I’d decide based on which nn you prefer as certainly Alexander and possibly even Oliver will get shortened.

Less keen on Cameron or Lewis is they feel a bit surname to me. But similar style names to Oliver and Alexander:

William
Henry
Edward
James
Thomas
Samuel
Nathaniel
Joseph
Peter
Christopher
Michael
Matthew

More brothers:

But you have a good list of 4 strong names. You can choose what feels best at the time.
