Baby boy names with long I sound or ending in ie/y

42 replies

So I feel like I have exhausted every list, Instagram page and thread and I am still struggling to find the right* *name for baby boy.

Our surname is an awkward one, so a lot of names don’t sound right with it. Having said names out loud I think the names that seem to flow best end in an ie/y/ey such as Freddie or they have a long I sound in them such as Milo.

There are a few that I don’t mind but none that I love, so if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it! The name we had planned to use before falling pregnant was Tommy, but for some reason went off it and now it doesn’t feel right.

No, never made a rimming connection to Remy, I think that person was being silly.

Isaac is one which springs to mind. I also like Alfred (Freddie/Alfie)

Levi
Remy

I really like Remy and I feel like it is less popular which I like, but someone mentioned to me that it sounds like Rimming 😩 I personally don’t hear it but now I worry that I’m missing something that everyone else hears!

Toby?

I like Toby, but I know quite a few so I don’t know if it just feels a bit overused. Although the majority of the ones I know are 25 years old plus!
