There are so many girls names we like but boys names are so difficult!. Here are some that we like (but don't love!) but we cant use them anyway for certain reasons. Any suggestions for alternatives ?

Ellis
Evan
Tristan
Elliot
Jude
Miles
Vincent (Vinnie)
Rhys
Laurie

I like Emmett. Milo was on my list too but DH vetoed it. I also love Rowan but it's a close family member too.

Thank you. I like Aiden/Aidan - the thing which has put me off is I live in Northumberland and there's a lot of strong accents (not so much mine but friends and family) and the "Ay" sound can be really exaggerated 🤣

I love your list, Op.

A few other options:

Ewan
Owen
Ivor
Ethan
Seth
Ted
Joel
Emyr

Thank you. These are lovely too. Surname is one syllable so I think we need a two syllable first name which rules out a few. I love Owen and Ethan but have close family members with those names.
