Help please
i’m in tears every day about this but he has no name. Im desperate to settle but i cannot find a name we like.

We have 100 girl names but nothing for a boy.

we do not like “traditional common” names such as Chris, Tom, Harry, Nick, Ben.

we do not like names like Otto, Otis, Arlo.

we have a little girl called Aria (was not popular when we chose it) if this little one was a girl he would have been Otillie or Delilah.

we liked Jude but I’ve now met so so many baby Jude’s I just feel lost….

we quite liked Ellis but DH thinks it’s girly sounding. Also quite liked Dylan and Quin for a while but now it sounds so…. Over used?

urgh

My daughter is pregnant and she likes Cassius if it's a boy! 🥴 I'm not too keen! But I do like Rosalie if it's a girl 🤔

Congrats! Go easy on yourself! So many hormones right now will not be helping the tension! Here are some suggestions in case any help...

Asher
Ezra (I think this is my fav with Aria)
Frasier
Elijah
Moses
Noah
Henry

Gorgeous names I just wouldn't pair Ezra with Aria (pretty little liars)

My two names were Doug and Sonny. Probably no help but there it is. I had girls

SpryCat · 12/05/2025 22:49

I had Chay as a name if I’d had a boy

SpryCat · 12/05/2025 22:47

I like Lucas

Did a name come to mind when he was first born. I struggles for a few days but we went back to the name the We both said when we first met him
Congratulations

I think Dylan is a great name, and not popular either. Or Ryan, Adam?
I know more girls called Quinn and a couple of boys, how about Finn

JOEL. It’s always Joel. Gorgeous!

Or, for me, boy equivalents of Ottilie & Delilah could be:

Felix
Sebastian
August
Laurie
Oscar
Caspar

Hmm you like Ottilie but not Otto!

Congratulations OP, hope you’re both doing well! Ellis is a lovely name, and flows well with Aria. I love an E name - what about Enzo, or Ezra? Also love the name Sonny.
