I have an Adam. He’s 22 and it’s still my favourite boys name. His brother is Luke.
I also like James, Evan, Benjamin, Marcus, Dominic, Elias, Isaac, Zachary, Joseph, Edward.

I've got an Adam..he's 19 now. Still love the name and it is not very common. However, traditionally it means first born son but maybe that doesn't bother you.

Adam is so much better than Tristan.

Gosh !! Amazing ideas here. Sleaford your right. We had to come up with something. Not Adam not Tristan. Thinking about options. Needs to be short.

Forgot to say my personal favourites at the moment are Eli and Ambrose Smile

SleafordSods · 26/10/2025 07:53

If he doesn’t like Adam and you don’t like Tristan then it looks as though you’re both looking for other names?

Do you both prefer the an/am ending?

How about:

Ethan-although a bit over done in the early 2000s

Abraham

Liam

Sam

William

Ethan

Logan

Roman

Dylan

Rowan

Sebastian

I LOVE Adam!

I absolutely love Sam for a boy. Perhaps it's because I've known a few really fabulous ones in my DC friendship groups.

Not so keen on Tristan.

Amazing ideas !! Hubby likes Tristan. I don’t. Seems too posh. Does Adam bring bad vibes? Can’t get hubby to say really why he dos t like :) :)
