What’s your thoughts on s boys names can anyone help? I like

sean
simon
sonny
shane
shai
Sylvester lol but no one else does
any thoughts on these? Are the popular? Rubbish?

our surname begins with s and thought it would be nice

if it were a girl we’d probably have gone with summer or shania however just had boy confirmed at 20 weeks

l I also like A names
so any boys that begin with a A

oh and I prefer names that are not in the top 100 as I work in a school and am put off many popular names

Seamus?

Have you considered that this child’s initials will be SS? That’s a strong choice that he might hate you for and will certainly raise some eyebrows.

When you say Shai, do you mean Shay? Which is traditionally short for Seamus…

Sam/uel , Sebastian

Simeon

But Shea is a name.
I like Simon
sunny isn’t great.
Angus and Adam are nice. well I think so.

Shai is awful and not a name

How about Simon, Stephen, Sebastian, Samuel, Seth, Scott, Stanley, Stuart?

NameMee5319 · 18/04/2026 19:24

I like Stanley and Scott

Sebastian
stanley
steven
samuel

im just thinking of all the men I know who have S names now 😂

Galectable · 18/04/2026 19:14

Simon is possibly my pick of those. I quite like Sylvester too. Other possibles -

Stuart
Stanley
Scott

Sean or Shaun would have to be spelt every time...
