Ideas for boy's names ending in "r"

34 replies

Daffodilly · 10/11/2008 17:25

We know we are having a boy and I think names ending in "r" scan nicely with our surname.

So far I've come up with Peter, Arthur, Oliver, Oscar... of which only Oliver appeals and I feel it is a bit popular.

Any other ideas?

I have a Connor
also like Keir, Oliver ( Ollie)

my friends little boy is Xavier

It is pronounced Greg Or. It is a well known name in Scotland but my friend who is Irish could just not get it at all. She had never heard of it.

I like Fraser, Kerr and Keir too.

Gregor is the best name in the world ending in R, (anyone guess what my DS is called).

Oh Gregor is nice and Connor too.

Trevor is too bad for words - DH thinks it is cool (!!??) due to someone he went to school with 30 years ago...

Alexander or Alistair

Victor and Gregor would be my favourites.

Trevor is awful. I can just see him, shuffling round the filing room in a threadbare short sleeved shirt
with a leaky biro in his pocket, countdown to retirement, grey M&S cardi on the bag of his chair (egg stains on the cardigan).

Sorry to anybody whose dad is called Trevor and is a CEO/all round wonderful lovely person.

Oh fast responses - and some great ideas. These beat DH's suggestion hands down. He likes...wait for it....TREVOR. WTF???
