AIBU to ask you what to call my son…

[TheKingtonHalls]

My son is due tomorrow. We’re stuck on names!

Surname will be Kington Hall.

Our other son is called Leo, middle name John.

We both quite like James, Ben, Ryan, Eliot, John, Roan/Rowan/Rohan, but I don’t love any of them as much as Leo.

I like Harry, Jack, Arthur, Archie, Alfred, Albert, but DP doesn’t.

He likes Ethan, Marcus, Nathan, but I don’t.

I honestly feel like we’ve thought of every name and none of them are quite right.

Please help!!!

I always liked Alex, Euan, Rhys and Daniel for a boy, but had 2 girls, which seem to match with your likes...

How old is Leo? Could you offer him up your three favourites and let him pick?

I think Leo & Rowan sound great together.

I also like Leo & Asher, Leo & Reuben, Leo & Ellis, and Leo & Wilfred.

Roland?

Lionel

so Leo and Lionel

Lincoln
David
Bertie
Robert/Bobby
Monty
Barney
Ernie
Jacob
Arlo
Daniel
Matthew
Adam
Shane

No rhyme or reason for my suggestions. Just thought of Random names!

Elijah 🥰

You can’t call him Benkington Hall. It sounds like a Manor House from the League of Gentlemen or something and will always run together.

Byron Kington Hall.

From your lists I like Ben and James. What about Alexander, Barnaby, Hugh?

Rowan

(Row to rhyme with Now)

I like James and Ryan from your list. What about George, Thomas, William?

Yes, YABU.
There is a whole topic for Baby Names

Adam. Definitely Adam.

Nathaniel
Freddie
Rupert
Benedict
Dominic
Raef
Isaac
Jasper
Sebastian
Toby
Robin
Samuel

James (or Jamie) has never aged.

Lucas or Luke if you want to stick with L. (I know a family with 6 kids, names all starting with R).

Oliver

David is also pretty timeless.

Just some random thoughts.

Xander

Rowan is a gorgeous name.

Richard
James
Thomas
Matthew
Sebastian
Peter
Christian
Michael
Benedict

I know a Leo who has a brother called Matthew (Matty).
I know another Leo who has brothers called Finn and Ewan.

Jamie
Howard
Benedict (Ben)
Travis
Alistair
David

All the names are good tbh, you won't go wrong with any of them. How about:

Evan
Ivor
Alexander
Ivo
Zach
Sebastian

I think you have to be careful with your surname that the name doesn't merge into the king part of the surname and turn into a stately home as pp said. Jack Kington Hall sounds like Jackington Hall.

Paolo
Otto
Magnus
Ranolph
Paisley 😁

Rowan sounds like a girl's name.

Leo and Luke

Rowan is def not a girls name, it can be used for both like harri and jaimie can.

My vote is for rowan and Leo!

Albert
