I hate most boys names as most of the ones I hear are so over used.

I like the name Nathan, but any other suggestions would be helpful.

Just to help, I like more American used names like, Zachary, Ethan, Tyler, Caleb, Brett etc.

Also, it has to go with a 4 letter last name. :o

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've just found out I'm having a boy and we're calling him Seth! BTW, ours also has to go with a 4letter last name.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 31/05/2011 12:46

Duncan, Gavin or Adrian. You know you want to Grin
FWIW and it really isn't any of my business, why would you want an American name when there are so many great Brit ones (I've given three) to choose from?

StrawberryMewMew · 31/05/2011 12:57

Oh Sillyness I love that name, I have brought it up to DP a fair few times but he's not sure on it.

Kreecher I'm not sure, I just don't like the sound of most British names, however I did like your suggestion of Adrian. :o

Jackson

My DS has a friend called Harrison with a single syllable surname. I think it's a good choice if you want something a bit different but not mad.

StrawberryMewMew · 31/05/2011 13:35

Just suggested Harrison to my DP, he says it's too Star Wars.... Confused

Methinks he's showing his age? It's not as if you suggested Han - unless your 4 letter surname is Solo!

How about:

Devon
Hadrian
Fraser
Franklin
Lee
Harvey
Oswald

Yeah - you're on the ball! But one of them would be OK.
