girls, have such trouble finding a boy's name. We have a son called Noah and have been on the lookout for boy's names since i was pregnant with him 2 years ago and still don't have one i love as much Noah!!! am 24 weeks now so time is beginning to tick. there is one name i love but it's very matchy with our surname so not sure. can't decide whether it's quite cool or too much:

Ben Brennan

What do you think, please be honest? is is a bit like a tongue twister or is it ok?

Other names on the list are Luke, Toby, Jake and i like Henry but DH doesn't.

many thanks!!!

Too matchy, sorry. Benjamin Brennan sounds a bit better although he'd probably still end up as Ben Brennan. I have a surname that rules a lot of my favourites out (it seems to rhyme with everything!!) so I sympathise!

Should have said, Noah, Ben, Toby, Luke and Henry are all in my favourite names of all time! Noah and Henry sounds great.

What about florian? I love this name and it is really international.
Or Henry? Something traditional.
Those are my faves anyway.
Noah is a great name btw Smile .

I like Toby best, although i don think there's a problem with Bend Brennan.

I wouldnt go with Ben Brennan - too matchy and I just dont do the whole alliteration thing.

Like all your other names apart from Henry though.

I like Benjamin and Henry a lot - prefer full names on BCs hence Benjamin as opposed to Ben...Ben Brennan is a bit matchy but agree quite cool So would go for it - Benjamin Brennan sounds better though!

Not so keen on your other choices but ok. Think Luke (quite like) and Noah go well together though.

Good luck!
