What do you think? Boys names

[chipsandmushypeas]

First dc due December and me and DP can't really decide still, will probably wait to meet him and then fully decide. Don't want a really traditional name as his middle name will be James and double barrelled surname. List I have so far:

Reece or Rhys
Dexter
Marlo
Hector
Sidney
Ansel
Arthur
Alfie
Tate
Brody

Thank you!

Hector!

Tate is the other one I like from your list.

I would spell Brody as Brodie.

That's probably my favourite.

Ack, those are two of my faves and the two DP really isn't keen on :(

Marlo or axel instead of ansel

I like Axel.

Me and DP both like Marlo too

I like Sidney, but you might want to avoid Sid James!

Also like Alfie (would use Alfred as full name), and quite like Marlo, Hector and Reece (not sure Reece James works so well, as you'd have the two 1-syllable names).

So top 3 would be Alfred/Alfie James, Marlo James and Hector James.

Tate is slang for potato, Brody and Dexter too surnamey, Arthur too old man, Ansel too similar to Hansel.

"Tate is slang for potato"

Yes, I just realised cant really use Sidney! I ink 2 syllable names sound better with James and with a db surname.

Wrt Alfie - my DP really likes it, but I just don't see it as a grown up name, and I find Alfred too old. Nice for a boy, not sure for a man iykwim

Hector!

Alfie has become a little chavvy recently! Don't do it!

Bump :)

I only know of girl Marlos... Arthur is gorgeous!

To hector means to bully/torment and a hector is a bully! Not a nice association imo!!

Alfie has become very common and overused imo.

Sidney, Ansel and Marlo are gorgeous - classic but not overused.

I like Marlo and Hector.

My favourites are Dexter, Marlo and Sidney.

Really dislike Hector - the meaning would put me off, as well as the lack of nice nickname (Heck ).
