boys names for cool boys?

[MyFriendGoo]

DH and I are totally stuck- he thinks my choices are boring (Henry, Barnaby, Max) but his choices are too out there for me (Milo, Jobie, Amos). We've agreed we want a name that shows a bit of spark and individuality, but we need a middle ground! Thoughts?

I like Tad, short for Thaddeus. DH would not let me use it though so I have a Tobias. I also like Zeke, Xander, Orlando, Austin and Malakai. I know boys called Kai, Jett, Eden, Jyrah, Stellan, Trey and Ripley if they are of any use?

TheSecondComing in a playground, do you have a Ziggy?

Gabriel, Felix, Seth, Seb, Jasper, Micah, Eben, Jessie, Robin, Cody.

My all time favourite is Thomas though!

Bill.

Also biased.

So many of these suggestions were on my short list for ds!! I love jed, Seth, Heath, loads of them - I should have had more kids

Both of my sons' names have been mentioned. Only one is old enough for any cool grading and is he so not cool!

I really like -

Milo
Ludo
Xavier
Gabriel
Jasper
Felix

We have a Sander and a Rocco and I hope they are cool kids in the playground for at least a little while in their school careers!

Agree it's the person that can make the name seem cool but it would also depend on the area the child is growing up/school they attend on whether they sound cool.

giving a child a perceived 'cool' name will not make them cool. how bizarre

Names can conjure up an image so yes to me names like Dan, Leo, Tom, Alex seem cool but a name cannot make an individual cool. But then what is cool????

Why's that bizarre? I know an uber cool Tom, James and Will and a very uncool Hugo.

Jobie - noooooo. He will get the poo connection and it won't be nice.

I like Felix, Rory, Kit, Zack, Seth, Milo, Barnaby. All cool and not too popular.

What we think is cool will not be amongst kids. Name mentioned before Cornelius mmmm doesn't seem like a cool name the kid would have to be uber cool to carry that one off.

Wasn't a park in London.

I think cool people make their names seem cool
Probably one of the reasons why we form opinions on names

OP I love all your choices & really dislike your DH choices.

I agree its the child that is cool not the name & with a poster who said they can be in & out of coolness.

From names mentioned above I love Seth - went to college with a hippy Seth & many years later met a seriously gorgeous man at a wedding called Seth , that said cannot imagine cuddling my lovely son & calling him Seth.

Love Ted & Barnaby & Rory & Gray & Dexter for coolnesss......... however the boy, the child, the man will make it cool or not regardless of his name - I think Bryan Ferry is pretty chilled & cool for an oldie & he is called Bryan ! Equally met a very lovely looking boy at a friends childs party recently called Rocco & he was a whingey & challenging 5 year old.

Can you be a cool 5 year old?

Have you thought of Barry?

Or Lembit?

Finn[not Finlay/ley]
Bruno
Ed[ward]

The little boys I know whose names seem cool are Stan and johnny!
I have also meg a Ziggy! Not in London though; at a childrens birthday party in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Dexter.Ours is 7 and very cool.

How about Rhys? Sooo cool. But I think that's because I liked the guy out of terminator 1
