So stuck for boys name inspiration! DC2 arriving soon, and I haven't found a boys name yet that I love. Don't want anything too popular, and definitely no celebrity names! Have a one syllable surname so ideally two or more syllables.
Thanks for any help / suggestions!

You seem to prefer papal/biblical names?

We too have a one syllable surname and chose (unshortenable) two syllable names. Be careful with more syllables as they may end up with very short nicknames (e.g. Benedict = Ben).

How about
Tristan
Reuben
Quentin
Simon
Rufus

Conrad is great too. Just don't shorten to Con or Connie!!

I'm not sure I can help but I love Benedict! Maybe Samuel?

givemeaclue - no particular preference for biblical names, more a coincidence! I supppose I lean towards more traditional names, rather than fashionable .. thanks for the suggestions, of these suggested I like Nicholas and Francis, just worry Francis is a bit girly. Maybe I just don't really love any boys names!
