Please help! We are really struggling with choosing boys names. We have our girls names sorted ( either betsy or Gracie ) but finding boys names particularly difficult.

What are your opinions on the following names? We want something different and not very
Popular but a name for life! Middle name will be Thomas

Mylo Thomas
Oscar Thomas
Max Thomas

Xx

Oscar is everywhere, very trendy and will date IMO.

Mylo is ok, but is a tweenie and I tend to think of it as a dogs name. I'd spell it Milo and MUCH prefer Miles Thomas.

Max, lovely and I think pretty popular but a really strong name.

All popular names in London so you might need to have a rethink.
Sebastian
Alexander
Elijah
Levi
Zachary/iah
Joseph
Isaac
Toby
Tobias
Jens (silent J Danish name)
Dante
Nathanial goes particularly well with Thomas

Milo-love it.

Milo (with an i).

Thanks for your help. I agree that it would be better spelt Milo. The other issue i have is I'm a teacher which rules put 90% of names! It's a scary thing picking a name for someone!

I also vote milo - love this name.

redredwine84 · 18/02/2013 08:37

I like Tobias (Toby) and Sebastian (seb). Mylo unfortunately reminds me of the tweenies also! Also like Harry, Theo, Noah... X

Love all those names red wine but they have all been used by close friends and family. Think we've made the decision with Milo now! Thanks everyone

I like Max best.

If you're thinking about a "name for life" then I'd suggest you amend your girl list to Elizabeth nn Betsy or Grace nn Gracie. Just a thought.

If unpopular is key for you then you definitely need to rethink. Every other child around here is Milo and Oscar. Max is a bit less popular and dont think it will date as much. But still not that different.
