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

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

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.
