Boys names?

[Madamecastafiore]

I like:

Jago
Otto
Milo
Hector
Ivo
Theodore

I like Ivo the most though. What do these names conjure up for you.

DH has said the word wankery a lot

I like Theodore best from your list. It's classic and Theo is a nice nickname.

Some of the others are a bit trendy.

Oooooh that's what I don't want, nothing trendy at all. Both DCs have very classic strong names.

Only Theo for me - others aren't my cup of tea, bit trendy & public school. What goes best with your surname?

i like milo, so cute

We have very similar taste! My boy list is Ivo, Hector, Otto, Milo, Edgar and Albert. Ivo being my favourite too!

Partly depends on your surname/cultural connections. Isn't Ivo a Balkan name, eg Serbian, Croat? If you have no connection to this culture, it's rather unusual to choose a name. I like Jago best from your list, esp if you have Cornish connections.
Milo for me is like Arlo, seems quite a try-hard trendy name just now. But each to his/her own.

I would say those names were quite trendy in a south London kind of way.

My favourite is Theo but its definitely trendy. Milo is a chocolate drink bit like nesquik.

God, am starting to go off them all now! I don't want anything trendy just something a bit cool and not boring.

Love Jago and Hector

DH really loves that debs but feel it a little far out for me. He also likes Bruno and Cosmo!!

I love Theodore, my friend has just given birth to a gorgeous little Theodore, he will be known as Teddy.

Love Hector and Theodore is nice. Not fond of the others.

I think Bruno and Cosmo are more 'wanky' than those tbh.

Ha ha love it. Thanks Remus.

He likes Iago but we not welsh or Spanish!

How about Inigo? Horace? Terence?

And the one I think needs more recognition but nobody likes, Roland. :)

Oooophhhh Roland reminds me of Grange Hill.

I like Inigo but not Horace and although love Terence Stamp couldn't risk a Terry!

I like Hector and Theodore a lot. They are both names with a strong history so I would not call them "trendy" even if they have had a recent spike in popularity. I wanted Hector for our DC3 but I shorten names without thinking and "Hec" isn't great, although "Tor" is OK.

Ivo was on my list but someone on here pointed out is sounds like "I've a" like "Ivo a willy" and that put me off.

Only really like Theo from your list.

I would say most (if not all) are 'trendy' maybe 'posh' sounding names at the mo.

Other suggestions: Barnaby, Amos, Rafferty, Silas, Luca, Elijah, Micah, Cornelius, Jude, Seth, Atticus, Linus, Xander, Cole, Wyatt

I'm with you on the O sound at the end... I love it.
I like Theo the most on your list!
My OH says the same to most of my suggestions for our 4th dc! He likes Jacob/Jake/Harry.
