Can't find a boys name we like. Love fairly traditional names and am keen to have something 'strong' like Jack, Ben or Mark. Not keen on others like Paul, Rob, John, or on shortened versions like Matt, Pete or Tim. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I've heard of a boy called Van Hmm

rufus5 · 05/06/2013 16:47

I actually quite like that Terrys, but we already have a Jack in close family and I think it would be too much having something that rhymes with it. So for all you helpful folk out there who were about to suggest Zac, Pac, Sack, Rack, Tack, Whack, or anything else along those lines...sorry!

Surely it has to be Clint?

Or possibly Rhett?

rufus5 · 05/06/2013 17:15

Ok folks, we're getting a bit too 'out there' with suggestions like Vlad, Kip, King or Sun! Remember I said I liked traditional names... Hmm
