What is your favourite name for a boy?

I am so stuck on a boys name.
Since I was a child I have liked Brandon. I also like Rhys (I am part welsh). But OH doesn't like either.
He likes Logan Hmm and the first name needs to go with the middle name Matthew (family thing).
I sort of like Damien (but my mum moans about the Omen film!).

What about Damon, not quite the same but sounds similar! I would have loved to call my DS Rhys but it sounds silly with our surname. We have very similar tastes in names lol! We picked Dylan in the end for our little man but other boys names we have liked when choosing for our DC are Connor, Riley, Brendan, Theo, Brandon, Tyler, Dante, Damien.

Typically we had already chosen a boys name for DC4 (Connor) but we found out we are on team pink so struggling for girlie names this time lol

My favourite name would be Bruce.

Logan is better than Brandon or Rhys.

Damien and Damon are awful imo.

Brandon sounds so 90210
Unless you're american, don't do it!!

I like Rex, and Spike
(not sure I can really criticise Brandon when those are my favs! Grin)

My DS is called Brandon. I also love Theodore and William but DP vetoed William.

I like Toby. Dh loved Cassius. Ds is called something else which I now love.

duchessandscruffy · 26/09/2013 21:47

It's funny the connotations that Brandon conjures for me, when it is a very prominent name in Game of Thrones!

FatPenguin · 27/09/2013 00:08

We are trying to decide between Thomas and Joseph.

MummyBeerest · 27/09/2013 00:22

What about Gavin? Isn't that Welsh and kind of close to Logan?

Fwiw, my favourite name for a boy is Patrick.

You all havr suggested great names, the annoying thing is my family is so big that we already have a Christopher (DP)
Ryan and Daniel and Nathan are my cousins
Michael is my uncle's name

Sadie I love your name choices, Tyler and Riley are also ones I liked but got rejected by OH instantly! And Damon is one that I like as much as Damien.

Duchess I love Game of Thrones!
