Strong names? For boys?

To go with an odd surname? (Storm).

We liked Ash/er. It doesn't really go.
We quite like Elliott, Rex (too doglike for me, though), Xander, Caleb, Conrad and Kai (Kai Rooney?). I'm aware that not all actually fit our description! Any ideas?

Cameron?

Iwaswatchingthat · 30/11/2013 12:44

I think your last name is fab by the way!

Iwaswatchingthat · 30/11/2013 12:47

Richard Storm (underused but really nice I think)

bridgetsmum · 30/11/2013 12:52

Dick Storm?!?! Confused

Iwaswatchingthat · 30/11/2013 12:54

Ha ha - I have known many Richards and not one of them gets that nickname!!! Except dick Turpin and dick Whittington!!! They all get the full name tbh.

Thanks everyone Thanks

Can't use Richard as that is my ex's (and my eldest DC's dad's) name! Y

Cameron Storm is lovely. I like Gabriel too, not Gabe as a nn or Riel, but Gabriel without an nn is great. Lucas is a cool name. Kyle is the name of my foster brother, so I like it but don't think I can use it. Thanks

Christopher is nice. Can't use it because of DH'a uncle but I love it, especially with the nickname Kit! Now I just need to convince the uncle to change his name so we can use it...

Benjamin and Alexander are great. I love both of them! Benjamin has loads of nn options (Benjy, Ben and Jamie are my favourites) and I like Alexander because of Xander as a nickname, and just because it's generally a great name.

Smile Thanks again. So far Cameron, Gabriel, Lucas, Benjamin and Alexander have been added to the very short short list!

What an ace surname to have though! am envious!

mum2jakie · 30/11/2013 18:10

I think Levi would sound great with Storm. A real strong name!

MortifiedAnyFuckerAdams · 30/11/2013 18:12

Love love Rex.

Also love Elliot.

Id go for Elliot Christopher or Rex Alexander

WhatTheHellIsHappening · 30/11/2013 18:19

Conrad and storms, I didn't make the connection! Thanks!

Don't think I like Magnus, he'd be teased (around here, at least)? Lachlan is nice, Lachlan Storm has a ring to it. Fergus isn't for us. I love Callum, Jake, Lewis, Leon and Adam. They're brilliant Thanks

Levi Storm, also added to the list!

Mortified we weren't going to use a middle name, but they definitely have a ring to it, so I'm being persuaded! They flow perfectly. Smile
