new and revised boy's name list

[bundaberg]

we found out at our 20 week scan that we're expecting our fourth baby boy

we've used up most of the great names out there, but this is my shortlist.... what do you think?

Cosmo
Beau
Jesse
Sebastian
Joss
Skyler
Kester
Caius/Gaius
Finnian
Josiah

A few of these sound to me like they would be more suited to girls names tbh.

Sebastian and Josiah are fine but Josiah might get nn Jos, which sounds girly to me.

Beau is the nicest sounding of those.

Jesse, Joss & Skyler sound a bit feminine to me .

I like Sebastian, Finnian & Josiah.

Other suggestions:
Jonah
Elijah
Zacharius
Amos
Silas
Lysander
Cornelius
Drew
Caleb
Xander
Tobias
Xavier
Roman

LOVE Joss and Kester!

Linus is top of my list!

I like Cosmo, Joss and Kester, Sebastian is nice, as well. One that is on my list and has a similar feel is Corvin.

Finnian

I love Jesse.

What about Heath? I Always wanted a Heath. If we'd been able to have another child, it would've been Heath.

namenotmine... you reckon Jesse then huh?

I am so loving this thread. when ds2 was born I got told that his name (Gabriel) was wanky

so i was prepared to be utterly slated here. You all just have great taste

toffeejungle several of the ones on your list were on mine originally but I had to be ruthless the other day trying to cut it down lol

Cosmo
Sebastian
Gabriel
Asa

Of the others, Skyler doesn't seem to fit with your other names at all and is my least favourite.

Oops. I read your sons names as extra potential names.

They're very nice

Loving a thread with unusual boys names makes me feel like maybe were not completely mental after all. We've got two boys already with unusual/not commonly used names so I'm finding picking another boys name really hard.

My DH loves the name Gaius and it was name we've considered for each of our boys but I've always felt slightly reserved about using it. I find with unusual names you have to have complete conviction in your choice as you get so many comments - like you say a thick skin is needed! It's interesting to see someone else suggesting it makes me think maybe I should reconsider it as a contender I reckon it would make Dh's day if I did!

To add to your list what about -

Spencer
Gideon
Tristan
Morgan
Tobias

Off your lists my favorite is probably Joss or Jesse and Gaius.

I think Cosmo goes best with brothers names

Other options - Rufus or Guy or Fergus

Or Ivor

Jesse by far.

Love Jonah. Skyler is becoming popular. Cosmo is fab. I like Hector and Bruno too.

I really like Cosmo, Finnian and Josiah. I think Cosmo and Josiah would go better with the other names however.

I love Isaiah.
Would you consider --
Micah
Barnaby
Solomon
Phineas
Jude
Cornelius
?

From your list ...
Beau
Jesse
Sebastian
Joss
Skyler
Kester
Caius/Gaius
Finnian
Josiah

... I don't think Beau, Joss (except as NN), Kester, Caius/Gaius and especially Skylar are in the same league as your other names, which are all cool Biblical names.

Shiloh

From your list I love Beau.

I'm obviously very brave because I have a Cosmo! I think it's a fab name.

Oriunda what kind of reaction do you get to it?

No reaction really, at least nothing negative I've ever noticed. I live in an area where uncommon/'brave' names are fairly popular so Cosmo doesn't really stand out that much.

However, I'm not one of these people that give a monkey's what other people think. I think Cosmo is a great name, it suits my son (and it's also a family name as DH is Italian so ticks all our boxes).

Cosmo or Sebastian

Jago?
