Boys name shortlist - but none seem like "the one"

27 replies

Hi

Our baby is due in May, and our shortlist so far is:

Jude
Jesse
Luke
Gabriel

I also like Rory but DH hates it, so that's out. This baby's brother is called Ashton.

Does anyone else have any ideas of similar types of boys names? I do prefer names that aren't hugely popular. (when ds was born, Ashton was unheard of - there's a big age gap between him and this baby)

Thank you!

Have you googled 'biblical baby names'?the names you mentioned seem to stick with that trend...might be worth a look
P.s: love Jude Grin

We have a Gabriel known as Gabe (Gabey as a baby). Still love his name and he was a big baby and is a tall little boy so seems to suit him so well. My DH chose his name, it's supposed to be quite a popular name but we haven't met another yet. He gets a very positive reaction to his name.

Love Jude, Luke and Gabriel but hate Jesse, sorry. Luke is my favourite.

I like all your names, so I'm not much help really!

Like Luke and Jude. What about Caleb?
Biblical names like Jacob are very popular at the minute.
