Help me find a boys name...

[Juno77]

I am going to be really fussy, dismissive for ridiculous reasons and probably sound like an arse on this thread. But I am really stuck. We've had a girls name set for a few months and I am still happy with it. But the boys name.. we keep going off them.

I need help.

I don't want anything common, in both senses of the word.

Our list thus far has been:
Jackson
Deacon
Brodie
Caleb

And I liked them all at first, and now I hate them. I think they sound chavvy. I have a DS with a top 10 name and thankfully he goes by a lesser used NN anyway, but still, I don't want to repeat that. He's one of 4 in his year.

HELP!

Isobel? That's incredibly popular

You do sound really rude btw.

I don't really like any of the classic boys names though, and herein lies my problem..

Isobel isn't very popular here. Isn't in the top 100 - in fact only 33 registered last year.

santana why do I sound rude? Genuine question.

I asked for suggestions, I don't like some. I've explained why. I apologise if that's rude - I didn't realise MN was a place for social niceties!

I wouldn't say 'I don't like that name' in real life. But this is an Internet forum. I've seen a lot worse!

Is Isobel not a top 10?

What if you move

Chavvy is as Chavvy does, OP.

Bernard?
Barrington?

People are trying to help, you don't need to describe things as awful, chavvy, schemie and the various other delightful terms you've used.

sock possibly in England, no idea. Not here anyway. Like I said, only 33 born last year.

We won't move to another country

Okay Santana, that's fair enough. I've obviously touched a nerve and I apologise for causing offence.

I personally view certain names that way. Not sure why anyone would care that much, but that's how I feel. Andi shared that in the interests of not wasting people's time posting names I wasn't going to like.

Again, I'm sorry for causing offence.

what about nordic names?

Rudy is my favourite boys name - but I didn't have any boys so if you like it you can have it! I knew a Rudy in my childhood and have never met another!

Isobel wasn't top 100 in England last year either.

Isobel is lovely. Let's hope you have a girl then!

As in it will be easier for your sake

I do like Rudy! But a friend recently had twins and called one Rudy..

I really hope so!

I don't know what my aversion is to boys names. It's really frustrating.

Well just de-friend her then

do you not like Rowan? It is a name I really hanker after and wish I had called my DS (Cillian)

ep-it might be easier to lose a friend than find a boy's name you like!

I do like Rowan.. But, I have a female friend called Rowan. Calling a little boy the same name would be weird for me.

I can't believe Isobel is your girls name. I am disappointed OP.

I don't think you were being rude, annoying but likeable maybe! I have seen people be incredibly rude and nasty on baby names threads and nobody bats an eyelid.

Colum?

Ronan
Conan
Roman

Louis

Colum? Like Gollum on a Column?!!!!

Why disappointed notso?

Ronan just reminds me of boyzone
Conan the barbarian
Roman isn't bad but it's not for me

I don't actually like Colum purely because I know one and he's an arse
