Help me find a boys name...

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!

Kes? was a film in the olden days.

soontobeslendergirl · 25/01/2014 23:22

there are quite a few names containing x that you like so maybe that's the way to go.

I still like Dexter :)

in a few years time, no-one will think it has anything to do with a tv series.

I like your style, OP (communications, if not necessarily naming). I don't really see why you're being accused of being rude other than that you've used the dreaded c-word. Anyway, how about:

Mannix
Carson
Jett
Conan
Edison
Seth
Ronan
Kalle (Swedish name, pronounced Calla)

Bit of an eclectic mix there, but something might feel right

William is a lovely name for boy, I also like Peter!

threeleftfeet · 29/01/2014 12:41

glentorres I'm genuinely curious, why offer classic names when the OP has made it clear she's not into them?

Did you simply not read the thread? Or are you passing judgement on non-classic names in a passive aggressive manner? Or something else? Confused

gualsa · 04/02/2014 00:01

I am expecting a boy. I like
Ryder,

Sebastian and

Lucas.
