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!

I suspect you're having a girl OP! When I was expecting ds I went off each and every girls name I'd ever liked. It all made sense when 20week scan said he was a boy!

Just in case my completely made up unscientific hunch turns out not to be true how about...

Sholto
Malachi
Hector
Inigo
Corey
Caradoc

?

Gabriel
Oscar
Cameron
Jasper
Edwin

Baxter? You could say you were inspired by The Apartment.
Dashiell? As in the writer.
Maybe a positive association with a favourite film or writer would help the name stick. (We almost went for Angus as my husband is a big Angus Young fan. Thankfully, I'm way cooler than him so my name won)

Addison?

Piper
Houston
Hendrix
Bracken
Dante
Gaige
Beckett
Ferris
Nixon
Galen
Aldrid
Whittaker (Whit)
Huxley

I like Malachi!

Whit we're in Scotland!

Don't know the gender and didn't ask at the scan, so will he a surprise.

When is your due date? You will have to come back and tell us the name!

I will, if I ever choose one!

Due April 18th

I've not read the whole thread but what about Edan - it's an old scottish name. I liked Ed as a nn but not Edward and came across Edan. Didn't use it as we had a girl, but I love it.

Oh my word you are stuck!!!
Parker?

Carter?
Lewis?

Edan and Parker are girls names (to me).

Lewis is way too popular.

Not keen on carter.

Oakley?

Sunglasses.

Piers
Pierce
Murdo

Malachi it is then???!!

Or Travis.

Marcus

Piers as in Morgan?! No.

Travis as in Dave Lee or the band? No.

I hate Marcus.

And I like Malachi but not enough to ever use.

I still think I like Caleb

Murray? Blake?

Nope. Blake sounds like flake and Murray is common here.

Caleb is really nice.

Aidan
Bennett
Cameron
Clinton
Curtis
Damon
Dante
Darwin
Dawson
Deon
Devon
Dustin
Franklin
Ivan
Kingsley
Lincoln
Makai
Micha
Moses
Nelson
Nolan
Owen
Preston
Quentin
Roman
Rowan
Sawyer
Silas
Stefan
Terrance
Trenton
Vincent
Warren
Wesley
Wyatt

Any good??? I'm really trying to help here!!!!!

Caleb is a good name.

I like Grey - someone suggested Grayson but it does't need to be short for anything. I will list the more unusual/ uncommon names at my son's school…

Hogie
Junah
Jonah
Bluey
Fenton
Alan (don't think it's your taste but whenever I hear it I think how uncommon it is - ditto Andrew!!)
Heston
Indigo (Indy)
Valentine (Val - super cool kid!)
Jago
Preston
Presley
Perry

Grey is a gorgeous name. But after the 50 shades of grey book, I wouldn't use it!
