Classy and classic boys names?

52 replies

Tweediestwo · 08/08/2014 21:28

I have my girl name but I cannot find a boys name I like! I have hunted high and low! They all seem to be the same. Does anyone have any suggestions for a classy boys name that hasn't been used in the last 60 seconds?' Please help! Hubby and I feel a bit like a roundabout!

The only boys name I like is Wyatt. But because this is not a 'classic' or 'traditional' name, I think I would regret it.

Btw my girls name is Genevieve. Just so you can see what sort of name I am after.

Thank you girlies!

I love wyatt! Go with it!

I wouldn't think of Wyatt as either classy or classic.

I'd say that v traditional names like James, Henry, Hugo, Edward, Philip or Frederick meet the "classy and classic" criteria.

So far you two girls are the little angel and devil on my shoulders, one part thinks ' I love it!' The other part says 'don't do it, you will regret it!' Lol

Wyatt is very different but IMO not classic

Joseph, James, Philip, Oliver, Patrick.

Augustine would be an option for something a bit more unusual

James is a contender but I am still hoping I will find a classic that I love as much as Genevieve :-(
I like Laurence but hubby thinks it's a bit OTT

My name is Genevieve! :) I've only met 3 others in my life and I'm 34! I'm known as Jenny. I like the name Laurence, I'm 20 weeks preg and it was on my shortlist.
I'm now going with Alexander. If it's a girl I'm going with Eve a short version of my name.

LauraChant · 08/08/2014 22:04

Alexander
Sebastian
James
Philip
Michael

Tweediestwo · 08/08/2014 22:06

Alexander is lovely. I like eve also!
May I ask do you appreciate your name?
Do you like it being a little different?
There is no budging if it is a girl lol! It will be Genevieve!

Harry

Laurence isn't OTT! It's one of my DS2's middle names, and was my FIL's name.

Other classy and classic (if you don't want the Charles, Edward, Henry, George etc names):
Hugo
Cedric
Harold
Theodore
Stanley
Adam
Augustus

Omg I totally love my name! It's deep, beautiful and sexy sounding (though I do say so myself)! Admittedly I didn't always when I was young hence being known as Jenny but always felt unique and different. I'm really proud my parents called me such a cool name! My siblings are Richard, Steven, Eleanor and Christina if that helps x

I know a Genevieve and Toby as brother and sister. How about Rafe or Fabian?
