Your thoughts on our boys short list..

[whiteblossom]

OK some of these are my preference some are DH. We have an Alex (ander) already so what are your thoughts or suggestions....

Riley
Greyson
Conrad
Nathanial/nate
Conner
Archer
Roman
Albie
Ashley
Jamie
Ethan
Hunter
Ace

Am I allowed to say I am not keen on any? Sorry. Names should be flexible in my opinion, so prostitute to prime minister and anywhere inbetween. Alexander is a great choice for your other child.

Love Roman although with an Alexander you will look like history freaks!

I like Riley, Conner (though would spell it Connor), Jamie and Nathanial. Prefer Nathanial with Alexander. How about James nn Jamie?

They are very American sounding names.. are you from the US? I think in the UK they would be a bit much TBH, the only name I like on the list are Ethan :) x

I agree they sound very American. Are you in the US or UK?

Myself I'd use:

Ethan
Nathaniel (i think this goes well with Alexander and Nate is a cool NN)
James, rather than Jamie

Wow. You've almost gone all out to gt the set there, op. you missed Jayden and Kayden though. 1/10 - and that's only for the effort of typing them out.

Bit of a mixed bunch here! Some nice ones though - like Nathaniel (prefer this spelling), Ethan and Archer. Quite like Conrad too, but suspect plenty of others won't!

Really dislike Riley, Greyson, Conner (especially spelt like this) and Ashley.

Alexander is lovely, by the way!

Nathaniel (Nate) or Ethan.

lol, I spelt connor incorrectly! I admit some sound American, I am from the UK [GRIN]

Im just bored of the same old, same old for boys names. My favourite was Greyson/Grayson but only one person in rl liked it and MN hate it, so it seams...but I like because it is a bit different. I like Ethan also but was told its quite common...Ive yet to meet one though.

Nathaniel was a back up name for DS1, I agree Nate is a cool NN. I actually hate Jayden & Kayden! Riley, Ashley, Albie also...

I forgot Elijah of the list.

Nathaniel (spelled this way with el at the end) or Conrad.

I like Elijah.

I like Riley, the others are abit other worldy. I like Alexander although it reminds me off that character from Buffy

Definitely Nathaniel/Nate. It's by far the nicest on your list and goes really well with Alexander/Alex, if that matters to you.

I think once you have gone with Alexander/ Alex it's a bit unfair on both children if the next one has something with a completely different vibe - like Connor or Greyson.

On that basis I would choose Nathaniel/Nate. I also really like Jamie, but think there are a lot more James and Jamie's about which from your OP may annoy you.

Nathaniel is lovely.

Hunter and Ace sound like Gladiators, sorry. I think it helps to imagine your son aged 50, balding, going for a promotion. On his CV I think Nathaniel and Conner sound suitable for life.

thatsnOtmyname your right they do, I got a flash image of Ace & Hunter then kinda WWA style lol.

These are not to my taste at all, sorry. I quite like Ashley but far prefer Asher. Nathaniel is okay. Hunter and Archer are bad and Greyson and Ace are both just awful imvho. Sorry.

Elijah is nice.

I don't like any , sorry.

I like Nathaniel and Grayson.

I know a baby Archer, known as Archie, he's super cute. Also like Nathaniel. What about Elias, Caleb, Cameron or Toby.

Wow, some people here can be really rude!

I like Nathaniel, Jamie (although maybe James with Jamie as NN), and Archer (with Archie as NN).

The rest are a little Americanised for me, and don't suit Alexander IMO.

Im not a lover of any of them to be honest.

If i was expecting a boy, my short list would be..

Jake
Luke
Lucas
Caden

I love Conrad (ds name so may be a bit biased)

Nathanial/nate is a nice name and goes well with Alexander

I do like Greyson but not so sure it fits with Alex (if thats important)

I am not keen on the other names on your list.
