Boys names for my little fighter

[bubalou]

So unfortunately we found out after our 20 weeks scan that our little boy has a heart abnormality. I won't go into details but it will mean open heart surgery within days of being born.

We really want to give him a strong, non ridiculous name as he will need to be a little fighter.

Suggestions appreciated. We only have Max on our list so far.

Magnus or Felix

Rex?

Louis.... Think it means warrior

Sorry to hear about your little one. You could name him Stephen after Stephen Sutton. Or Andrew means strong.

Remo means 'the strong one'
Ethan means strong
Leo 'brave as a lion'
Finlay means 'fair warrior'

Cathal - Irish - strong in battle (KAhal).

Op

I know a child named Oakley, whose parents chose his name for very similar reasons to you. They wanted something strong and solid, and he has absolutely grown into his name.

I hope all goes well for you and your LO.

Leo is great.

There is a Turkish name, Yashar, which means life. I can't think of an English equivalent, but is that the kind of sentiment?

Nicholas means "the victor". Any good?

Christian, after Dr Christiaan Barnard?

If you're Welsh...
Llewelyn. Often shortened to Llew which means Lion.

Sending positive and healing vibes to you and your little fighter.

Feargus - variation on fighter/strong man.

Phillip
Alex? good strong king name
Julius

wishing him and you the BEST, XXXXX

Finlay as already suggested.
Ruairí

Leo means lion
Finley fair haired soldier
Theo. Gift from god

All have strong meanings.

Sorry bout your news, stay strong.

Sorry posted too soon

Donovan
Egon - young fighter I believe

Nathan isn't a fighters name but means gift from god.

Thor
Mark/c/us come from Mars the Roman god of war
Rex
Mason
Chester
Henry
Joshua means 'the Lord saves'
Clark or Kent?

Leo - fabulous.
The Ll letter for Llew is a bit of a mouth twister for non welsh speakers (wasn't being unnecessarily separatist).

Leonard - means 'brave lion'

Another vote for Leonard / Leo.

I hope everything goes well with his surgery .

Austin? comes from Augustus meaning Great etc

Cillian/Killian? It means battle

Thank you for all the great suggestions.

Have added some of them to the list.

Alexander, Andrew and Alistair all have similar defender/fighter meanings I think.

I thought of the name Victor, I love this name and I think it is good for a little fighter (and winner!)
Zachary means Remembered by God.
Evan is a Celtic name meaning fighter.
