Help needed with boy short list !

[ClementineAndCordelia]

We are struggling with boys names with only a few months left . Here are the names we like so far . Let us know what you think and please suggest similar ones along the same line / style which we may not have thought of . Thanks ! :

Arlo
Soren ( nn Sol?)
Spike
Sid
Sirus
Raif
Ruben
Frey
Emmet
Zefyr / Zephyr ( nn Zef ?)

That's enough to go on - am sure you get the idea ! Thanks

My favourites are Ruben (although I'd spell it Reuben) and Raif (although I'd prefer that Rafe or Raef). Not a fan of Zefyr/Zephyr or Spike I'm afraid. How about Isaac or Nye?

I like Arlo, Reuben and Cyrus. Or how about Quentin, Rufus or Dominic?

Like Arlo best. I like soren but not if you are in wales as sounds bit too much like seren.

Thor?
Bram?

Arlo or Rueben

Emmet.
What about Noi?

I think Reuben is the best of those, sorry. Or even Arlo.

Don't think much of the others...

I like Ruben from your list. I've been thinking about Ruben too. My short list (and it really is a short list!) is this, in order of favourites;
Freddie
Max
Theo.

What about Jax?
x

I also like Roman but unfortunately I know of a couple of little boys with that name and we don't really get on with one of the mothers! She's not a nice person at all and it really put me off using the name!

Don't like any of them, sorry. Fret and Zefyr are the worst. Raif looks silly with that spelling.

Reuben (this spelling) is the best, but it's not a name I love.

none of them really --especially Spike. OK as a nickname . like if you chose Sid.

You need to see how they pair with your surname and practice shouting it across the park

I love Zac/Zak/Zach but not Zack

Like all of them, Arlo is lovely. Prefer Raif spelt as Ralph or Rafe.
What about Otis, Rufus, Sidney, Zeb, Herbie, Leif.

I like Arlo and Soren. How about:

Conrad
Wreford
Torin
Hamnett
Godwin

Yes BlueChampagne we also like Torin a lot too . Everyone else : We wouldn't use most of the list when it came to it , they are just an example of our style . Arlo is the favourite , but our daughters name has the same four letters so might be a bit of a tongue twister ! Can't use Ruben as friends little boy has that . Not keen on many of the other suggestions sorry , although Nate is nice and they are all along the right lines . We like Sid but really don't like Sidney .Don't have a problem with short names or nicknames , it's longer names that we struggle with . Do like Atticus, but a friend has that . Keep them coming , thanks !

Soren is a fruit loaf.

The only one that's really to my taste is Ruben.

How about

Solomon (Sol)
Sullivan (Sully)
Jude
Jed
Tate
Beau
Lucian

I think the fruit loaf is ' Soreen' BlueStarsAtNight! Haha . I like Sol . Also like Sully when short for Sullian , but DH doesn't .Jude is interesting but just not me . Good list though !

Arlo, Sid or Spike?

Arlo.

I only like soren I'm afraid.

Arlo is a town on Essex, Reuben is v v well used here and the others sound made up or tryong too hard to be different.

How about Eli, Cassian, Seth, Zane, Rex?

I think the Essex town is Marlow.
Arlo is a name, like Arlo Guthrie.

Liking Sulien now ( nn Suli / Sully) . I haven't heard this around very much atall and saw it in a Welsh / Celtic names book the other day .Anyone heard of this / like it?

Some experts think that Arlo really does come from a place name - perhaps an Irish one mangled by an English poet (Spenser), or perhaps something Old English such as 'Eagle Hill'.

There is a Harlow in Essex (which is often pronounced 'Arlow)...

Have you considered Torben?
