If I like: Nat/ Pat/ Lou/ Jude/ Hugh/ Doug/ Jeff/ Dan

[ch1134]

Starting a new thread as I got lots of good responses on the last one but I wasn't clear enough!

I love one syllable names, which have a longer, more formal/ classic full name.

I love the following but can't have:

Anything ending 'an/en/on' so no: Fabien (Fab)
Anything with an ooo sound: Louis (Lou) Jude, Hugh
No 'at' either: Jonathon (Nat), Pat

I quite like:
Daniel (Dan) - not sure about the 'yul' sound
Douglas (Doug) - too Scottish?
Jeffrey (Jeff) - husband not sure
but not sure.

French/ Welsh/ Cornish associations good.

Any more ideas? Thanks

\i like Douglas and patrick but not so sure about Pat or Doug.
I like Jeff but I think it's not popular on mumsnet. I have similar taste to you I think. Dougie (doogie) I love, that was on my list! I love the name Donald!

Your names are ''porch sitter' names. American men born in about 1925-1945. Here are some more Porch sitter names off the top of my head.

Bruce
Victor
Leonard
Donald
Saul

From Swedish Edith's list I like Richie, Kim, Jem, Bobbie.

Your name taste (and swedish edith's name taste) is lovely, refreshing. A change from the usual without being ridiculous.

Leonard!

Leonard. Leonidas?? Lionel? I love Lenny for a boy.

I like Jared as mentioned up thread. Also Redmond. I quite liked the idea of

Red.

Just Red (for a boy)

Nobody I suggested it too got my vibe though!

Leonard - Len/Lenny is fab, it's on my list for any future ds!

Skylark2, I can't use any of them due to my surname and ds1 name!

Just realised, names starting with L are out too!
