Please suggest a boys name, I'm at my wits end 😣

[Marzipanspice]

I'm expecting and unsure of the sex, as of yet. However, I'd love to have names sorted.

It's 100% Lydia for a girl.
I really liked Elliot for a boy,but I'm a bit put off now because someone mentioned it being a surname and it's too much of a mouthful. Which I've taken on board, since my old surname was Clark and I rember being shocked when an old school friend decided to call her boy Clark.
I don't like all this modern nonsense, so nothing like that. And no Oscar, James etc types.
I really loved the name Darren or Micky (Michael on paper), (my background is EastEnd/Spanish), but OH won't allow it.

My favourites are:

Nathan
Toby
Jamie

Why bs out off a name because someone on the internet says they don't like it. Plenty of names can be surnames. I'd say Elliot is more recognised as a first name rather than a surname. Also I wouldn't say Elliot was too much of a mouthful.
FWIW IMO Elliot is a lovely name and very underused.

Ooh my favourite is Nathan too!

Also like:
Leon
Hayden / Aidan
Zachary
Marcus
Rowan
Jacob
Ciaran
Simon
Daniel
Tobias
Jared
Owen
Isaac
Joel
Theo
Justin

Weirdly, I was going to say Nathan!

It sounds like I made it up now!

Elliot's lovely - and would go very nicely with Lydia if you had a girl in the future.

What about
Ellis
Eli
Elias
Elijah

Vixxface, Eli and Elijah has always sounded quite African to me for some reason.

My ds is called Elliott. Why worry about what other people think , it's your choice not theirs? If you like it use it.

I like Elliot! Mine is a Dylan, I liked Toby too.

Think I'll stick with Elliot after all then ;)

Op- think it was me on a previous thread that questioned whether it was a surname!! Don't listen to me!! No-one in RL does!!

I'm considering Elliott myself for potential ds3 (I'm 8 weeks). I was a bit unsure whether it sounded like a made up first name- but I'm growing more sure of it!

I really like Elliot. If you like it, use it.

Haha, no worries zippyswife. I'm just unsure if I should spell it 'Elliott' or 'Elliot'

I LOVE Elliott. If you like it keep it! If you take everyone's opinions on board you'll never manage to pick a name!

However, names I love for a boy: Seth, Jonathan, Arthur, Edmund, Nathan, Robin, Gregory, Eli, Edward.

Edmund, Gregory.

DS2 is being called Nathan! Due in 10 days.
Elliott is s lovely name, so is Micheal but my kids dad vetoed that too, on the grounds it's his name and he hates it

I really like Elliot, and would probably see it as more of a first name than a surname.
