[LumpyCustard69]

Shortlist of boy's names;

Igor ( Iggy)
Oscar ( Ozzie)
Adam ( AJ)
William ( Will, or Liam or just William!)
Isaac (Zac)

Help!! being induced Friday and still have no idea

[Willow2017]

The kid is 4 now maybe op has chosen a name by now?😁😁

[Antonin]

Not Igor. The name has unpleasant associations in this Country re Frankenstein like monsters, vampires and bats

[user1493494961]

I can't see the point of choosing a perfectly nice name like Adam and then calling him AJ (assume he will have a J middle name). AJ is worse than Igor.

[MikeUniformMike]

Igor is great.

[Charlottejbt]

Oh dear. Zombie thread. Why do people revive them?

Because a name is for life, not just for Halloween.

I really like Adam, but think it would be a shame to turn it into AJ.

[123Dancewithme]

Iggy could be short for Ignatius, Inigo, Indigo, Viggo...

[Icantthinkofanewname87]

From your list I like Oscar, Isaac and Adam but I don’t think you can select the nicknames at this early stage - nicknames emerge naturally and even if you call him something, his schoolfriends might not use the nickname or use a different one

[Icantthinkofanewname87]

Not Igor! Really awful - Igor is the name of the creepy butler of some kind of evil scientist. I don’t even know where I got that from but it’s all I can picture.

[MuTRO]

Igor reminds me of Igor Suprunyuck. A Ukrainian serial killer. Don't like it.

[MrsGentlyBenevolent]

Gasp, I know Adam is quite a 'safe' and 'usual' name, it was purely in the context of this thread I found it ironic calling Igor something out of Frankenstein, when Adam actually is .

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I so fancy Inigo Montoya.

[Haahooooo]

I know an Ignatio. Could be Iggy? The one I know is known as Nacho though

[FrancesOldhamKelseyRIP]

Ooh Inigo! He'd have to put up with "wits" greeting him with "You killed my father! Prepare to die!" Twice a day for the rest of his life, but it still beats them hunching their shoulders and saying "Yesshhhh Master!"

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Not as names to turn into Iggy bit as potential names in their own right.

[happymummyone]

Isaac

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Inigo or Idris maybe?

[CrystalMcPistol]

Ignatius?

[LumpyCustard69]

Thank you for honest replies

I mostly like Iggy tbh, rather than Igor, but can't think of any other name it can be used from.
AJ would be made from having a 'J' middle name.

Oscar has been my favourite of the bunch, but I'm aware of how popular it is.

I like William and Adam because both are solid names and not 'fashionable', but also not too outdated (I don't think).

I really can't find any boy's names that I really, really like

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Mrs GB, I think most of us associate Adam with the Garden of Eden or any of the myriad other uses of the name, which do of course include Adam Frankenstein! Whereas for a British audience, Igor really only has one set of associations, unless you know one personally.

Of the names you've given, OP, William is by far the best.

[MrsGentlyBenevolent]

Igor sounds like 'something from Frankenstein', but Adam is OK? (don't like either of those names though, sorry). My pick is Isaac, I personally live it, but can't use it myself (surname issue).

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Igor sounds like a caveman.

The others are fine.

Ivan?

[CrystalMcPistol]

Igor always terrified me.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Agree that AJ is Not Good.
