Boys Name we have loads

[BeauticianNotMagician81]

Ok so I like unusual names so if you don't you won't like any of these. I know that our name choices are very marmite.

I am pregnant with ds4 and this time around we are really struggling. So far we have an Evan, Clayton & Teddy.

Names we like are:
Bowie
Rafferty
Albie
Tate

Today we had FIL and DHs step mum over for dinner. We spoke about names and she said her dad was called Monty. I quite like it although our surname starts with an M but I think it goes well. I know that people may say about the dog thing but I get that with my son Teddy anyway. What do you think?

me personally I think Albie is the best out of those! Tate always makes me think of the Tate family who use to be in emmerdale 😆, and the other two are a bit sickly (again in my opinion)

I love Rafferty!

Bowie is quite cool too (are you a big David Bowie fan)?

Albie I love as a nn for Albert.

Not keen on Monty or Tate.

Like Teddy as a nn for Theodore or Edward.

I like them all, but like Monty the most.

I love Albie. would have used this if I had a boy

Don't think Monty is a dog name. Only one I know is a child! Love Evan. Don't like Bowie much, just a bit too...I dunno, try hard, in memoriam-ish (morbid)...but I like the rest.

I prefer Tate from those you have listed.

I think with Albie you'd need Albert on the BC as Albie might be a bit babyish once he's a teen/adult.

Bowie is ok if you're a fan but I think it would annoy me with the two different pronunciations (some people say bow as in crossbow and some say it as in take a bow.

I think my favourite is Monty

I say it like that maita!

Ah thank you so much for all the replies. Massive Bowie fan and its DHs fave but as much as I like a different name I don't want the boy to be teased.

Glad to see some good reactions to Monty. We really like it I've never heard it before and those are the types of names I love. I think it goes quite well with his brothers name Teddy. I don't have to call out to the older boys much as they are 11 & 9 so mostly play computer games/board games/read in their stinky bedrooms

Rafferty and albie/Albert
I like monty but there is a dog association for me.
Others are a no for me

I like Monty, Albie and Rafferty.

Oops sorry OP - missed the part where you said you already have a Teddy! . It's a good job I said I like it!!!

Tate by a long way.

Albie

I like Rafferty & Monty with your other boys' names.

Rafferty is absolutely gorgeous!! Name jealously

Rafferty or Tate.

Love Rafferty!

My friends dad kept loads of rabbits, they were all called Monty

Bowie is awesome. No one will tease Bowie!

Also like Albie and Monty.

I love love love Albie

Eek it's so close. I've added up the votes
Albie 8
Rafferty 7
Monty 7
Tate 3
Bowie 3

I think Rafferty goes best with your sons names

Anymore opinions it's so close that I still don't know which one to go for. DH keeps changing his mind two. It's difficult having 4 of the same sex when it comes to names aargh

I wouldn't go for Bowie. I don't know about other people but I spend his entire life unsure how to pronounce it, and hearing different pronunciations on the radio.
