Running out of time... Help with boys names

42 replies

DC3 is due imminently and we are struggling to find any boys names that we love. If it's a girl we are sorted, if it's a boy poor thing might be nameless at this rate. First 2 are girls so never actually had to name a boy so far...

We like Arthur, but DH says he fancies something with a bit more impact, though of the same genre. I think he wants something more unusual, but he's likely to vault at anything to way out!
My favourite boys name is Thomas, but can't use it.

Ideas please!

He he! I like it! It's one of those names that fits the genre but no one else will have.. Smile

Like Arthur-particularly like the shortenings Art or Artie. So he could be Art both as a nickname and as an "initial-spelling-out" name if you go with your R middle name.

Think there's nothing wrong with either!

We also have a boy very soon. I think we have decided on a name from the list below. I hope you find something soon - it's hard this naming business!

Marcus
Luke
Aidan
Finlay
Christopher (Kit/Chris)
Michael (Mikey)
Henry
Daniel
Benjamin
Zachary
Leo
Oliver
Joseph (Joey)

We would use either Jonah or Noah if it was a boy.

Alfred?
Arthur is superb though.

Wordsaremything · 27/07/2016 21:01

Christopher/kit
Or
Stream consciousness Grin
Robin?

I was about to suggest nn Art, which is a bit more out there, and I really like. You'd have the added benefit of it being his initials too!

Gerald.
Phillip.

Wordsaremything · 28/07/2016 23:35

Horatio

Guy ( you can then do multi syllables in middle names)
Rufus
Rupert

I do love Phillip, and Philippa too.
