Names for darker haired boy?

[Beccasaurus]

Hi,

Me and my husband are struggling to agree on any boys names. We have agreed on a few girls names we like, but I am worried that if the baby is a boy we will keep going around in circles.

I like names like Henry and Charlie - both vetoed by my husband. He likes Oscar, which is nice, but I am struggling to love it.

We both have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, so I would be surprised if Baby didn't end up with the same. Please can people give me some suggestions for names that would suit a darked haired boy?

Kieran means dark haired I think. Or Bruno?

I guess it depends whether you mind giving him a name that means fair (eg Finn).

Though my DH and I both have dark hair and brown eyes and our son is fair and blue eyed so you never know!

I'm just looking for inspiration more than anything. I love traditional names, but now that my favourite names have been vetoed I'm really struggling to find any other names I like. I find girls names a lot easier.

Not sure about dark hair, but if you are looking for ideas: -

Joseph
Ross
Luke
Michael
Raphael
Joshua
Ezra
Zachary
Sebastian
Gregory
Caleb
Jeremy
Howard
Joel
Isreal
Louis
Daniel
Stanley
Antony
Warren
Andrew

Fwiw, ds was dark haired - like me and dh - but now his hair's much lighter.

DS was born with dark hair like daddy and is now bright red like mummy!

I don't know if particular names only suit certain colourings or not, maybe more Mediterranean names suit darker children and more Scandinavian/celtic names suit fair/red heads but quite often they change after a few weeks!

Henry, Charlie and Oscar make me think of...

Edward
Rory
Robin
James
Joseph
Arthur
Frederick/Freddie
Isaac
Benjamin
Daniel
Reuben
Seth
Gabriel
Rafe
William
Jasper
Oliver
Otis
Samuel
Lucas
Max

Otis
Morgan
Peter
Dominic

What about Harley or Harvey?

My dark hared baby boy is now a darker haired adult and he is called Kieran - his name was picked prior to his birth but totally suits him
My equally dark haired step-son is called Alex

Alaric
Bruno
Cole
Dale
Ezekiel
Flint
Garric
Harlo
Isaac
Joseph
Kai
Lorenz
Mario
Nile
Otto
Philip
Phoenix
Quintin
Ralph
Scott
Timothy
Uri
Victor
Wyatt
Wilder
Xavier
Zeb

Thanks for the suggestions. I think part of the problem is that I still really love the name Henry and I need to get over the fact that I can't have it (Husband hates it).

I definitely prefer traditional names though. Why do I find boys names so hard?

If not Henry-

Hugo?

Heath?

Hector?

Hamish?

Maurice.
Bruno.
Nero.
