Struggling with Boys Names

21 replies

MiniMacComing · 01/10/2017 07:47

Really struggling with Boys names for our arrival in December. No siblings but we're older parents so most names have gone to cousins, friends and other family... we like Fraser, Asher and Rafe... anyone any thoughts on additions to the list (not really looking for criticism of the above as it's all we've got and I don't need any more uncertainty!). We really like Flynn but it's in the family...** surname is really long ending in 'son' which tends to rule out all the Austin's and other cool on/en/in ending names.

I'm not sure why Austin wouldn't work with a surname ending in 'son'. Unless your surname is Bostinson.

You can have Austin. Like Austin Williamson or similar. It sounds fine!

Go for Fraser! Love it!

MiniMacComing · 02/10/2017 20:45

Thanks everyone... our expanded list is potentially going to include some of these! You literally won't believe how many we have ruled out because of some cousin or friend with a kid with the same name (I have 12 nephews on my side and my hubby has 8!) I know that shouldn't be a reason but we can't seem to get past it...
