Short boys names

[TheDuchessOfBoxford]

DS1 has a one syllable first name that's pretty unusual in England. We like short names as these work best with our surname. We are really struggling to find a short name for DS2 who is due shortly.

Our list is:
Finn (too popular)
Max (seems quite mainstream compared to unusual DS1)
Fox (too out there for first name?)
Keir (too similar to other name in family)
Ace (is it too out there?!)
Jude (there's a few near us)

We don't like royal names, anything top 20 but equally don't want to lumber the child with anything outrageous

What do you think of the above and any more suggestions for short, "cool", boys' names?

Jem (might be a bit girly, don't know your taste there? 9 boys given it in 2016)
Rudy (two syllables, I know, but short and seems to fit with what you like)
Kai

Tate
Luke
Rhys
Rex
Seth
Saul
Ned
Hugh

Cruz

Ben, absolutely love that name

I love fox! Gorgeous!

Leo, or Tom?

Love the name Rudy. I considered it if my baby turns out to be a boy.

Please not Ace. It immediately makes me think of Red Dwarf. Smoke me a kipper. I'll be back for breakfast

Roan

Kit, Jett, Kai, Cole, Jay, Brice, Kurt, Zane

I love Fox and kinda like Ace (makes me think of the pet detective but that’s not necessarily a bad thing really)

Sam

Rex

I really like Ned

I love Gus, Quinn and Rex. Think these fit with your style too.

Wolf

Ben
Joe
Kit
Dan
Rod
Ron
Asa
Kai
Jay

Ace could be short for Jason

Bram
Jett
Cole
Ludo

Asa
Leo
Seth
Jon
Jay
Otto

Jed

Zak

Chase
Lex
Sam
Ted

Dex
Flynn
Cade
Rab
Zac

Some great suggestions

Seth - love this but awful with our surname
Kit - really like
Quinn - like this too
Rex - this too although a friend has one
Tate - along the right lines
Ned - I'm surprised how much I like this

Joe, Ben, Sam and Tom just all a bit safe for us

I still think Ace (definitely not short for Jason) is a contender. I'm just a little young for peak Red Dwarf - my older sister a fan and I don't think it'll mean anything to kids born now!

Fox!
