I am looking for boy name suggestions. 😊Thank you for your help.

( I would not go for names like Daniel or Michael )

You don't get to decide if your son is going to be a middle class hipster boy, he will when he's older Biscuit

What is wrong with Michael?

RavenWings · 10/02/2018 08:34

Something like Derek would be legitimately hipster now - very rarely chosen. Names like Wolf, Blaze etc are for wannabe hipster sheep trying to be cool.

Why has the OP not returned to thank us for our creative hipster genius?

My best pal is called Ian, but he’s not cool although he’d claim to be the coolest of the cool!

LynetteScavo · 10/02/2018 08:40

I particularly like Vinyl as mentioned up thread.

Bob

or

Hercules

depending on the first name.

LynetteScavo · 10/02/2018 08:43

Duh- I read the thread tittle wrong - I thought you wanted a middle name.

I still like Vinyl, but it has to be Albert.

Albie or Bert for short.

JenniferYellowHat1980 · 10/02/2018 08:44

OP are you serious?

Dave

Taffeta · 10/02/2018 08:44

Failing that I loved Fixie, Flatwhite and Obsidian and was also surprised how long it took for Rogue to be suggested.

How could I have omitted:

Wtaf is a "middle class hipster boy"?! You sound like a bit of a tit if I'm honest, what a pretentious thread title. But seeing as you're so in need of attention I'll give you a couple:

John Thomas
Willy
Denver
Dick
Charlton
Jesus

Disclaimer: I may be grumpy after being kept awake all night by my working class geek boy.

It has to be gender neutral so most of these are out.
Sue?

Inarightpickleandchutney · 10/02/2018 09:07

I know someone who has a baby called Tudor

floriad · 10/02/2018 09:11

Tarquin, Leander, Orlando, Augustus, Spartacus, Cosmo, Wolfe, Fox, Ezra, Elijah, Octavius, Montgomery (not Monty!), Tristan, Maximus, Quentin, Reginald, Caspian, Xander, Pericles, Aurelius, Lucius, Farquhar.

Derek is actually rather awesome. It unfortunately reminds me of "Dreck", which means dirt in German.

But Derek is genuinely awesome :)

Forgot to mention Gary and Barry.

I’m wondering what characteristics could possibly make a child “cool”?
