Boys names beginning with M

31 replies

Bluebirdsky · 06/03/2018 14:17

DH and I both have names that begin with M and he is really set on us choosing a baby name that begins with M too. He doesn't ask for much really so I would like to support this but I am really struggling to find boys names that we like.

We like Max (full name would probably be Maxwell) and possibly Micah although I am still not sure.

For a girl we like Macie, Mia and Madeline (shortened to Maddie)

Grateful for any suggestions Smile

I love Mikey (not necessarily short for Michael)
How about Myles or Milo?

Matthew, Michael, Moses, Mark, Mason

Although I like Max!

Matilda, Mabel, Martha

I adore Mark, only ever met lovely ones. Definitely not used enough anymore.

Capecodbay · 06/03/2018 14:28

Matthew is a great name. I think it would sound very fresh on a little boy as you don't hear it as much these days.

Love Michael! It was on my list but DH vetoed because our surname begins with M and he didn’t want an alliterative name.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 06/03/2018 14:37

I also love Michael - should have said that! Great classic name.

Wow so many responses, thank you everyone Smile

Lots for us to look through and consider, Moses is one I hadn't thought of before and definitely like the sound of.

Just a thought, but do you really want to limit it to names beginning with M? Pick a name you love.
I love Max, Magnus and Michael, and Miles is quite classic.

flumpybear · 06/03/2018 21:33

Miles is lovely, Munro?

Martin (saw a little boy called Martin recently, he was lovely and his named suited him).
Miles (something about this I like)
Mason (work in education secondary , only met 2 but both lovely)

BackforGood · 06/03/2018 22:24

Can't think of any that haven't already been suggested, but am intrigued as to Why ?
Why on earth would you want all the people in your house to have the same initial ? I know you couldn't plan it with yourself and dh, but it was one of the "rules" of choosing names for our dc,that everyone had a different initial.

Bluebirdsky · 07/03/2018 07:35

@BackforGood as I said in my initial post it's something that DH would like; fortunately people are different and like to make different choices in life and have different preferences, it's what makes the world interesting rather than boring because we all exactly the same thing!!
