Struggling with boy names!

So I am a first time mum, I had a previous loss at 17 weeks and we already had his name picked out.
However this time round there is not a name that stands out and I want to stick too.

At the moment the names I like are:
Reggie (but stuck for a middle name)
Archie (getting a lot more popular for my liking)
Milo (although partner isn't keen)
Zachary (partner prefers Zachariah)
Freddie
Luca
Hugo

I'm so undecided 🤷‍♀️ with 6 weeks left to go 🤰 x

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Congrats OP.

From your list, I like Milo, Luca and Hugo.

Archie and Freddie are by far the worst in your list. They're so popular at the minute. Archie is a very wet name and Freddie just isn't a 'full name'.

NewSparkle · 25/03/2018 17:32

Luca & Hugo for me. Congrats also!

LastNightsMakeUp · 25/03/2018 17:39

Zachariah and Luca are my favourites on your list 😊

chezmk1988 · 25/03/2018 17:48

Zachariah but Zachary is also nice

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 25/03/2018 18:19

Hugo is my favourite (maybe Hugh? Hughie is cute for a baby)
Then Freddie, short for Frederick. Fred is great! Grin

Not keen on the others, sorry. I like Luca, but there are so many now that it's lost it's shine for me a little.

TheDowagerCuntess · 25/03/2018 18:20

Reggie, Archie, Freddie - no.

Luckingfovely · 25/03/2018 18:23

Hugo!

catweasel44 · 25/03/2018 18:27

Don't give anyone a shortened -ie name

Frederick yes
Archibald yes

Then they will have options

Luca is trying to be original but I know at least 3.

I prefer Hugh to Hugo but know one of each.

Zach is a nice name either way.

MikeUniformMike · 25/03/2018 18:38

Reggie (but stuck for a middle name) - Veggie
Archie (getting a lot more popular for my liking) - Dog's name
Milo (although partner isn't keen) - No
Zachary (partner prefers Zachariah) - 'yes
Freddie - No. Fred is awful.
Luca - Fine in Italy.
Hugo - yes

Sophronia · 25/03/2018 19:08

Congrats, I like Zachary best.

Petalflowers · 25/03/2018 19:12

I like Zachary/Zachariah the best,

starkid · 25/03/2018 19:17

Zachary and Luca get my vote

AnyaMoondial · 25/03/2018 19:39

Hugo is my favourite. Congratulations !

Rockandrollwithit · 25/03/2018 19:42

I have a Hugo, fab name!

I really like Zachariah. You can still call him Zach but it's a bit different.

If you like Milo do you like Miles?

DarkestBeforeDawn · 25/03/2018 19:51

I really like Milo and Hugo! Congratulations!

coffeecupplease · 25/03/2018 21:38

I like Really like Milo and Arlo but DH wasn’t keen. We ended up with a Jasper.

Smoliver · 26/03/2018 00:08

Congrats OP. From your list, the names I like the most are Reggie, Freddie, Luca and Hugo.

MadMaryBoddington · 26/03/2018 20:28

Hugo.

daisypond · 26/03/2018 20:35

Reggie -no. I just think East End gangster.
Archie -no, but better than Reggie. I'm not keen on diminutives for names. It's babyish.
Milo -OK-yes
Zachary -yes
Freddie - best of the lot of your "ie" names, but I still think it's babyish.
Luca - if you've got Italian connections
Hugo -OK-ish, but it has "posh but dim" associations for me.
