Middle name for Oak

[notjudging87]

Just had my 20wk scan and confirmed we are having a boy. We had loads of girls names, but no boys names. My DP is Lithuanian, so would like Azuolas which translates into Oak. I really like Oak, but not Azuloas. Name would be Oak, not Oakley.

Can you think of a middle name to go with Oak?

I realise the name Oak is a little unusual and not to most peoples taste. Ideas please?

Oak the Bloke.

I like unusual names but Oak isn't so much unusual but a bit silly. Think about the longer term. Would you go with Brick or Grass - probably not for obvious reasons.

It’s not very often I literally laugh out loud from something I read online but omg your comments I just couldn’t help myself. 😂

Bloody hell, you better hope poor Oak is born with a well seasoned bark because kids are going to have a field day with that one !

You really don't want to call your child a name that people with have to suppress the urge to laugh on hearing. I met a 'whisper' once and I was not ready for that at all. I felt awful!

Oak Ryest

"Oh Christ"

Teebee wins the thread for me
Oak Ecokey
Haaaaaaa

Chester?

Oak Hayden?

Having an unusual name doesn't mean you'll get laughed at, and having a "classic" name doesn't preclude you from it. Bet Bear Grylls doesn't get bullied
I think Oak is nice - oak trees are known for being sturdy and living a long time aren't they? Those are nice connotations to give your child.

Will he have a Lithuanian or an English surname, OP? That'll influence the middle name significantly IMO.

Harold. He could become an amazing Neil Sedaka tribute act.

Oak really is so unusual, I can't imagine it would suit anyone but a strapping young man with bags of attitude. What if he grows up to be very slightly built? He might never live up to a name as mighty as Oak.

Bear Grylls name is Edward.

Of course you can have a wide range of nicknames and unusual names but please think; this is something someone will be saddled with for the rest of their life.

Bet Bear Grylls doesn't get bullied

No I doubt he does because his actual name is Edward Michael Grylls (hmm). The trouble is Oak is not a name by all means call him Azuloas and nickname him oak, at least then he has the choice when older to have a real name.

It's hard picking names when you are from different countries. Dh and I struggled as well. But pick names that are names in at least one of your countries, not everything translates well and Oak isn't a name for a person.

If you like it, change your own name to oak and think of something else for your child.

I love Oak. Francis as someone suggest above goes well. I think something a little more ‘feminine’ for lack of a better word, works because it’s such a masculine first name.

Seriously OP Oak is a harsh, ugly name. There are so many beautiful boy names please reconsider.

It's also the noise my cat makes when she's about to vom.. oak oak oak bleurgh

Pheebo?

Veto.

I would use Oak as the middle name instead

Bear Grylls may be called Edward but he named his own children Marmaduke and Huckleberry which are a bit of a burden.

Oak is a terrible name. The boys in school will ask him if he's 'got wood'.

Bear Grylls went to public school where the range of names are different to the average kid.

Oak is going to end up with a lot of nicknames that are unflattering. For example, Boak (a word farm used on MN) , jokes about wood, Okey Dokey etc

Im assuming the pp who suggested Hayden was joking...?

Oak Hayden sounds awfully like 'ok then' 😂

This thread 😂😂😂

Particularly like 'got wood' and 'furniture land'.

Op please don't give your kid a name that is going to make him a target for bullying.
