Baby is due in a few months and we have no definite names for him! We have a few we like but none we love. Your opinions would be great! Names we like:

  • Justus
  • Kingston
  • Amaziah
  • Ozias

Thanks Smile

Just to add, I’m pretty sure my family hate all of them GrinConfused

I like Justus.

Kiaa · 12/05/2018 00:22

Kingston is nice 😀

peytonlia · 12/05/2018 01:46

I like is Kingston. What about Julius rather than Justus?

Freyanna · 12/05/2018 02:18

I like Kingston and Ozias.

Copperbonnet · 12/05/2018 02:32

Justus

Onceuponatimethen · 12/05/2018 02:40

Of all those only justus and I think you will be constantly correcting people mishearing as Justin!

Joeybee · 12/05/2018 03:06

You have a very different naming style to me, but here's my opinions of these names.

-Justus - I like it, and Just is a pretty good nickname. However I think people would think it was 'Justice' all the time, and correcting people may be annoying.
-Kingston - Personally I just think of Kingston-Upon-Thames and it puts me off. However ithout that association I think it's a quite a nice name. King is a good nickname. Kingsley is also a nice alternative to Kingston.
-Amaziah- Don't like this at all, sorry. It just sounds like someone saying Amazing in a derp kind of way.

  • Ozias - Not sure how this should be pronounced, like the potential for Oz/Ozzie as a nickname though.

I love Justus 💙

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/05/2018 06:18

Keep quiet about your chosen names, regarding family, announce the name when baby is born,

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/05/2018 06:19

Kingsley is also nice !

Are you white British?

Gencash · 12/05/2018 06:59

Thanks so much everyone :) I’m white British but my husband isn’t so we’re trhijg to find a name that isn’t too hard to pronounce but isn’t too typically English. It’s hard!

They're all good, strong, interesting names. My favourites are Ozias and Justus.

Spam88 · 12/05/2018 07:53

I think I'm with your family sorry 🙈 Ozias is my favourite, really don't like Amaziah because it sounds like amazing (and as amazing as he will surely be I think it's a bit much).

userabcname · 12/05/2018 07:55

I really like Kingston.

BikeRunSki · 12/05/2018 07:57

I really like Ozias.

Gencash · 12/05/2018 09:23

Thanks everyone :) yes I’m not too sure about Amaziah either but I’m getting desperate for names!!

I like Justus and Oziah.

Cosmoa · 12/05/2018 10:16

I love Amaziah, a friend just names her son Azariah which is similar.

I also love Ozias!

Justus actually reads as Just us.. So not too fond of it! Kingston is nice too but I think of the place in Jamaica.. Which isn't a bad thing! I just think it's not as nice as Amaziah and Ozias Smile

TatianaLarina · 12/05/2018 10:42

Kingston Jamaica = cool, Kingston Surrey = a bit pants.

TatianaLarina · 12/05/2018 10:43

I like Ozias the best.

What about Zachary?

BikeRunSki · 12/05/2018 13:31

Kingston Jamaica = cool, Kingston Surrey = a bit pants.

That’s all a bit relative unless you’ve been to Kingston upon Hull!

MikeUniformMike · 12/05/2018 14:12

Suggestions:
Justus - Justice or Justin?
Kingston - Kingsley? Kingston makes me think of Klingon.
Amaziah - no
Ozias - Hosiah

Of your list I would choose Kingston.

Onceuponatimethen · 12/05/2018 15:26

If you like Ozias what about Isiah?
