Boy names are tricky...

[FASH84]

We have a double barreled surname think foster-sheppey (not this but same syllables and first letters) I've got a few girls names in mind but am really struggling with boy names. We don't want really out there or unique but also not half a dozen in each nursery class, write like something a bit traditional.
Girls names I like are;
Tabitha
Violet
Jude
Maybe Verity, Clementine

The only boy name I'm considering at the moment is Dexter but would like more options.
DH is very unhelpful and just suggests Marvel characters or F names so their initials would be FFS and then giggles..

Any suggestions appreciated!

*quite not write

Your girls name shortlist is similar to mine! So assuming we have similar taste, the boys names we’re considering are:

Alistair
William
Arthur
Laurence
Edward
Rory
Wilfred

Some might be too popular for you - I find it hard to find less popular boys names I like!

Daniel
Dylan
Rex
Leon
Zane
David
Caleb
Morgan

Patrick.

Isaac, Arthur, Felix, Rupert, Winston

Sebastian
Felix
Daniel (not common for little ones atm)
Jasper
Casper
Crispin
Philip
Peirce
Max
Miles
Willoughby

I do like Felix, but it's the FFS dilemma.. Jasper is nice too thanks applesandpears. I like a lot of the names suggested but am finding with girls names I feel a stronger attachment, hopefully it's a premonition!

Jude?

Jude feels like more of a boy's name to me because of Jude Law. And you do already like it.

Do you think Jude is ok for a boy? DH isn't convinced despite Jude law!

Waaaay more baby boys called Jude than girls these days.

Just look at the stats:

JUDE (boys): Up from 654th to 62nd
JUDE (girls): Down from 1434th to 1749th

I have a boy Jude the only girl Jude I've every come across was a middle aged women who's name was Judith & she shortened it x

I'd assume Jude was a boy, too. I really like it.

Dexter is nice or how about Quentin or Magnus?

I thought Jude was a boys name... Totally works for your boys list

I lived Jude my husband didn't because if Jude Law. I ended up with a Morgan.

I'm going to try that with no spelling mistakes...
I loved Jude. My husband didn't because of Jude Law.
I ended up with a Morgan.

That's better 😁

Clement for a boy as you like the female version?

Clarence
Chester

Miles
Marcus
Gregory
Niall
Edwin
Edgar
Calvin
Brodie
Lyall
Simon
Peter
Gideon
Silas
Cyrus
Claude

I agree that Jude is more of a boys name, I only know male Judes.

Alexander
Saul
Jonathan
Vincent
Samuel
Benedict
Tristan
