I like Ed and Nate.

Octopeppa · 18/06/2018 19:49

Jude or Rex.

LucyJ61 · 18/06/2018 19:59

@April How can you say Ro an with no ‘w’ sound? Genuine question! Love the name but I’m sat here mouthing it and I can’t do it!!

daisypond · 18/06/2018 20:01

Jude or Leo. Jude goes best with Eli (both Biblical names)

Namethatchange · 18/06/2018 20:04

Is Roan pronounced like Joan?
I think Jude goes best with Eli.

myotherbagisgucci · 18/06/2018 20:09

Flynn

narnie55 · 18/06/2018 20:11

Otis. This is one of my choices i love it!

Linus33 · 18/06/2018 20:13

I have a Rowan (16) and a Quinn (13). Quinn says he unique - there's only been one Quinn in all his schools! I feel things are changing. Obvs love both names but also love most of the others on your list.

Luca, rex, Quinn, otis I love these.

No to Ted as there are millions of them!

HyggeHeart · 18/06/2018 21:19

Love luca and jude!

BlackberryandNettle · 19/06/2018 08:06

Another vote for Luca or Jude. Same style as Eli (like a nickname of a biblical name?) and they sound good together

throwcushions · 19/06/2018 08:37

Pretty much what Jasmina456 said. I don't mind Jude though, and Nate is lovely if it is short for Nathan/Nathaniel.

A lot of your names sound a bit incomplete to me.

throwcushions · 19/06/2018 08:39

Oh and I agree with what a PP said. Roan has the potential for mispronouncing to rhyme with Joan / Groan. Better to spell it Rowan.

Aprilshouldhavebeenmyname · 19/06/2018 09:53

Just Ro an!! Maybe 'up north' accent makes it easier (?)

sonnyboo · 19/06/2018 10:21

Quinn and Otis!

I agree that Roan could be pronounced like Joan, in one syllable.

WrideD · 19/06/2018 10:46

I really like Jude, Bodhi and Ted, however, one my friends has two children Flynn and Elijah (Eli) and they are really cute together, so I'm a bit biased in thinking they would make great sibling names.

Quinn, I definitely see that as a girl's name and Rex just reminds me of a dinosaur.

Scottishgirl85 · 19/06/2018 10:53

Flynn by a very long way!

Lycanthropology · 19/06/2018 12:55

I'm surprised! I usually hate just about all mooted baby names on here (don't know why I come) but you have a great list!

I like Bodhi, Otis, Quinn, Luca
