Boys names that don't sound weird in my accent

[DwangelaForever]

30 weeks on Wednesday and I have zero boys names that I like! I already have a daughter called Charlotte so I reckon the name needs to be along the more normal line.

We are from Belfast and I find a lot of names just sound weird in our accent. Also no Irish names please as they wouldn't be common where I live and I'm not really a fan!

John
Alexander
Michael
Simon
Christopher
Henry
Daniel
Oliver

James
Paul
Thomas

I have NI friends called:

David
Alan
Owen

All sound fine! Are there particular sounds you'd like to try to avoid? I guess an -or- sound is a bit different in your accent maybe?

I’m from Belfast and apart from Howard or Aaron I can’t really think of any other names that sound bad with our accent.

Toby, Adam?

I'm from Belfast and off the top of my head DS's knows boys with these names

Patrick, Sam, Ryan, Lucas, Archie, Andrew, Adam, Luke, Alan, Ben, lots of biblical style names like Jonah, Daniel.

I used the can I bellow it across a playground without it sounding bad test

I have NI friends called Simon, Tom (Thomas) and Stephen. I think their names sound good in their accents.

If your accent is broad some names do sound wierd, I knew of a Tamara Knight

James and Luke are terrible in an NI accent- avoid!

Martin
Reuben
Stephen
Philip

Oh I love James in a Belfast accent!

John is another nice one. Andrew, Jamie, Mark, Matthew all sound nice too (BILs parents live on the Shankill Road and he has lots of cousins)

@YeTalkShiteHen I live near there so you can imagine my accent hahah.

Thanks everyone, why is baby naming so hard without having to worry about accents on top

My Belfast friends were Mark Michael Simon and Gary (not sure that last one is ready for a come back but maybe?)

I love an NI accent. I have two colleagues from NI, and I could listen to the talk all day... sigh.

Charlotte is a lovely name, and goes with lots of boys names easily.
Arthur
Edward
Thomas
Frederick

Adam
Alexander
Andrew
Benjamin
Christopher
Daniel
Jonathan
Matthew
Thomas

@museumum my dad is called Gary he would love that hahah!

@DwangelaForever I can! I could listen to you talk all day it’s a gorgeous accent!

Louis or George go well with Charlotte
