Ideas for boys names, were stuck

Hi all,

We have a daughter called Charli. We are having a boy shortly.
Im just looking for some ideas on a name. I think my husband would like Brian after his grandfather as a middle name.
We have a long list of names neither of us agree on apart from possibly Oliver (Ollie). I am just not really feeling confident with it. I like the name, i'm just not sure if its right for us. If anyone has any ideas that go with middle name Brian and sister Charli, please go ahead.

Thankyou!

Is she Charli or Charlotte but you always use a nickname?

kenandbarbie · 29/07/2018 11:26

Teddy
Alfie

What do you like about Charli, that would help with ideas?

Lighthouse12 · 29/07/2018 11:32

Charli, my husband didn't like Charlotte so we went with Charli.

i like slightly unusual names i think, but not to unusual,. I like Alfie and Teddy but husband cant agree. I also like names such as Rueben, Rory, Levi, Eli but he dosen't seem to like any of them.

Some names above go with Brian as a middle name, eg those with 2+ syllables. Others I’ve thrown in there because they might be what you’re looking for.
As an aside I love love love Oliver. I might be biased though! And don’t let the popularity of it put you off. My Oliver has always been the only one in any of his classes.

I really found boys names hard!
My two are called Cohen and Raef unusual but now I'm starting to hear them everywhere!

OP, Lots of lovely names here, but I'm not sure they're in quite the same bracket as Charli. Ollie might be, though.

Reuben is the correct spelling, just in case your DH changes his mind.

I think Ollie (Oliver) actually goes well with Charli.

I was actually going to say Oscar but you can't have that! :o

How about:

Elliot Brian
Danny/Daniel Brian
Miles Brian
Hayden Brian
