Why are baby boy names so much harder?!?

I really like uncommon (not unusual!) names

Can anyone offer any ideas I feel like I'm really struggling 😩

So far I like Wilf and Evan 💙💙

Oh no! I came on to add Jonah (it's my son's name) as in his 3 years I've only met or heard of another 2. What are the other names in the family that it would cause an issue with? Mine has a cousin Joseph (joe) which hasn't caused any issues.

Other names on my list were Ezra, Xander, Elijah. I'm sure there were more. I'll come back later!

Evan is a great name.

Galvantula · 26/08/2018 23:07

I actually like Evan. Simple but a bit different.

Makes me think of the Lemonheads singer. Smile

DS has a name from you list of 70s classics above. The only people at school with the same name as him are dads doing the school run! I still like it as everyone knows it and knows how to spell it yet he doesn't have to be known by first name and initial as he is the only one with that name. There are several supposedly unusual names at his school where there is more than one with the name and I have heard the odd parent moan about how they picked it as they wanted an individual name.

Galvantula · 26/08/2018 23:13

Oo I like Murray. Only ruled out because I knew another little one.

Also Fraser.

I've met a Muir too.
