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 💙💙

Did someone seriously suggest Thatcher?! Can you imagine? Grin

@SumAndSubstance yes I saw Thatcher I think My mum would have a heart attack if I named a baby that!

Lots of the ones that I quite like Jude, bobby, Xavier are taken by friends

Also like Kit it's quite quirky but wouldn't go with our surname

Jay is cute but there are way too many Jays already in our family!!

My youngest childs name was just branded awful Sad

minnierose3 · 27/08/2018 08:20

@MinisterforCheekyFuckery @Galvantula ahh thanks I like Evan and think I'm warming to it even more all the time.

I personally don't like Eban which has been suggested it's too out there for me personally but a (not close) friend has named her DS that do you think it's a bit too close?

We have Wilfred Smile
We tend to call him Wilfred at the moment. Occasionally Wilf or Fred. Love both NN possibilities.

What about Walter?

Euclid.

herecomesthsun · 27/08/2018 08:31

David, Michael, Adam, John, Anthony?

Most likely would be the only one in the infant school.

@galvantula we have a family member called Murray who is absolutely lovely but just not sure I like it 😕

@eatmycheese, think I love Florian but not sure we could get away with a 'Florian' 😕

I like Phineas. And that was before I realised the name of the lead in the greatest showman. It's been on my list for years!

wildewillow · 27/08/2018 09:09

We know an Alben who gets called Albie for short.

minnierose3 · 27/08/2018 09:16

@wildewillow not exactly much 'shorter'?!? 😂 I do really really like Albie but think that's becoming pretty popular now x

Posted too soon! I have a girl Frances. And also a Josephine (Josie) they definitely go together!

I totally get what you mean by uncommon but not unusual. My other girl is Esther.

minnierose3 · 27/08/2018 09:30

Ahh @mototroll I love Francis or really Fran for a boy but a close friend has a boy Fran 😓

Alaric aka Ric
Joseph
Stefan
Lorenzo
Klaus
Elijah
Marcel
Kaleb

All the best x
