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 💙💙

As some of the names on here are equally questionable I had a Great Uncle Horace so I'd like to throw that name in the hat Grin

I know two 1yr old Wilfs (in London)

I work with a lot of children and toddlers and was desperate not to have a name on my caseload, and I still haven't years later. Not been mentioned here either. Can't say as it'd be outing.

Wilf is becoming v popular.
I love Sebastian but DH said no, it is now becoming popular.
The old, classic names are also making a come back.

Naming boys is hard!

We had Ricardo for a boys name x

minnierose3 · 11/09/2018 07:46

I like Felix and Barney, a bit of a cat and dog feel to them which puts me off a bit.

Think my ever growing shortlist is

Evan
Felix
Miles
Barney

There are some gorgeous name choices here but some unfortunately don't go with either my other children's names or our surname 😓

Jonah, Kit, Patrick xx

Putting you shortlist in order of pref:
Miles
Barney
Felix
Evan.

My firstborn son is Miles. He is 16 now and there's only one other in his school. He is Miles John.
