Partner thinks name is too feminine for boy

[Chalkybee]

Hi,

We're struggling to name
No. 3. It's going to be a boy and I really like Inigo but my partner thinks it's too feminine and pompously middle class... I don't see this and tbh, I don't want an overly masculine name either.

Boys are SO much harder to name!

Hugo?

Blaze

Phoenix

Milas

Falcon

Zain

In i (as in if) go.

Inny-go or In-eye-go?

Sorry if I'm being dense, I've never heard it before!

Ah thanks @TatianaLarina

How about Ivo or Jago ?

Inigo is way better than Bear.

Dov
Guillaume
Akiva
Sander
Finnegan
Ashkon
Florian
Beckett
Calder

As he likes Bear, then how about Rupert, Edward or Theodore?

(but not Paddington or Pooh)

Ichigo?

I love it. I admit I did immediately think of Inigo from the Pricess Bride, but he is a brilliant character. Love that film. So happy connotations to me. But like pp said, if you DH doesn’t like it, it doesn’t really matter why. Back to the drawing board. And yep boys names are very hard. Here was my list if that helps at all.

Rupert
Woody
Otto
Diggory (shortened or Rory)
William

Orry
Woddy

Inigo is an awesome name.

Watch the Princess bride with him, that will change his mind.

Alternatively watch 300 and suggest Leonidas, he can't complain that's too girly.

Amy, Nordic, your TV viewing for the weekend is sorted.

Jago’s nice. I know a very cool Jags.

(Jago’s nice except that iPhone autocorrect can’t cope with it)

'I am not left handed!'

I love love love Inigo. It was one of my top choices for ds. I also liked Sacha, Ivo, Cosmo, Caspar, Amos and Bram. We went with Raphael in the end.

I thought it was indigo spelt wrong 🙈

Love Raphael.

Jago is really cool. Would that be a good compromise OP?

What about Edward or Theodore - but called Bear - but naff maybe but then when he's older he has the choice of names.

What about Atticus, Buddy, Quentin, Leif, Silas, Noah, Moses, Elijah or Coen??

Good luck naming him

I love it.
And I love the Princess Bride but def wouldn’t put me off it.

Pipkins !!!!

Ugh, I hate it when people protest that a boy's name is too "feminine". It's like they are trying to turn their sons into macho assholes before they are even born. What is wrong with "feminine" names? A name is just a name. Can we leave the misogyny out of this?

Though do pick a name you both like.

Wouldn't t say it was feminine in my opinion...
