Boys name to go with Allitt

Baby due in January and we are really struggling for names... we have a girls name (no not Beverley before anyone comments!)

I like strong names such as:

  • Cassius
  • Emerson
  • Elijah

DP doesn't like them and prefers more American names like Jackson and Cody (not a fan at all!)

Any ideas? Would like a good strong name that isn't too popular.

I prefer your name choices for sure. I think these would go well too:
Caleb
Osian
Silas

I think Emerson Allitt is a fab name but DP hates it Sad

I prefer your names and I like Elijah best! Think Elijah Allitt sounds cool. Emerson is quite American also though, don't you think, if it is the American-ness putting you off?

Emerson and Elijah are lovely.

What about:
Axel
Brody
Caspar
Cole
Dylan
Elias
Emrys
Hugh
Isaiah
Joseph
Memphis
Nixon
Otto
Odin
Quinn
Remy
Scott
Travis
Xander

@BevBrook it is quite American, it's the Cody/Brody/Zac etc type American names I don't like

Love Cassius or how about Quentin or Caspar?

Lol I was lucky that my OH likes strong names.. Maybe too strong.

Luckily we had a girl because he was set on Aurelius for a boy. And you know what? I would have let him 😂

Oh and he also loved Tiberius but that was never gonna happen.. Although I do love it! I loved his other suggestion of Tidus too.

Ashley Allitt, shortened to Ash. I think Ash Allitt sounds nice.

PippilottaLongstocking · 04/10/2018 23:23

I loved Cassius til I learnt it means something along the lines of shallow and vain

TatianaLarina · 05/10/2018 08:44

American names in the US sound fine. In the U.K. they sound very Essex.

Brody is not American it’s Scottish/Irish.

DinaNanna · 05/10/2018 09:35

We aren't too worried about what the name means.

I always thought Brody sounded very American! Probably because the only two I've met are American. I rescind.
