I’m struggling to find any boys names that I don’t hate. Girls names are so much easier!
I already have a daughter called Violet, any suggestions for a boy??
So far my long list is
Stanley
Wilfred
Douglas
Luca
Leon
Frederick
Ellis
Brodie

DD2 is Violet & DS is Theodore 💙

Stanley, Wilfred, Douglas, Leon, Frederick, Ellis all work well, IMO. I like Luca but think Lucas works better. Stanley is my favourite front your list.

We’ve considered/are considering: Zachary, Quentin, Walter, George, Sebastian, Oliver, Dominic, Elijah, Elias, Jasper, Miles, Arthur, Alexander, Elwood, Otis, Warren, Benjamin, Julian, Oscar, Rueben & Samuel

Violet and Sebastian instantly came to mind for me.

I thought Will before I opened the thread, to see you have William as a contender.

Definitely William

I wouldn't match a V name with a W name, its quite hard to say them quickly together and not get Wiolet and Villiam...!

Douglas

tammytoby · 08/12/2018 12:21

Douglas or Stanley.

I also like Quentin, Dominic and Sebastian.

@Alfred190 so that when you say "Violet and , please come here!" or "These are my children, Violet and ", it doesn't sound silly.

Violet and Eddie (Edward) was the first thing that came to mind.

moredoll · 10/12/2018 01:17

They don't have to match, but Violet and Vincent are brilliant together.

Brodie makes me think of ‘Miss Jean’ or Jaws
Stanley is cool

CheeseTheDay · 10/12/2018 12:16

I came on here to suggest Stanley, and there it is, on your list.

I know a sibling set of Violet, Arthur, Clara and Stanley, and I've always particularly loved Violet and Stanley as siblings. The other two names work well too, but there's something about Violet and Stanley, which has always made me swoon.

Violet and William is a good sibset

TatianaLarina · 10/12/2018 16:17

Violet and Sebastian instantly came to mind for me.

Me too.

Can’t use William because of Violet Elizabeth.

SantaBabycharly · 10/12/2018 16:22

Roland
Bertram
Anthony
Richard

tammytoby · 10/12/2018 17:01

You really can't have Violet and William!

sue51 · 10/12/2018 17:35

Anthony
Alfred
Gregory

tammytoby · 10/12/2018 20:14

I think Violet needs another 'old' name like Stanley, Theodore, Quentin, Arthur or Frederick.

cheesydoesit · 13/12/2018 13:04

Percy.

Creamcrackeredx · 13/12/2018 15:42

Thanks for lots of lovely suggestions. Love Theodore and Quentin, I’ll put them on the list.
Herbie’s very cute but I’m not sure I could call him Herbert as a full name!
