3 letter boy's names

[NannyPear]

31 weeks pregnant with a baby boy and driving myself nuts over his name. The only one that we both really like is Leo, but it's becoming so popular where I live. I don't mind popular, timeless names (e.g. Alexander, Jack etc) but don't want one that connects too much to a certain generation. Is Leo too faddy?

So as it seems we've taken a liking to 3 letter names, and in the interest of narrowing down our options, I would love to hear your favourites!

I love Leo and really like Max. They are both very popular but for good reason.

Of the more unusual names I like Art and Ray best. I also like Kit and Eli.

Surely there’s more dogs called Alfie, Milo, Jasper, Jack than there is Rex.

Rex was popular in the 50s and 60s as a dogs name but not any more.

Makes a change to all the Harry’s and George’s.

My son has a three letter name, but his birth certificate has the longer version and he can revert to it when older if he chooses to. It comes up whenever there are changes, e.g. in school, but he changes it to the shortened version.

I know that you do not see the point, but I am personally in the same position and now like having the full version of my name on my birth certificate sounds more serious if I want to complain

I really, really like Max I know it's a classic "dog" name but I think it's a really strong, lovely name.

Dax

I want a Hal!

I have a child with a name on here. Another with a very short name which is short for something longer. We didn't name them the full name on their birth certificate as we liked the shortened ones better. But, when we are being silly we will still say the full version! I don't regret not calling them the longer ones for a second, it's so much easier to just have one name.
