Boys name suggestions.... Struggling !

We're having a baby boy after 2 girls which is very exciting . But finding boys names so difficult 🙈

Cooper was mentioned at some point and OH is kind of stuck on that but I'm not as keen (although do like it ) . He hasn't put forward one suggestion but says no to pretty much everything I suggest !

Some I like are .... Adam, Ryan, Rory, Lewis.... Basically more common names .

Any suggestions along similar lines ?

Pretty common last name so most things go

Congratulations!! :) I really like Ryan and Adam! I'm not too sure about the other ones..

Can you suggest names similar to Cooper to DH - names which sound more euphonious? Hunter, Fletcher, Carter etc
Ask him why he has a special interest in barrels.
Tell him you’re ok with Cooper for a second name and give him a list of irst names to choose from.
Good luck

Cooper - a surname meaning 'barrel maker' just why??

Your other name suggestions are much nicer, although I would go for Louis rather than Lewis.

Joseph (Joe), Jacob (Jake), Benjamin, Samuel, Nathaniel, Gabriel, Patrick?

Pemba · 15/03/2019 16:52

Elias, Elijah, Daniel, or very traditional names like Edward, Harry, George, Thomas, William? Jonathan?

Ask him why he has a special interest in barrels Grin

I really like Cooper, I think it has character. I can’t imagine too many people pulling you up on the fact it means ‘barrel maker’ 🙄

Sullivan (think Sully is cute)

Haha yeah I'm not really one for looking up meanings of names so that wouldn't really bother me if we did go with Cooper..... I doubt many people would know the meaning, I didn't !

Just can't find anything that's jumping out at me . Girls names were so much easier.

I quite like Fletcher . Also like Harris but it's quite common along with Harrison and Harry . Like Murray too but don't think it goes very well with the surname (even after me saying it goes with most things! 🙈)

What are your girl names? If too outing, even their syllables etc as I like to her how sibling names flow... so two 2 syllable names need a single or triple one afterwards. Whereas Emily and rose could have a brother Max or Henry. 😂

Setting aside the meaning of 'Cooper' it is just a surname, and a really dull one at that.
