Help! I'm not in love with any boys names

45 replies

When it comes to girls names my "shortlist" is a mile long, but I'm finding boys names so much harder. At the moment I'm considering Zachary, Xavier or Jasper, but none of them really click for me. Ideally a
2 syllable name would go best with older sister Autumn, but that's not essential, I just want to fall in love with a name! Please help?

I don't think I've ever "fallen in love" with a name so don't overthink it.

Pick a name you like, one that suits your DC and remember you're naming a responsible adult not a baby then you'll be fine :)

I like your 3 list so far, particularly Xavier.

We found boys’ names incredibly hard compared to girls names. We have two boys. With our oldest we compromised which I regret since I really love the name I wanted and the name he has is ridiculously common now imo. With the youngest we were torn between picking the name with the same letter as our first and a completely different name that had the same amount of letters as his brother coincidentally. We went by the name meaning and we love his name.

How about Rowan? It is two syllables and is nature inspired so would go with Autumn. Are there certain names you like the sound of?

Your list is lovely, especially Jasper.

Rowan is a fantastic suggestion. Others:
