If I like these boy names...

If I like these names, what else might I like?

Arthur (worried too popular)
Quinn (someone mentioned quim...🙄)
Louis (worried will become too popular)
Rafe (too ‘upper class?’)
Hector (surname begins with H also)
Edwin (husband doesn’t like nickname ‘Ed’)
Leonard/Lennie (not sure on this one)

We love all the names but seem to be reasons to not pick them. Any other name suggestions? We may settle on one of these in a few weeks but want as many ideas as possible!

Edwin nn could be Win. I've seen it used that way once Smile

If you like Hector, maybe Struan?

I don't get the worried it's too popular bit? A popular name is that for a reason, it's a good name?!

If my second dd had been a boy he would have been Edwin nn Ned if that helps.

I love the name Quinn (and had never heard of quim until someone mentioned it on MN).

Actually I'm not keen on the meaning of 'to hector' or the nickname Heck?!

Love all the others.

Diddleysquat · 19/05/2019 10:42

I would spell Rafe Ralph but I guess it works both ways. What about Randolph, Randal or Ranolf?
Jonty, Monty and Jonno go with your list too.
