Boys names - so hard!

[Leleophants]

Is it just me?

It seems with girls you can be more creative whereas with boys there are such strong connotations to whatever you choose! Please note these are names I LIKE. Other people have told me the connotations already...

• Boring e.g. James, Matthew, Sam (and tbf these would be middle names as that's half my male friends!)
• Old man names and now just as common as the first lot! E.g. Arthur, Alfred (Alfie), Archie
• Sound overly posh and potentially camp (and we have a long and posh sounding surname as it is) e.g. Rupert, Castor
• Sound like a dog/cats's name or just a joke e.g. Jasper, Casper,

Anyone found a name without these big assumptions? Any regrets?

Ridiculous assumptions about names, op, especially for ruling out great names for fear of them being canine or camp !

Sorry about the multiple posts it always said 'failed to post, try again'.

OP you sound seriously annoying, need to chill and just focus on your baby and names that you think sound nice, not about every possible stupid connotation/connection/ other people’s potential assumptions.
Astronica is spot on.

I get you OP!

Peter is a lovely name which I think avoids those categories, also maybe David?

Yeah I totally get what you're saying OP, ignore the haters. Boys names are harder.

Still, some pps have suggested lots of great names that don't fit your categories so hopefully you'll find something there.
