No idea for a name

[Tiredmum31]

I'm due in just over a week and have no idea for a boy's name. Our surname is a noun and I would prefer a name people can spell and pronounce easily. We can't have these names due to family:

Jack, Leo, Theo, Charlie, Jake, Dylan, Grayson, James, Frankie, Bobby, Luca, Joshua, Harry, Joseph, Isaac, Kieran.

My partner and I just can't agree on any. Help! Nothing too out there please.

The only names we can agree on are Harrison, Finn and Finlay but I'm just not sure if I can see our boy being called these.

Felix, Teddy or Rafael (Rafa)?

What's your concern with Harrison, Finlay etc?

Hudson
Blake
Sean
Devin

Theo is the name of our son so Teddy would be too similar.

With Finlay I think everyone would spell it Finley and I don't want Harrison to be shortened to Harry.

Oscar
Frederick
Arthur
Max
Monty
Toby
Thomas

I quite like Finn
Jude sounds quite cute with Theo? Or George?

Elliot
Marcus

Sebastian, Jasper, August, Flynn, Gabriel, Lennon, Oscar, Xander, Rory, Xavier?

Lucas
Brody
Evan

We have a Harrison who is 9 , he's the only one in his school and he loves his name .

He doesn't get harry much to be honest though his little school friends nick named him harribo 🤦‍♀️

Forgot to add Harris is a nice shortening for harrison (in my opinion)x

But also love Finlay xxx

Ezra
Keir

Conrad
Robert

How about Flynn instead of Finn?

Or Quinn?

I am swaying more towards Finlay (Finn for short) and Harrison (Harris if we do shorten it). Do you think these go well with Theodore?

The suggested names are lovely, just some like Conrad are prob a bit too posh for us x

I also thought of Rudy and Miles but wasn't really sure. I love George but my partner isn't keen. He likes Jude but MIL is Judy and so I'm not sure

Ellis
Fraser
Isaac
Lewis
Zachary
Nathan
Elijah

Nate
Elliot/Ellis
Ethan
Max
Oliver

The Theos I know have brothers called Caleb and Josiah.

Flynn
Raffety
Rufus
Connor
Samuel
Robert
Daniel

I like Harris/ Harrison and it sounds nice with Theo. Theo and Finn is a bit harder to say in one mouthful!

I think Harrison is awful although I did feel sorry for Meghan Markle & Prince Harry getting so much stick for choosing names with such strong class associations.

But I’m just one random no one on the Internet - nothing you choose will be universally loved

Rory
Jesse
Cody
Hugo
Henry
George
Ethan
Jacob
Benjamin
Levi
Jonah
Gordon
Thomas

Harrison is yuk, although I do generally hate surnames as first names. It's also so zeitgeisty, but not because of the royals, it was before that. I just think it's naff.

Finlay is much nicer. I personally prefer Finn on its own, but fair enough if you want a longer version.
