Boys names-opinions please!

[sugarsprinklesrainbowdrops]

Due DC2 soon & am stumped for boys names. Neither DH nor I have any names we "love" and it's more of picking which names we "don't mind" as our dislike list is very long! We downloaded the kinder names app & matched on 1 name (DH says he isn't 100% on the name either-Max!)

We have lots of girls names but boys is another story.

Our list currently
Ethan (DH's suggestion)
Max
Flynn
I love the sound of the name Odin but don't think I can realistically use it!
I like Everett but DH is not at all keen

We both like Max but DH thinks it feels too short although we aren't so keen on Maximus/Maximilian/Maxwell etc. Would really appreciate any opinions on the few names above to hopefully help us along the way as we're at a standstill!

I really like Ethan

you could also use Maxton or Maxim as longer versions of Max x

Like Max. I wouldn't feel the need to use a lengthened name on bc.
I don't like the others sorry.

Nathan
Otis
Matthew (Matt as a shortened version similar to Max?)
Maddox shortened to Max?
Axel
Alexander

Oh sorry, didn't read your OP properly!
I really like Max as a stand-alone name.
Also love Flynn - it's a great name.

Ethan (DH's suggestion) - I know loads of Ethans. Not keen. Nothing wrong with it though.
Max - really like it.
Flynn - not keen
I love the sound of the name Odin but don't think I can realistically use it! - yes!
I like Everett but DH is not at all keen - no, just don't.

I love Ethan.
I have a Grayson.
You might like -
Easton
Reed
Sawyer
Sebastian
Nathan
August
Leo

Ethan and Flynn are both on our boys list! our other names are
Oliver
Reuben
Liam
Alexander
Harry
Blake
Cameron

Max is my preferred choice on your list
Not keen on Ethan (prefer Nathan with nn Nate)
Flynn - ok name

Zac/Zachary
Micah
Elliott
Torin

My new nephew is called Odin.

I love it!

I like Ethan a lot.

Max is sooooooooooooo boring.

Really love Max. I think it’s a lovely stand alone name but if you want to make it a nn of a longer version I think maxwell is nice.

Max is boring and overused imo

I like Flynn or how about Quinn?

I like them all! Max on its own works fine. Going by your choices have you considered Elliot or Marcus?

Just based on a couple on your list, Oscar or evan

I like Max, but none of the others. I don't think it's too short either.

Ethan is a bit down-market where I live. Odin sounds borderline comical, as it reminds me of Will Ferrell for some reason...? Does he make a joke about it in a movie? Anyway, that's what I think of.

Everett is too much like Elliot which I don't like either.

I like Ethan. Not keen on Everett though.

I think Seth is a lovely name

I love the name Odin!

1. Max - not too short
2. Flynn
3. Everett
4. Ethan - not keen on this

Thanks everyone! It looks like Max is fairly well liked which is good- I think it's probably my front runner but I don't feel 100% for some reason. I love Odin but was worried it was a bit like calling them Thor.

I'm hoping that if it's a boy, he "looks" like a name to help me along otherwise there's a real fear he'll be nameless until the naming deadline.

Thor is a name too I believe. And yes, Odin does have a similar vibe.

Otis is a lovely alternative, less deity-like suggestion.

It's in Anchorman! "Oh great Odin's Raven"! Not that this would sway me either way.

Odin is lovely and much more memorable than Max (there are so many Maxes).

I took my GS to an activity every week when he was preschool. There was an Odin and a Thor. Nothing wrong with the names but they did get eye rolls, it always felt like it was all a bit of a performance with mothers being very libaterian and apparently neither ever had "no" said to them and it did show so I suppose that has put me off a bit.

On a more positive note I think Max and Ethan are both lovely names.

Maxim is lovely as well.

I can't see what would be 'eye roll worthy' about either name? I wonder where you live?
