Hi everyone! My husband and I are really struggling to find a name for our baby boy due in March! We just can't agree. We have a 2 year old called Eliza so would love to find a name that goes well with hers. Classic, old fashioned, but not too common! I like Austin, and Tom likes Ulysses (wish I was joking!) Any ideas please? Thanks! Grin

First thought was Jonah

We both love Fraser from that list! Would it work with Eliza though?

Not sure Fraser works with Eliza

How about

Barnaby
Rudi/Rudy
Rex
Eli
Ellis
Clarence
Otto
Otis

Was going to suggest Roman but that’s probably far too popular as you say you’re looking for something less common- it’s top 50 but leaps up year on year so will be top 10/20 soon. Same with Arlo and Jacob I guess although I do love those names

Forgot to include two of my favourites

Miles/ Milo

@AngelaDevon you want a name less common than Conrad? It was number 851 in the most recent U.K. lists 😅 Eliza was at 39 in the girls names rankings, so pretty common. Have you found her name too popular, is that why you're looking for something different?

I found this resource helpful to look through:

AngelaDevon · 14/10/2019 21:42

Sorry I didn't mean Conrad...that is definitely not common, we just didn't like the sound of it. Thank you, will take a look now!
