Boys list. Boring?

[HelloBb]

What do you think of these? Feels a little boring but I do like them...

Louis (pr Loo-ee)
George/Georges
James
Anthony
Phillip/Philip
Paul

I go for more unusual names so I do see these as 'boring' (no offence), BUT I think James and George are both lovely and I'd use them if they weren't so popular - but they're classics so I think they'll always be popular

I tend to like more unusual old names. I just can’t think of many. Hiram is one I forgot on the list. Maybe I can spice it up with an interesting middle name... or use these as middles...

Painfully boring...

OH and Giles/Gilles. Is there no way to edit a post?

Sorry very boring, James is always a good classic name though.

I like them. Names like Paul are very unusual these days in the UK. I think it’s a top ten baby name in Germany though. I love James and Anthony.

Lovely names.

No to Georges. Yes to all the others.

James is a lovely name.
The others are a little 'boring' to me personally.

I like boring. I hate the trend of people trying to be really unique, it makes me cringe.

Just the fact that you're asking if they're boring tells you already kinda think they are.

FWIW I love James and Louis, and theres absolutely nothing wrong with a classic 'boring' name.

But if you already sort of feel like that, dont pick something you might regret. Once the baby is born and named you'll be surprised how people stop having an opinion on names (at least to your face!).

Giles is good too.

3 of those names make up DS1 & 2’s first and middle names. Only one missing is Alexander 🙈

I like to think of them as classics that won’t date 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

I like them all except Paul and Philip.

They are classic and not boring.

Thanks all.. maybe I can use a more uncommon name with it to help with the dullness... any old (think 1800’s-early 1900’s) unusual name suggestions would be awesome.

Like Hiram, Floyd, Giles...
Thx!

@HelloBb I like Lloyd more than Floyd

Albert, Arthur, David, Ian, Stanley, Harold, ooh I love Edward for a little boy, saw a boy of about 2 with that name and it really suited

I think they re save options, if you like them then go for one or two of them.

Ephraim
Wilfred
Martin
Asa
Ezra
Sylvester
Royce

Yes, boring.

I would choose Anthony as I know the least people with that name and it's the least boring.

Fenn

I love Louis, I don’t think that’s boring at all.
James and George maybe a bit boring, the others I’d say are very dated.

George is a gorgeous name.

I really like Louis, James and George. I don't think they're boring. I think they're classic and strong.

I love Paul actually. You never hear that on anyone young these days.

How about Edgar?

I REAlly like unusual names, my son is called otis.. i also like pheonix, river , lake and miller , love sir names as first names, hunter, parker etc...
