Help! Boys names! If I like...

[Bellasblankexpression]

Yep it’s one of these threads. Why are boys names so hard?!

If we like:
Oscar
Alfie
Archie
Charlie

Any other suggestions? Our surname is Billing so I don’t really want a name with a B In the middle like Albert as it sounds clunky to my ears.

I want a bit of a bigger shortlist ideally as I like those names but don’t LOVE any at the moment.

Sorry but they are so overused. Apart from Oscar. That’s a nice name.
Sebastian has the B but goes with Billing I think!
Miles
Milo
Giles
Luke
I just don’t like those ie ending names for boys. I also love James but cannot stand Jamie.

I know they’re over used but I think I’m going to have to just accept that I like popular names 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thanks for the suggestions! I plan to show DH this thread and then hopefully we will find some others we like

Of your list I only like Charlie.

Another vote for Oscar off your list. I really dislike the nick-name as name thing.

Conrad
Torin

Call him Max and set him up for a career in law

We had alfie and Archie on our list for youngest ds but went with Frankie.
Also had Ronnie and Harvey

I don't like any (different tastes) but you may also like
Teddie
Bertie
Ernie

I actually don’t think these names are overused @Bellasblankexpression

I know more Arlo’s than I know Oscar Charlie or Archie. There’s actually isn’t a single Oscar Charlie or Archie in my sons (small) school. There’s no boys with those names at my other DC nursery either.

They’re lovely names - classics

I couldn’t choose between them

Samuel, Timothy, Elliott?

I like Charlie the most out of your choices x

Thank you for all the feedback! That’s interesting @MissHenty, I think it preferences and popularity really differ by region/area

Freddie
Isaac
Hugo
Wilf
Harry
Rory
Felix
Cameron

Devin Billing
Martin Billing
Wilson Billing

3/4 of your list are diminutives. Will you register with the full name and use the nickname yourselves or will you saddle him with a cutesie version for life?
Other diminutives:
Stevie
Jamie
Bobby: I know you said no Bs but there are so many it sounds ok!
Joshie
Names more like Oscar:
Elliott
Felix
Jonathon
Richard
Rufus

Burt, Ernie, Big Bird (sorry, couldn't resist)

I like all the names on your list, but Charlie would be my favourite.

Other suggestions:

Joshua
Fraser
Jake
Elijah
Ellis
Zachary (Zac)
Louis

How about:

Johnny
Sammy
Ben
Tom
Jimmy
Andy
Freddie
Ned

Thomas
Matthew
Isaac
Oliver
Max
Harry
Jacob (b though)
Alexander
William

But Oscar and Charlie from your list are lovely names too!

Oscar is nice. Dislike Alfie, not keen on Archie.

Henry
James
Louis
Arthur
Elijah
Jack - overused though
Thomas
Peter
Mathew
Rory

Firstly, I don't think names can be "overused" they're just popular names because they're nice surely? What's the obsession with having an unusual name anyway?

Secondly I don't think it's "saddling a child with a cutesy name" at all, I know many adult Charlies of both sexes that never go by Charles or Charlotte so why bother as a formality? How many 'Archibalds' do you know anyway?

Anyways, I really like your list and you might also like
Benji
(I know you said no Bs but Benji Billing is great in my opinion!)

Thank you for all these suggestions! 😁

I like all your names!

Also on our list Freddie, Stanley, Hugo and Arthur (Artie)

Frederick
Ernest
John
Seth
George
Edward
Leon
Samuel
Aaron
Jasper
Lawrence
Eric
Peter
Vincent
Thomas

I have Charlie and Freddie. Both lovely 😁.

I think that it depends where you live to whether a name is popular or not? Where I live these names are not common but I know they are in other parts of the country. At the end of the day if you like the name that's all that matters.
