Two mums cannot name their son. Please help!

[Scarlett555]

Surname and middle name are both one syllable so we want at least a two syllable name (middle name will be John).

Names I love that have been vetoed:

Raphael / Rafael nn Rafi (my absolute favorite but DW thinks it’s pretentious)

Jago (too ‘nicknamey’)

Rohan (Too ‘wet’)

Milo (Nestle milk)

Oscar (she had a fish called Oscar)

Tobias nn Toby (just doesn’t like it)

Names she likes that I don’t:

Rhodri
Ezra
Jonah
Sebastian

We can’t use a name beginning with El as it would be too matchy matchy with our DD which is a shame as we both like Elijah, Elliot and Ellis

Other names we both like but can’t use as they already belong to close friends or cousins are Arlo, Issac, Theo and Reuben

There is one name neither of us dislike (Jacob) but neither of us love it either. Please wise Mumsnetters there must be a name we haven't thought of yet??!

Campbell
Freddie
Liam
Quinn
Cash
Charlie
Zac
Lennon

Marley
Lewis

Ah love Elliot - excellent choice

Matthias
Gabriel
Nathan
Felix
Caleb
Aaron
Warwick

Micah is really lovely but makes me think of the cheesy singer.

I haven't heard it pronounced My-cah before and much prefer it that way. Adding to our shortlist.

I love the names on your list and only Sebastian on your DW list! I also like Rocco and Miko. By this stage I'm likely just repeating suggestions but here goes anyway:

Rufus
Hugo
Christopher with nn Kip or Kit
Kiefer
Magnus
Hamish
Cosmo
Nicholas/Nico
Jasper
Alec
Matteo (nn Teo)
Bastian
Caspar
Wilkin
Ivo

Rufus
Wilfred
Walter
Wesley
Cassius

Felix
Hunter

John. Richard. Edward. Edgar. Norman.
Get ahead of the trend.

Maximus?

Malachy
Nathaniel
Jared
Ekeziel

Lots of lovely names here, my list would be:

Sebastian
Dominic
Lucas
Josiah
Asher
Gabriel
William
Rufus
Daniel
Richard
James

I love the name Jude. I just think it's so simple. Or Hugh. Also love Henry, Charlie, Ben, Oliver (v popular though) Jack

You might like Reuben ? Sebastian ?

Oooh Dominic is a good one

Jonas?

Alexander
Luke or Lucas
Jonathan
Philip
Christopher

Elijah
Eben
Oren
Knox
Roan

Amos
Ambrose
Otto

Felix
Jared
Jonah

Zebulon
Toby
Edgar

Is he here yet? If so we must have a pic before we can possibly comment on names 😂

My friend is pregnant and her and her DH used an app called ‘kinder’ where it suggests names and you swipe so any that you don’t agree on are automatically vetoed... might help you pick?

Kester or Christopher nn Kit

Ferdinand

Your R names almost meet in the middle. Have you considered Rupert, Ranald.

I also think Arlo is a bit fashiony and insubstantial. How about:

Osian
Otis
Malachi
Rory

Dominic is a great one! However... the last boyfriend I had before coming out as gay was Dominic. Even though we split up years ago and he's married with kids now we're still in the same friendship group. It would just be too weird. Shame.
