We are expecting our first child and cannot decide on a boys name. We both really like Lloyd as this name has previously been used in both of our families, but Im worried that Lloyd will sound to grown-up ?

My partner is british and im german, which limits our name choices dramatically as we want the name to sound good in both languages!

so far we have;

Lloyd Alexander E.
Lewis Alexander E.
Charlie Alexander E.
Flynn Alexander E.

However, Im VERY open to suggestions!! Thanks :)

Not Charlie, it’s so overused and a bit too cuddly and try hard cheeky chappy because it’s a nickname.

Lewis or Lloyd.

Thank you! My husband likes Charlie but I think its too common!

Flynn is really nice

I have a Lewis so would that gets my vote he's Lewis James

Mercedes1988 · 04/11/2019 12:33

Aw thank you all for your replies! We also really like Ellis but one of my best friends little boy is already called Ellis which rules this name out for us.

I do like Lloyd a lot , just unsure if it's a bit too unusual ?!

I know a few Lloyds of different ages and think it is nice.
Another name you could consider is Vaughan,
I also know a Clyde.

I'd choose Lloyd!

Charlie is overused/common and Lewis doesn't sound great in German.

Other names that work in German and English
Dominic
Quentin
Marcus

Lewis or Lloyd.

I like Lloyd best. Charlie is sweet but very popular. I do like Flynn too actually. Personally I don't like Lewis.

Evilmorty · 04/11/2019 14:21

Oh I love Vaughn.

diddlediddle · 04/11/2019 14:47

Lewis Alexander is a great name. Very dignified. Flynn would be my second choice.

Lewis, definitely.
