Hi,

I have posted before. Asking thoughts on the names rowan, sonny and shay. So i thought it was definetly going to be one of those.
Husband has now gone off these names!! 🙈 even though sonny was his suggestion!.... He now wants something a bit less popular. I dont really mind about popularity just would like to find something we can finally agree on, which is proving impossible. I dont think he actually likes any boys names.

Anyway here are the few he has come up with, that i think are ok.
I love the name Elliot but he point blank refused, doesn't like it at all. ☹

Calvin (not sure about it, i like cal though)

Brandon ( one of our favourite films is the goonies) but again not sure.

Xander ( dont want Alexander as my dad is alex)

Orson (like it but think sounds alot like arson and might get called arse)

Any feedback is helpful thank you very much x

I only like Xander.

I like Orson. Orlando is another unusual boys name.

My favourite from your list is Xander. I also like Brandon. I like Cal but not Calvin which has a heavy religious feel to me. I would use Callum instead. I dislike Orson, Shay and Sonny. Rowan and Elliot are okay.
ideas:
Oscar
Brennan
Otis
Griffin
Euan
Caspar
Xavier
Seamus
Hamish

Eric is my all time favourite boys name. My DH refused as he's a city fan and it has too strong United connotations. I like Cal. Xander is fab too.

Calvin is the best. Not mad keen on the others.
