Boys Names dilemma!

[MarieNorthway]

I have a week and a half left to register my baby boy but really struggling with a name!
Both our surnames end in y and although I'm not sure if we will use 1 or double barrel, I think a name ending in y might be too much!

The only names I have are Ace or Finn!

I like unusual names but don't want too obscure and 1s you can't pronounce!
Do you like either of my ideas or any other suggestions?! Thanks!

Finn is nice but quite popular. How about Flynn or Quinn?

Think they're both great names.

Caleb, Elliot, Beau, Dax, Jeff, Grey

I like Finn. Ace is brave, but I don’t dislike it.

Kit
Tom
Josh
Flynn
Otto
Ivan

Jeff 😂 *Jett

I have a George and Teddy so won't suggest mine as they're not unusual!
I like Finn, there's one at DS school who is sweet so I see it as a lovely name.
My DD has boys in her class called Arlen and Archer- both a bit more unusual options.

Whatever you do, make sure you give your child your surname, with or without your partner's surname added.

If you want to include both surnames but don't want to double barrel, could the names be combined or blended in some way?

I think surname is the most important choice because that can't be changed (or at least not easily) whereas the first name can easily be changed in the first year.

I like Ace and Finn, I think Finn is quite popular though, so I would pick Ace.

If you want other ideas, what about...
Cole
Ivo
Max
Saul
Tate

PP I also like PP's suggestion of Kit

I like Finn but there are a lot of them springing up if that’s an issue.
I’m not keen on Ace at all.

Other ideas:
Asa
Ira
Felix
Miles
Morgan
Dashiel (nn Dash)

Like:

Finn

Just go for that. Baby will grow into the name. I did not love one of my boys names when we gave it to him but couldn't imagine him being called anything else now.

Also do love:

Jet,

Though.....

I have a Corin🙂

I like Ace and Finn. Think Ace is more interesting and would choose that out of the two.

I really love Finn ❤️

Other options with good nn potential:

Christopher or just Kit
Wilf(red)
Barnaby
Nathan/Nathaniel - Nate
Rafferty / Raffy
Sidney

Or:

Eli
Ellis
Miles / Milo
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Idris
Percy
Chester
Caleb
Bodhi
Otto

I like Blake

i like Finn

Ned.

Ace is funky. Finn is popular. Both are nice but wildly different.

Greyson
Arlo
Hudson
Jax
Quinn
Bodhi
Ralph
Kit
Luca
Xander
Xavier
Cole
Zane
Griffin
Herbie/Herb
Hugo
Albie

I like Finn or Flynn. Ace I just can't take seriously, imagine using it to address a senior manager at work.....

Asa.

I like Finn but it is very common so not sure if that bothers you if you like unusual names? I know loads of baby and toddler Finn/Finleys. Really love Christopher nn Kit!

There are some unusual names that could use Ace as a nickname :

Acelin
Asa
Asher
Aspen

Same with Finn :

Finlay
Finian
Fintan

Or else how about Neil, Aaron, Aiden ?

Give the baby your surname.

Have you decided @MarieNorthway

I prefer Asa to Ace, Finn is a good name too but as others have said there's quite a lot of them around

I like both actually, but would choose Ace

I like Finn.

IMO Ace is too out there, having a step child with an unusual name, he hated it when he started school.
