Boys name help..

[Jj2431]

So boys names are an eternal struggle.

So far we like

Ezra
Caleb
Isaac

He likes
Anthony & Connor and potentially Nathan too.

Do you like any of these or can you suggest any we might like based on these? Thanks

I like Ezra and Connor

Ezra is a great name

I like Ezra and Isaac. Not keen in the others

You have a great list of names!!!

Absolutely LOVE Ezra, Caleb and Isaac

Anthony & Connor and Nathan are all great too and I love the nickname Nate. Least favourite of your choices is Anthony. Favourites are Ezra Caleb Isaac Connor and Nathan

If you’re looking for more suggestions here are some but I think you’ve got such a lovely list you don’t need to look any further:

Other names with good nicknames:

Christopher nn Kit (or just use Kit)
Wilf(red) nn Wilf
Barnaby nn Barns or Barney
Rafferty / Raffy
Sidney nn Sid

Other ideas:

Eli
Ellis
Miles / Milo
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Blake
Dominic
Chester

I like Isaac and Caleb from your lists.

Love all your names especially Ezra!

Don't like your husbands choices I'm afraid but I do really like Nate (not Nathan!)

Not keen on your husband’s names except Nathan, but yours are perfectly fine

A very dear person to me was named Nathan after Nathan Detroit in Guys & Dolls. Ha ha - ( 2nd name not Detroit ) - but would not necessarily use musicals as a way of naming children otherwise.

I like Christopher / Kit for short - but nn s are so hard - they develop I think not just imposed

I much prefer your DH’s names, especially Anthony, which is great. Ezra, Caleb and Isaac are very OT faddy and will date/already have dated.
Christopher -Kit
Jonathan
Benjamin
Matthew
John
Gabriel
Miles
Jude

I don't like any of your husband's choices sorry...They are very dated.
Anthony will become Ant or Tony, neither of which are any better than Anthony. Nathan (Nat or Nate or Nath) the same. Connor I really don't like, unless perhaps you live in Ireland.

I like Ezra and Isaac, Caleb less so.
I prefer Isaac of the three.

What about Zachary, Ethan, Reuben, Tobias, Elijah or Seth?

Or if you prefer more vanilla and traditional, Michael, James, William, Thomas or Edward which are all nice in their own right and classic and the last three shorten nicely too?

I like Benjamin as someone posted upthread too.

It’s weird, isn’t it? I think Ezra, Caleb, etc are dated. They’re a style of name that’s been in fashion for well over 20 years and are tired now. People I know with those names are in their mid 20s. Anthony etc is a refreshing change from all those Old Testament names. New Testament names are becoming more current.

We have an Isaac. I love it!
