Boys names

[CEL5417]

OH and I are pulling our hair out over boys names. We don't want anything in the top 20, but are open to a wide range of suggestions. Our shortlist consists of

Ezra
Flynn
Austin
Arlo
Max
Jude

But nothing striking us as the "one" yet. Which boys names are on your list? Can you suggest any we might like? Middle name will be James.

Thank you

My ds2 is Wilfred.. He's in his 20s now. The year he was born there were only 14. Its about 120 in the name popularity list now. He's named after Wilfred Owen and is very proud of the fact.
The other name we were thinking of was Thaddeus. Quite glad we didn't now because when I hear the name I think of Celia Imrie with pink hair in Nanny Mcphee... 😁 😁

Finley/Finn
Seth
Milo
Cody
Casey
Kane
Kurt
Rex

There’s another thread where someone is asking for similar names to Arlo.

Carlton
Samson
Corin
Alban

You’ve got a great list @CEL5417 I love all your choices

Yes there’s a similar Arlo thread also going at the moment, I’ll copy and paste my suggestions from that thread:

Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red) nn Wilf
Barnaby nn Barns or Barney
Nathan/Nathaniel nn Nate
Rafferty nn Raffy
Sidney nn Sid
Eli
Ellis
Miles / Milo (too similar?)
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Idris
Chester
Caleb

Silas James
Ronny James
Rufus James
Luca James
Cosmo James
Nico James

I'd avoid Arlo if you don't want top 20, that's risen hugely over the past couple of years.

My shortlist was

Spencer
Guy
Joel
Atlas (DP would never have allowed this!)
Douglas
Hector

Clive
Dennis
Raymond
Alan
Jeremy
Paul
Andrew
Brian
Roger
Nigel.

Your list is mainly trendy names that will date quickly. I like Max.
I know 2 Austins. One lovely and the other not so nice.

I suggested quite retro names just to broaden the list, but I particularly like Dennis and Raymond. Patrick is another one I like.

One of my DC is Jude, great name!

I like all of your list, Ezra was on ours but it was a bit of a wild card! Arlo is very popular now.

Jude is cool, it’s my DS’s name but Jude James doesn’t fit well at all.

I like Ezra.

Evan James

I've always liked Austen better than Austin.

Hudson James
Devin James

Robert
Richard
Patrick
Peter
Philip
Augustus
Cornelius
Marcus/ Mark
Matthew
Joseph
Jeremiah
Adam
Adrian
Alexander
Nicholas
Benjamin

Oakley or Gilbert
