I like the names:-

Drew (but not Andrew and DH not keen)
Griff (but not Welsh so might seem slightly odd)
Finlay / Finn
Robin
Ellis
Quite like Lenny
Quite like Leo but over popular
Danny (but DH not keen)
DH likes Roddy (I’m less keen)

I’m not sure generally if names ending in Y or IE really work as surname ends in IE

Any other similar names that might work. My favourite above is Drew but as I said DH not keen. I like rest but don’t love them love them if that makes sense.

Instead of Roddy how about Rudi/Rudy? There’s one local to me and it suits him so well

Ones with good nicknames:

Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red) nn Wilf
Barnaby nn Barns /Barney
Nathan/Nathaniel nn Nate
Rafferty / Raffy
Sidney nn Sid
Laurence nn Laurie

Other ideas:

Marley
Eli (prefer Ellis but love Eli)

Out if the suggestions I do like Jude, Laurie and Kit (although is Kit not getting really popular?).

Ellis getting a lot of love!

I also do like Finlay but I’m not sure it sounds that great with our surname. We ideally need something that doesn’t end in Y

Yes OPKit is getting more popular but it’s still very unusual at no 193 in the charts. It’s got quite a way to go before it reaches top 100
I love Finlay, Jude, Kit, Ellis and Laurie by the way

bridgetreilly · 03/04/2020 21:06

Griffin nn Griff would be fab.

Ikeameatballs · 03/04/2020 22:50

I really like your list.

Other ideas

Seth
Wilbur
Orson
Ezra
Rafe
Lloyd

FluffyEggsontoast · 03/04/2020 22:53

I love the name Ellis
Kit, Jude and Laurie are also really great choices

Scotstar · 03/04/2020 23:39

If I were you I'd persuade him on Drew!

Only thing is be prepared for people to assume he is Andrew.
I have an Andrew and the amount if folk that assume they can call him Andy.....nope!
If and only if he decides it for himself will I let that happen lol.

How about Gus? Or Guy?

IDontLikeMondays88 · 05/04/2020 10:59

Gus is nice, thank you for the suggestion!
