Please help us compile a list a boy names :)

Here's an example of the kind of names we don't want:
Arlo
Leo
Milo
Felix
Alfie
Archie
Ollie
Asher
Jasper
Theo
Oscar
Teddy etc

The kind of names we do like:
Michael
Leon
Jack
Anthony
Peter...

We want to come up with a big list so that we can narrow it down and hopefully find the one. Open to slightly more unusual names but nothing too frilly or trendy.

Peter is the best boy's name Smile

I also like Robert, Benjamin, Owen and David.

The kind of names you like age wonderfully. A lot of popular boy names atm are hard to imagine on an adult.
How about:

Adam
Luke
Oliver
Henry
David
Daniel
Damien
Rory
Jacob
William
Philip
Alexander
Joseph
James
Louis
Andrew
Christian
Wesley

My gf from uni just had a baby Philip and I think it's a fantastic choice. Good luck!

How about Tom? Strong, classic.

Jamiladodger · 22/04/2020 12:10

So you want more traditional less hipster names? Would you go for something like Mack? I reallly like these:

Thomas, Jack, Giles, George, Sam, Peter, Dean, Derek, Jeremiah, Max, Reid, Julian, Mack, Richard

Assuming that you (or your friends) have time on their hands (or a good memory), why not head up the family tree?

If you live in an old house, spend a few £ on a site and look at a census or two (1911 is the latest).

As a mum of a 'Phoebe' I would urge you to get a name that most can spell.
