Cannot find a name

[babynameneeded]

DS is called Huxley.

Will be having another boy.

No name I think of 'matches' his name

I'm open to most names (modern/traditional etc)

congratulations!

Boston
Maxwell
Austin
Urias
Alban

Wilric
Alaric
Xavier
Thomas
Philip
Peter

I really think Graham is due a comeback. Such a lovely sounding name and it goes nicely with Huxley.

Ben

Dawson
Lennox
Hendrix
Jensen
Aiden
Milton
Alwyn
Beckett
Joel
Marshall
Darryl
Beau
Idris

Thanks for the suggestions!

I do like Benedict so reassuring that Ben has been suggested.

Also keep leaning towards Xavier as mentioned, but worried I'll be seen as the one who has 2 children with peculiar names!

For what it's worth, our surname is very 'boring' and normal so can get away with slightly different first names

Don’t worry about what others think!
If you like Xavier go for it! Xavi is cute as a nn.

Xavier and Huxley go really well together!
And neither are peculiar. Uncommon maybe, but not peculiar.

How about
Spencer
Jude
Isaac
Dexter
Elijah
Nate
Wyatt
Kian

Wilfred & Huxley.

I don’t think Xavier is peculiar! There’s a Xavvy in my son’s class, short for Xavier I assume, and I know one or two others.

Walter.

Walt and Hux.

Huxley is a really lovely name - excellent choice!

I think Dexter goes because of the X in the middle!
Or how about Rudi/Rudy? Love that name too and know a cool little boy with it.

Here are some other suggestions:

Marley
Christopher or just Kit
Wilf(red)
Barnaby nn Barns or Barney
Nathan/Nathaniel - Nate
Rafferty / Raffy
Sidney nn Sid
Laurence nn Laurie
Vincent nn Vinnie
Eli
Ellis
Miles / Milo
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Idris
Percy
Chester
Caleb
Austin
Griff
Tristan
River
Bodhi
Otto

Winston

Brave New World and 1984.

Harrison
Ollie
Asa
Lincoln

Dexter
Baxter
Felix
Sonny
Carter
Mason
Finley
Lennon
Jenson

Hmm...
Jude ~ Huxley & Jude
Emerson ~ Huxley & Emerson
Porter ~ Huxley & Porter
Caleb ~ Huxley & Caleb
Leander ~ Huxley & Leander
Dashiell ~ Huxley & Dashiell
Declan ~ Huxley & Declan
Oakley ~ Huxley & Oakley
Evan ~ Huxley & Evan

Thanks so much for all the brilliant suggestions.

Some I've thought of previously (Kit, Barnaby, Rafferty, Casper) and I think actually seeing someone else suggest them has made me realise I'm quite keen on these names.

Shot myself in the foot by picking a less common name.

If only it were a girl because obviously we've got 100s of girls names we like!

Alexander, shortened to Xander

Tobias, shortened to Toby

Quentin

How would you pronounce Xavier? That would be my main concern (I would say Have- ee-ay but lots of people say it differently..)

go with your heart.... Hendrix?!

I really like Rafferty. Goes really well with Huxley.

A few other suggestions:
Weston
Bentley
Aubrey
Langley
Asher
Reíd
Sullivan
Ranulph
Emmett

Dashiell.

Huxley and Dashiell.
