Boys name help please

[idontknow54789]

Me and my partner can't agree on a boys name - or rather he doesn't seem to like any of the ones I love. This is our second DS, first is called Wren.

My favourite is Rafferty (Rafe/Rae)
DP's favourite is Perrin (Perri)
We both like but don't love:
Rufus
Rowan
Arthur (Artie)

Any suggestions welcome please!

We're going with Digby for a boy if that helps

Acer?
Sylver?
Hudson?

Boone?

Ooo I quite like Acer - I'll add that to the long list

Quentin
Raphael

Acer is a brand of computers!

Rafferty is nice and as you've said there are options for nicknames. Not a fan of Perrin personally.

Here are some of my favourite boy names. It seems like you like slightly more unusual names so I've removed the more common ones from my list:

Marley
Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red)
Barnaby
Peter
Nathan/Nathaniel - Nate
Sidney
Laurence nn Laurie
Vincent nn Vinnie
Curtis
Eli
Ellis
Miles / Milo
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Idris
Percy
Chester
Caleb
Austin
Griff
Tristan
River
Bodhi
Otto
Oakley
Cooper

Wren is a lovely name for your first son, I especially love Wren for a boy.

Rafferty (Rafe/Rae) It's ok but there's a lot of R names about and that makes it a bit less special to my ears. (See below)
Perrin (Perri) never heard this name before will give it some thought

Rufus - feels a little dog-like but it's ok but another R name.
Rowan - I think this name is too common/popular for your tastes. I prefer it as a girls name but it would annoy me it's so similar to the number 1 fastest rising boy name RoMan (with an M) and I don't like nickname Row. 2 Romans in my NCT group of 8 babies.
Arthur (Artie) I really adore this name and I think it's more timeless than say Rowan, as Arthur has been in and out of the top 100 throughout history (unlike Rowan which has never been in the top 100 til recently, same with Roman). I love Arthur but feel it's probably too common for you tastes ? It's getting extremely popular- would that bother you? If it wouldn't then I'd use it as I adore it.

Acer is a tree too! I taught a lovely Acer a few years ago. Never connected it to the computers!!

Oakley
Ezekiel nn Zeke
Archer
Chase
Wilf

I quite like Perrin

I will suggest the very similar Pippin nn Pip or Peregrine nn Pip could be a quirky theme with Wren

I will also put forward

Oswald
Camelot
Jarvis
Cormac
Crispin
Roiben
Jobe
Drake

I know a Moss, which I think is cool. Also an August, Griffin, River (girl, but I love for a boy and Iver. Or there’s Asa, if you like Acer but not the laptop connection.

Peregrine or Hawthorn?

or Robin?

Kirrin?

Roux? X

I believe the name Oikawa is a perfect name for a son, it is a beautiful and unique name

Percy, Reid or Ren maybe?

I personally love Rafferty, it's one of my favourite names!

Asa is better than Acer. Definitely think laptops with Acer.

Wren is lovely.
Nature inspired boy names..
Bear
Woody
River

Abit of a mix...
Theo
Ernie
Axel
Albie

Asa is a well known girls name in Sweden. To me it looks very feminine. I much prefer Acer for a boy.

Perrin is nice, but the ‘I’ ending of Perri is feminine to my eyes. Would go with the Perry spelling.
