Help me find a boy’s name I love, rather than just like!

[Isthisoveryet]

Recently found out we’re having a DS. Over the moon but also feel completely stuck on names. I find boy’s names either too out there or completely boring. I can’t imagine finding a name that I actually love. DH tends to join baby name discussions once I’ve got a solid shortlist so doesn’t give much guidance!

These are names that I really like -

Remi
Luka
Otto
Jude
Laurie
Rudy
George
Elliot

So quite keen on short names...any other suggestions or thoughts?

Otto is lovely, was at the top of our list for a boy. We also liked Felix, Jasper, Rufus, Bodhi and Seth :)

Ezra
Rhett
Miles
Asher
Tobias
Beau
Nico
Nate
Sonny
Hudson
Joel
Caleb

Gabriel
Leon
Austin

Love PP's suggestions of Asher and Seth!

Evan
Elias
Luke
Adam
Rory
Zac(hary)

Love these from your list (practically all of them):
Luka
Otto
Jude
Laurie
Rudy
George
Elliot

Here are other suggestions with 2 syllables or less:

Marley
Kit
Wilf(red)

Seth
Cole
Otis

Sebastian
Dominic

Love your list. My nephew is Remi, he is the most adorable toddler you'll ever meet. Never ever seen him not smiling, so that's the winner for me!

Some cracking names on this thread!

Bram
Saxon
August
Fenton

Laurie is gorgeous and very underused

Oops..I love Joel the most clearly as I put it twice

Oscar

Emmet
Joseph
Rufus

I really like Laurie.

Love your list. Remi is great!

I also love Laurie - biased as I have one (just Laurie, not Laurence). We get a lot of compliments on his name and have never met another.
