Bugger - I don't like any boys' names

AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings · 13/07/2020 21:10

I realise this sounds ridiculous, but I've realised that I don't actually like very many boys' names - and the ones I do like are either a bit too out there or DH has vetoed.

Can you please help me think of names along the lines of the following...

Zachary
Xander
Xavier
Orion
Leonard
Leonardo
Leo
Ray
Jesse
Galileo (dh actually laughed out loud at this one)
Rafe
Constantine
Artemis
Apollo
Archer
Sirius
Silas
Tobias
William
Arthur
Oscar
Sebastian
Rory
Dexter
Leander

I basically like names of Mythological Greek murderers, x-men, Victorian fops, or ninja turtles.

Please remember the poor child when you choose his 'handle for life' in all of this

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 13/07/2020 21:55

Love your names!

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 13/07/2020 21:56

Well except for Ray 😂

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 13/07/2020 21:57

Reminds me of Everybody Loves Raymond. (Sorry x)

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 13/07/2020 21:58

Or Ray Winstone.

GoGold · 13/07/2020 22:00

I lol'd at your husband's reaction to Galileo... Haha. Good luck finding the name!

MillyMolly123 · 13/07/2020 22:14

@Anordinarymum Genuinely curious what you mean by that. None of the OP’s list seem that outlandish to me. None are particularly common these days, but certainly not on a par with Zebedee or Twinkie-Winkie anything!

I’m interested to understand your take on them. Many of them are very traditional old school names Confused

BumpLoading · 13/07/2020 22:14

I love Orion that was on my list!

Also love Atticus

MillyMolly123 · 13/07/2020 22:14
