Boy Name Suggestions?

First baby and we’re thrilled to have found out we’re having a boy 🥰

We like the kind of name you could imagine on a surfer, not overly popular but not too out there and ideally 3 syllables (although we can’t think of any!), wondering if any exist! 😅

We really like these names but not 100% convinced for various reasons.

Sonny - really love it, but can’t help thinking it sounds like a nickname and wonder if it’s too American?

Jesse - like this but same as above

Sebastian (Seb) - too popular now?

If it helps, if it was a girl we would have gone for Marina or Adelaide.

Any thoughts or other suggestions Mumsnetters? Please be kind ☺️

Thanks for all your suggestions ☺️ I really like Marley and Franco and had considered Francis/Frankie before but thought Francis was a bit posh.

I thought Donovan was cool too with Donny as a nickname (also Don is my grandads name) but suggest it to DH and it was an immediate no lol.

MIL has passed on the baby name book she used 32 years ago for DH so we may find a corker in there too.

Jesse is such a gorgeous name. It's a biblical name and it's becoming trendy over here so doesn't sound American to me now.
Marley is lovely but it's starting to become popular for girls, not sure if that bothers you.
Sonny is nice, it's a happy, relaxed kind of name.
Sebastian has a very different feel to the other names.
I would go for Jesse personally. I'm so jealous as my DH wouldn't let me use it.
Also love Zachary and Bodhi, but I think a Bodhi would have to be very cool to pull it off.

Jesse is a lovely name, I know a couple under 10 and they both have that surfer type vibe!
