I like Noah, Otis, Ralph, Taron, Joshua and there are a few others that we've discussed but I've run out of ideas and we're struggling to agree.

I like all of them but less so Taron. Frankly, I wish I'd insisted on my first choices after carrying and producing the little moppets.

I like Joshua best

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 30/09/2020 20:59

Joshua is my favourite from that list. But then it would be as i have one Grin

CeibaTree · 30/09/2020 21:05

Felix, Otto, Silas, Jasper, Rowan?
From your list I really like Otis :)

Oneandabean · 30/09/2020 21:05

I love taron, although I prefer taran. I’d have taran but clashes with surname

Votesforpedro · 30/09/2020 21:06

Otis is a great name
Noah sounds a bit unimaginative and boring
Don't like the others much

PinkJellycat · 30/09/2020 21:07

I like Joshua best from your list too.

How about Stanley, Levi, Jonathan, Arthur, Forrest?

Bunnybigears · 30/09/2020 21:09

I dont like Noah or Joshua the others are ok. How about Emmanuel, Ezekiel, Abraham, Orwell, Rowan, Byron.

GoldenPlover · 30/09/2020 21:13

I only like Noah and Otis on your list

Rory, Elijah, Grayson, Rudy, Isaac?

Sorry I don't think I worded my OP very well 🙈 In my defense it's been a bit of a day!
I'm after new name ideas rather than opinions on the ones we've already got on the list. I just included them to give an idea of the kinds of names we like. Some of the ones listed we'd rather not use because of close family with the same name, others we feel are a bit too popular at the moment/a bit unimaginative etc. But they are all along the right lines in one way or another.

I like Rudy as suggested by a couple of people. And Rowan could definitely grow on me I think. I do like a nature-inspired name. Actually I love Forrest but it doesn't go with our surname sadly.

I had so many ideas for girl's names but I'm really struggling for a boy! Made more difficult by the fact that I work with children and it's hard to think of a name I like that doesn't remind me of a particular little person (typically it's usually the pain-in-the-neck ones).

Torun?

MikeUniformMike · 01/10/2020 08:41

Noah, Otis, Ralph, Taron, Joshua

No, No, No, Maybe (celebrity-inspired? a bit like Darren), Maybe (a bit boring and I don't like Josh)

I like Caleb, but many don't, and I dislike Raphael. Not keen on Dexter.

All your names are lovely, I particularly like Otis and Rudy. Rowan I prefer on a girl but dislike fairly inevitable nickname Row and find the name way too similar to fastest rising boy name Roman with an M.

What are the girl names you like out of interest OP?

IWantT0BreakFree · 01/10/2020 19:35

@Whatsyourflava great suggestions, thank you! Actually Sidney is one that we also spoke about and Nathaniel I love although I'm not mad keen on shortened versions of it.
For a girl I love Iris, Chloe, Violet, Meredith, Cleo, Olive and lots of others. I could go on all day! But I'm struggling to find that boy's name that just really truly grabs me.

I'm not fond of Noah.The other names are nice though. Would your use Torin instead of Taron? Taron is a bit too close to Aaron for my liking! Torin is lovely - a bit unusual but not too out there.
