Really stuck on a boys name

24 replies

DH and I can not agree on a single boys name, there are some we like but we keep disagreeing. We've managed to pick out a girls name without many disagreements but I'm absolutely stuck for a boys name.
These are some of the names I really like:
Abel
Denny
Reid
Miller
Cedar
Ernie
Ivor
Adler
Sidney
Mason

DH likes:
Kitson, Baxter, Jaxon, Lachlan, Callahan, Buzz, Rhett, Conrad, Irwin, Watson, Lockie and Everett.

Our children are called Phoebe, Ezra, Audrey, Silas, Rowan and Freddie.

Which name is your favourite from the list (sorry, I know it's a big list we are really struggling to decide) and which name do you think would best fit with our children. Thank you

Probably Ivor Lachlan or Angus

Fivemoreminutes1 · 15/10/2020 17:18

I like Sidney best and think it would fit well.

Fivemoreminutes1 · 15/10/2020 17:19

Some more to consider:
Clyde
Hamish
Seth
Jonah
Sullivan

@Fivemoreminutes1
Thank you! Seth is really nice actually, I'll add that to my list

The only one I like is Angus. I’m not a fan of surnames as first names though

unmarkedbythat · 15/10/2020 18:03

Abel from your list and Conrad from your DH's, I think.

But if you are adding Seth to your list now then I vote Seth, it's lovely :)

Whatsyourflava · 15/10/2020 18:58

I love Sidney and think it goes perfect with others

LottieDot · 15/10/2020 19:08

I like Reid, Lachlan and Everett

MikeUniformMike · 15/10/2020 19:15

Buzz, Dennis or Lachlan.

scrivette · 15/10/2020 19:23

I like Cedar and Seth, although you would have a bit of a tree theme going on with Cedar.

Your DH could add Jenson to his list.

Standrewsschool · 15/10/2020 19:32

Lachlan and Ivor.

ForthPlace · 15/10/2020 19:48

Sidney

Fanciedachange1 · 15/10/2020 19:50

Abel is such a lovely name

Escourtie · 15/10/2020 19:54

Abel
Reid
Adler
Sidney
Baxter
Jaxon
Lachlan
Rhett
Conrad

From your list Mason and Ivor are ok.

From your husband's: Rhett, Callahan, Lachlan, Conrad and Everett.

In fact I really like both Everett and Conrad.

I think either would fit with your existing children, but purely to avoid matching initials

I'd go for Conrad.

Or Seth! Seth is great.

user1493494961 · 15/10/2020 22:00

Most of them are surnames, the only one I like is Angus. Your other children have really nice names, Seth would fit in well.

Garcellesaidwhaaat · 15/10/2020 22:04

Angus and Everett/Rhett from your list but Everett feels more surnamey and apparently means wild boar herd....

Tillygetsit · 15/10/2020 22:19

I love Conrad. Dh's hunky friend!

DramaAlpaca · 15/10/2020 23:13

I only like Conrad and Angus.

BeMorePacific · 16/10/2020 00:32

I love Lockie. Such a great name x

MercyBodle · 16/10/2020 05:48

I like Lachlan and Angus.
Ivor, Sidney, Kitson and Everett are okay. Not keen on the rest.

TinaTraybake · 17/10/2020 18:26

I'm now thinking that Seth would be a really lovely middle name for a boy and I think it goes well with Leo, would Leo Seth work or is it too short of a name?
