I'm really struggling with boy names. I'm seeking opinions on the names on my list and also suggestions.

Seth
Eli
River - I prefer it for a girl.
Silas

Names I like but can't / wouldn't use:
Hayes
Rio
Nash
Stiles

I'm not sold on any of these. For a girl, I am leaning towards Hazel. Nothing too popular please. Smile

From your list I like Eli the best. I know of one, 7 years old.

I like Eli but as a nn for Elias.
Others with a similar vibe:
Jude
Jonah
Sullivan
Sonny
Rocco
Hudson
Rafe
Ezra
Zeke

@Fivemoreminutes1 I don't mind Elias or Elijah but I do prefer just Eli. Sunny was on my girl list! I also really like Ezra. Thank you for your suggestions. Smile

Levi for a boy and Ezrie for a girl.

I'm in the same situation as you! struggling for a boys name but leaning towards Hazel for a girl. We are actually thinking about Euan at the moment.

festivebug · 27/11/2020 15:05

@IckleBear Levi is another name we like but can't really use. Sad

@Trousersareoverrated It's a struggle isn't it! I had a decent list of names but now most of them are unusable, just don't feel right or DH doesn't like them.

I like Seth but my dh didn’t.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 27/11/2020 21:25

I like Seth. You might also like Heath? (same ending as Seth but a nice nature name like River).
Or if you like the sound of Silas, then I personally like the similar sounding Elias (nn Eli) better too.
Or if you like Ezra, I prefer the similar sounding but less popular Asa.

TomorrowsPrincess · 27/11/2020 21:41

I have a Cole.
Cole James
He's 10 now and very much suits his name 🙂
It's also not very common.
I've never met another Cole

I like Seth and Eli a lot.

Other options:
Joel, Leo, Jude, Asher, Rex, Ellis, Lance, Gavin, Ross, Noah, Toby.

CeibaTree · 27/11/2020 22:18

Seth was on our boys list along with Felix, Otto, Jasper, Ivor and Bodhi :)

I like Seth. Eli and Silas. I don't like any on your 'can't use' list.
