Hi everyone,

I've just found out I'm having another boy - and very happy and excited DS1 is going to have a brother to play with. The only issue I have is we had a looooong list of girls names we love - but nothing for another boy. Our son is called Toby - our only boy name we absolutely love.

Other names I'm thinking about:
Otto
Rory
Theo
Freddie

Any other names we should be thinking about? Any suggestions very welcome!

Congratulations! I like all the names on your list. I have a Theo and Toby was also on my list!

What about Leo or Milo?

kiwiblue · 02/12/2020 11:18

Max? Too popular at the moment perhaps?

I love the name Theo! I always worry I'll struggle with boys names again if I have another DS 😂

I think Otto is really cool too 😀

Rory is lovely with Toby.

How about Adam?

leafcar · 02/12/2020 11:21

Suggestions I liked when I had DS:

Jenson
Harrison
Lawson (can you see the theme 😂)
Chester

Ooh we have similar taste OP, I love Toby. Rory is one of my favourite names, but perhaps a bit samey with Toby?

The only name on your list I'd avoid is Theo, I swear every other baby boy is a Theo/Teddy.

kiwiblue · 02/12/2020 11:31

According to the ONS statistics Freddie is more popular than Theo.

PolarnOPirate · 02/12/2020 11:32

We have similar taste, friendly names. Boys names are so hard! Most of my suggestions have been said.... Milo, Leo, Oscar, Max.... Joel... Laurie??

MissDoLots · 02/12/2020 11:33

Toby and Evan.

The others are a bit too popular for me.

Whatsyourflava · 02/12/2020 11:50

Toby is a lovely name. How about:

Tristan
Laurence
Otis
Spencer
Ellis
Seth
Caleb
Miles
Austin
Blake
Eli
