Gus!

Gus C—— Not sure. It's fine but Gus would be short for something
Seth C—- No
Rafe C—-No
Max C—-Fine but sounds a bit like Mac Scooper
Ben C—-Not sure. It's fine but Ben would be short for something

Mac turns into Mack Scooper a bit. But other than that all nice!

Seth

But I'm disappointed that the name Rex didn't make it onto your shortlist. Or Otis.

@TheVanguardSix Otis is two syllables? But a great name!

Ben sounds like a smart name.

Love Otis but DP not keen.
Also like Oscar but not with surname, it sounds wrong to me

Rex I really don’t like
Tom and Sam are a bit meh to me (think that’s just associations with people I know)

We also like Bram, Flynn and Tate

I like your list. We like short names too, Guy, Kit & Jesse are on our list. I do like Gus too but doesn't work with our surname.

Others similar are Drew, Giles, Beau, Wilf, Saul, Frank, Hayes... I'll keep thinking. We liked a few but not all go with our surname so trying to narrow down. I get what you mean about Oscar Cooper, Oscar is a great name though.

I think Beau Cooper & Wilf Cooper sound amazing!

Firebird83 · 25/02/2021 18:50

Bram, Max or Seth

How about...

Finn
Judd
Saul
Ray
Jett
Frey
Jem
Ned
Quinn
Ralph
Sol
Zane

Bram is a fabulous name. Quite rare in this country, so I was hesitant to use it for DS
but the reaction to it has been really positive. He has never met another in the UK but there's a few in The Netherlands that we've encountered.

It's strong and cool without being try hard.

Love Rafe and Gus.
Seth would be next on my list.
Ben and Max would be much further down as I find them a bit dull.
