Please help me narrow down these boys names!

[Ginnyup]

I’m terribly indecisive at the best of times but baby boy names is blowing my mind 🙈
The below is the list we have so far. Our surname is a nice/ordinary two syllable name. We want something not toopopular but not completely out there with the option for a nickname.
Grateful for those below which you like(if any!!); I know there will be plenty of awful relatives or dogs with these names but I won’t meet them so please do be kind!!

Gabriel
Tobias (Toby)
Felix
Silus
Dexter
Phineas (Finn)
Rollo
James
Magnus (Gus/Max)
Emmett
Emil
Franklin (Frankie)

Ace (middle name)

Thank you!!

I have a Reuben, I love the name. I also have an Eben. I had Rufus, Otto, Jago, Auryn and Jespar on my list. I love boys names that can double as hogs names!

Whoops dogs!

Gabriel, Felix and Rafferty are the best in my humble opinion!

Love
Gabriel
Ezra
Luca
James
Otis
Otto

Have you thought of starting name standing thread. You ask posters to copy your list taking their least favorite away and last name left over wins

Also like Zander

My cousin had a baby boy yesterday
She called him Alfie very cute

I like...
Emmett
Rafe
Remy
Emil

Also like Reuben but it’s more common that a lot of the others on your list.

I know a very cool teenage Raphael (Raf).
Also love Reuben but be prepared for Rueben as a common misspelling.
Rafferty is great too.
Sebastian (Seb)
James
Max

Jude, Sebastian, Reuben and Rafe are nice.

I like Luca the best

Otis
Colton (Colt)
Emerson (Sonny)
Jude
Luca

You have a lot of nice names there. I am still in the same dilemma though with a boys name so I’m in no position to pick one 🤣 I think ours might end up being Kit. What about Freddie, Vinnie or Ari?

Top 5 for me would be:

Jude
Gabriel
James
Emmett
Luca

Love Rafferty and Sebastian the most

Love Otto & Reuben .

Gosh, there's an interesting mix of names there - a wide variety of styles. My favourites are James (nn Jem or Jamie?), Lev, Xander (spelt this way, Zander is too fish), Magnus and Max.

Guilty pleasures are the wonderful Rollo, Aurelio (could be Ray as well as Leo?), Phineas, Casimir, Cosimo and Lysander but I don't think I'd be brave enough myself to use as first names.

Some aren't to my taste, but the only ones I really dislike are Nero (the mad Emperor) and Colton (too gun linked) and Chase (too pet for me). Also not that keen on Phoenix (a bit hippy/celeb) and Otto (comedic German stereotype to me) but this doesn't really matter for middles.

Sorry to throw more names in the mix but have you considered similar Zev (Hebrew name meaning wolf) if you like Lev and Zander? Also maybe consider biblical Asa as a full name for the nn Ace?

My favourite ones are :
Asher
Raphael
Luca
Franklin
Zander/Xander

Felix is a cat and also an obnoxiously behaved boy. Stanley is a great name, I know one who is awesome.

Magnus is great. I like Emmett but not if you live near Cornwall. Those two are my favourites.

I don't think I've ever seen such a mad list of different styles of names

I only like about three of them.

Felix and Otis are nice.

Eden is not on your list but you may like?

I love Gabriel, Tobias, Jude, Reuben and Asher.
