Hey everyone,

So me and DP are due our little boy in August and names are a nightmare, we had a girls name picked out from day 1 but never successfully picked any boys names!

The type of names we like are things like:

Rory
Ruben
Ryker
Ryder
Rhodes
Finley (nn Finn)
Flynn
Toby (DP isn't keen)

And that's about it really. Does anyone have any other suggestions we may like if we like the above?

Surname rhymes with Creed if that helps with suggestions.

Thanks guys!

You are exactly me 😂 due August, having a boy, had a girls name picked! Rex is lovely. I liked Roman but my partner didn’t. Ruben is also lovely and I like you could have the nickname Roo! Ralph was also one we considered. Love the R names! The name Finn is taken already in my family but if it wasn’t that would 100% be the name. I don’t think you can get a nicer name! Depends how popular it is near you though

DotDotDotDotDot · 11/04/2021 13:52

I like Rory, Finn and Flynn best from your list. Sorry Ryker and Ryder sound a bit strange to me.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 11/04/2021 14:16

You might like Rufus - quirky, cool and not overused but classical so less trendy feeling than many "R" names.

If you're due August, have you considered August as a name? Classical but quite hipster/trendy now (and could be Augie or Gus as a nn).

Judging by your other choices of names, maybe Brody or Heath might suit too?

We are due July and having a hard time with boys names too! Girls are so much easier for us. Some of my favourite boys but have no idea really...
Eric
Harrison
Hugo
Conrad
Caleb
Rufus
Otis
Otto

Ethan
Euan
Mason
Hudson

@sarah13xx I also liked Roman but partner didn't! It's so hard isn't it hahaha! Yeah I do think Finley may be our top choice at the minute! It's luckily not very popular here at all, I dont know of any actually!

@DotDotDotDotDot I feel the same about them, they were DPs suggestions but don't quite sound like names to me!

@IamnotwhouthinkIam I do actually like the idea of August, I think it is quite cool! Definitely like Heath too actually!

@stellarfox I loooove Hugo, DP has said no though. I do like Otis and Otto actually too!

@KoalaOok quite like Ethan actually!

Sonny
Jude

sarah13xx · 11/04/2021 16:23

Finley/Finn would be my number 1 choice then! It’s so lovely and suits a baby, child and adult easily

Jurassiclover · 11/04/2021 16:25

@Spied Jude has been vetoed by DP. I do like Sonny though, will suggest that!

@sarah13xx yeah thats my thought too! Finley is cute without being too cutesy for a grown man since it can be shortened to Finn as he gets older if he wants!

I’m very jealous, I so desperately want to use it but it’s taken in my family already 😭 wouldnt have to think about it if I could just use Finn! Think we’re going with Harris but waiting to see what he ‘looks like’ when he’s born 🤷🏼‍♀️

TatianaBis · 11/04/2021 17:29

Like Finn, Flynn and Rory. Don’t like the others.

Rocco is awful. Essex gangster.

Jurassiclover · 11/04/2021 17:55

@sarah13xx sometimes I think its best to wait for them to be born when you aren't sure isn't it hahaha!

@tatianabis would never of associated Rocco with that haha, I heard it on an Australian show so to me it's a bit of an exotic name in a way

WaxOnFeckOff · 11/04/2021 20:20

First thought was Austin, it's a version of Augustus so seemed fitting.

Elliot
Lyall
Marcus
Brodie
Miles
Innes
Dexter

TatianaBis · 11/04/2021 20:24

Was it Home and Away? Heath’s son was called Rocco.

@WaxOnFeckOff I like Elliot but DP has a friend with that name so feels a bit odd haha! I do like Miles actually though!

@tatianabis it was indeed haha!

@Ejm02 ooooh really like Reagan, Royce and Radley! I love Tobias but DP says no
