Hi all,

I’ve just found out I’m having a baby boy, so I’d love some more modern sounding baby names suggestions. The reason I say modern is my family are white British so are very hostile to anything ‘too exotic’ (for want of a better phrase). My hubby’s family is quite large so a lot of names have been taken:

Already gone is zakariya, ali, Harris, kamran, zaid, zayn, zayyan, isa, musa (and about a million others)

So far we like: Deen, Aydin /Aiden and Rayan.

Any other suggestions? We already have girl named Ayah XX

@frazzledasarock Binyamin isn’t permitted though is it? I swear I’ve read no?

I would assume Benjamin as in ‘Netanyahu’ wouldn’t be a top choice.

David/Navid and John (and variations) are supposedly ok (so is Jesus in one site I saw - you can bet both sides of the family would not react well that that one!).

It is permitted, but would you want to call your innocent baby Binyamin currently? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Would any of those work for you?
