Looking for a boy's name we love

Trying to find a boy's name we love for our first baby due in August.

Current list is Reuben, Stanley, Henry, Miles, and Jude. We like these but none feel like 'the one' so keen for more suggestions! I love Caspar but DP not crazy about it.

Our top girls' names are Nina, Naomi and Sylvie. Thanks!

Some of your names were similar to what me and DH liked but we ended up going with Lewis. The baby just looked like a Lewis when he was born.

I love the girl’s names you were considering.

Casper is lovely so is Miles
How about Chester, Axel, Laurence, Tristan, Jasper, Caleb

Looove Henry. We’re having a girl but if it was a boy it would have been Henry.

Our shortlist also included;

Elijah

Nice names - I’d be inclined to discount Reuben and Henry on overuse grounds.

We have a Caspar. We also have a Leo and other boys names we liked were Max, Felix, Luca and Raphael.

sarah13xx · 27/05/2021 19:05

Also due in August and had this dilemma! I really like Reuben. At first I wasn’t in love with it but it has really grown on me while being pregnant, I think it’s going to end up more popular. Ruaridh is also lovely! I liked Miles/Milo and Jude too. We also liked Freddie but just wasn’t quite falling in love with it. Kit was our other one

sarah13xx · 27/05/2021 19:06

Jasper?

Love these. Milo a bit overused now maybe.

Love the list, I loved Reuben and Miles for DS2 due in October; we have decided on Robin in the end
