Can’t use my only boy name

Due in 5 weeks time. We have seriously struggled with a boys name we both agree on, we finally found one a few weeks ago and I felt really settled on it, I don’t 100% love it but I seriously haven’t come across anything else I wanted to consider.

The name is Archer. A family member has just announced her babies birth and this is her babies name! Typical! But it is what it is, we never told anyone so it’s just a complete coincidence.

So if I liked Archer, what else might I like? Please help!

I like Elijah. Not too common and not too "out there". Goes well with Noah.

I love Asher but the only Asher I know is a woman

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 05/06/2021 22:06

I like Nate or Seth

Parker

Sorry OP, I'm terrible at thinking of boy names too, but I think Asher is just gorgeous from all the suggestions so far 😍

Not on your list but I'm liking Josiah. (Joss) and, don't flame me, Fox.

@Nohomemadecandles don’t! Grin I love Fox but I would not be brave enough to use that! My dh would love to pick a name like Fox or Hero or Warrior Grin but I have to be able to shout it in public and feel confident! I am just not cool enough to pull off shouting out for a little Fox over the park!

Dh doesn’t like Asher, I do. He thinks we may as well go for Archer as it’s so close anyway.

I like Parker and I like Seth too.

Elijah is getting a few mentions, it’s growing on me.

Some of the names suggested I do really like but couldn’t use because of friends / families kids.

Thanks for all the help you lot! My shortlist is growing and I’m actually feeling really excited about meeting the little one and seeing what he suits!

.......he will be a girl now won’t he!! Grin
