Hello

Struggling with boys name. Have a girl name ready. What do you think about my list.

Finn
Ramsay
Reuben
Nathan
Alexander
Matthew
Vinnie (Vincent)
Spencer
Finlay

Its quite a random list. Our other DC is Elliot. Doesn't need to match but just for other suggestions.

Alexander is the only one I like.
Vinnie is the worst name, sounds like a gangster.
A pp suggested Nathaniel which I also prefer to Nathan for some reason.
Finn/Finlay and Reuben are too popular.

NeepNeepNeep · 08/07/2021 23:08

Some more, I think, along lines of Matthew:

Joseph
Daniel
Peter
James
Thomas
Jude
Henry
Christopher

These are similar to Spencer/Ramsay:

Jenson/ Jensen
Jameson
Fletcher

Similar to Reuben/Finlay:

Ezra
Silas
Alexis

Alexander is just perfect Smile

WaitinginVain · 08/07/2021 23:09

I like Ramsay and Finley the best.

NeepNeepNeep · 08/07/2021 23:10

Similar? In my head those are names I group together somehow.

BackforGood · 08/07/2021 23:22
  1. Alexander
  2. Matthew
  3. Nathan

down to Ramsay, which is the worst.

A really lovely list of names.
I love Alexander Nathan Spencer Matthew and Finn.
Lease favourite is Reuben
I find Reuben really overused dull and trendy. Not as classic a feel as some of your others due to boom in popularity

Finn - LOVE this one, if it wasn’t taken in my family already it would be our boy’s name
Ramsay - very unusual, nice but don’t know if I’d choose it
Reuben - this ones really grown on me since being pregnant. Would probably be my second choice (if my partner liked it 🙄)
Nathan - know way too many of them compared to your other names
Alexander - not keen
Matthew - not keen
Vinnie (Vincent) - this was on our list too but again my partner wasn’t keen. Really like it
Spencer - not keen
Finlay - yes but if you were using Finn I’d maybe put that on the birth certificate so you have the choice of both.

Finn or Reuben would be my choice 😊

Ramsey - Depends if you like the chef I guess!

Finn on the other hand, I really like that name!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 09/07/2021 13:56

Finn. Its okay
Ramsay. Id assume you were a huge Gordon Ramsay.

Reuben. This is one of those names that I used to despise. I love it now though.
Nathan. classic and timeless
Alexander. See Nathan
Matthew. I like it and I don't like it, IYSWIM. Its one of those names it depends who has the name.

Vincent I love this..

Spencer ...Awful
Finley. Love this. I picture a little boy who's always laughing and full of fun.

LewishamMum · 09/07/2021 14:21

Big no to Ramsey - I think of Ramsey Bolton from Game of Thrones.
The only ones I like are Alex and Matthew.

messybun101 · 09/07/2021 14:27

Findlay/Finlay is my little brothers name
He gets 'Fin' for short and 'Finners' for sister/brother fun

Threelittlebirds1 · 09/07/2021 20:07

Finn - love
Ramsay - terrible
Reuben - dislike
Nathan - dislike
Alexander - love
Matthew - really like
Vinnie (Vincent) - like Vincent but dislike Vinnie
