Boy name help

[Katefoster]

Not due for a few more months but we have a girls name sorted (Olive) but we're so stuck for boys! Can anyone give me some for suggestions please. This is my list so far. None seem quite right and my husband dosent really like any of them apart from Hector which I'm not sure about

Rufus
Jasper
Barnaby
Ralph
Rex
Gus
Heston
Wilfred
Hector

Rupert
Caspian
Cassian
Hilton
Angus
Edmund
Edgar
Jude
Fergus
Gregory
Dexter
Wilder
Felix

Jasper just reminds me of Jasper carrot

James is a nice name

Francis and Joseph are much nicer than any on your list. A little Frank would be adorable.

I agree with pp that Olive is actually quite popular now, it’s the new modern Olivia.

But for boys names, I’m not keen on your choices, they all seem very much like in trying not to be popular you’ve chosen the names that come up often in these threads suggesting more popularity than you previously thought.

My suggestions
Joel
Saul
Solomon
Nathan
Arron
Mark
Matthew
Percy
Robert
Herbert
Victor
Quentin
Tobias

Torin
Conrad
Robert

Why not Joseph as first name, though? It's a great name!

The era after Kevin and Jason?

Tobin
Laurence
Dominic
Gabriel

Also traditional names James, William and Fredrick all good.

sacha is the russian diminuitve for alexander

agree that the others seem faddy

What about Theodore, Theo for short? Less faddy than some of those names. And your husband might like the shorter Theo.

Toby
Rowan
Laszlo
Seth

Hudson

Thanks for all your suggestions. I didn't realise I was so drawn to R names. Also didn't realise that the names I liked were really popular. God this is so hard. I really don't like the classic names like William, Peter etc. Some good suggestions here tho thank you. It was much easier naming my cat 😂

Haha maybe just name your son Miffles or Poppington 🐈 then

Lucas/Lucian could shorten to Luke
Jonas/Jonah
Rowan
Coby/Colby
Eric
Jensen
Jacob/Jake

I absolutely adore Olive but none of your boys names jump out at me.

Reuben
Jeremy
Nicholas
Benjamin
Adam
Elias
Sebastian
Caleb
Jonah

Okay, what about:

Avery
Callan
Luca
Patrick
Gareth
Kane
Trey
Asher
Cole
Joel
Parker
Ewan
Fraser
Wade
Kade
Wesley
Reeve
Dominic
Sampson
Julian
Christian
Weston
Bentley
Stefan
Uriah
Colby
Quade
Coen
Quinn
Finn
Flynn
Harley
Arlo
Kurt
Jacques
Lance
Lincoln
Leyton
Warwick
Jai
Nate
Lionel
Regan
Aidan
Emmett
Vance
Jeremy
Tristin
Tobias

Travis!

Of your list, Ralph is definitely my favourite. But I'm not a big fan of more obscure names like Hector etc (also too close to the verb to hector for me).

Weirdly, I know 3 young Hectors so would rule that out. Jasper is a name for a wasp round here so wouldn’t use that.

I like Wilfred the best. Wilf, Will, Fred, Freddy and Wilfred are all great names.

Ashley
Campbell

Wallace
Lewis
