Hey we are looking for a name to go with our first sons name as we are expecting our second son soon!!

Our first sons name is

Benneit Burns

(Pronounced Bennett and is an old Scottish name meaning blessed).

We have two names just now that we are considering which are

Charlie and Beau

But we aren’t convinced so all suggestions welcome thank you

I like Rowan, Robin, Seth, Joss, Anthony.

I don't like Charlie at all. It reminds me of Prince Charles....

Beau is a bit too popular for my taste.

Beau and Benneit Burns is too many Bs for me. Charlie is better but I'm not loving it.

Do you want something else Scottish? That might be a nice trend to continue.

Rory, Jasper, Edwin?

I love Gareth. Or Liam.

I like Charlie but not Beau. Beau seems to be in a completely different style to Benneit!

Are there any other traditional Scottish names you like that would go with Benneit?

I like Arran (spelt like the island); also Robin, both of which might go.

Yeah keeping it Scottish would be great but not absolutely necessary

Thanks guys, I really like some of the suggestions especially Rhett and Jasper.

Not sure if Jasper Burns works though what’s your thoughts?

Charlie is sweet, bit not sure about it for a grown man. Not keen on Beau, seems quite trendy and hard to live up to.

Fraser?
Aidan?
Euan?
Angus?

Buttercup54321 · 20/08/2021 01:23

Reuben or Rupert?

I don’t think the 2 names you are thinking of are remotely similar in feel to your first son’s name. Beau in particular … it’s very East London hipster but fast becoming incredibly mainstream. You’ve had some good suggestions.
