Impossible surname

[Seaview6]

Our surname is Coe.
We’re having a boy in a few weeks and I can’t find a single name I like at all. Everything sounds like a company name!

Nothing with an O sound seems to work. Nor does anything ending in a C or K. Most boys’ names are one syllable and sound ridiculous.

I can see why Sebastian Coe’s mum went for that! It actually sounds alright. It would be on my list if it weren’t for him being well known.

Please help!

DH likes Edward and Isaac but I don’t love either and don’t think Isaac works at all.

I like Theo, Luke and Gabriel but DH doesn’t like them or they don’t work.

Edwin?

I really like the surname

Matthew Coe
Henry Coe
Francis Coe

Edwin?

Edwin Coe is a firm of solicitors!

How about Edmund maybe?

Luke Coe is too much 'ck' going on. Please don't use a have with a ck sound at the end like Isaac, Felix or Jack. Even anything with a 'ck' in the middle, like Marcus. Theo Coe is way too rhymey - so big nos from me on those.

Gabriel Coe is nice out some of those longer names like AAlexander (though I don't like Alex Coe) . How about Elijah, Benjamin, Reuben?

What about Jamie Coe? Goes really well I think.
Adam would be my favourite though.

Hudson Coe
Levi Coe
Wyatt Coe
Xander Coe
Hayden Coe
Martin Coe
Lincoln Coe

Sebco is a skin ointment for treating psoriasis 🤣

I hope you find a name you love.

David
Thomas

I know a Joe Coe!
Longer does seem better. Like some of the above suggestions

Long first name is the way to go with a very short surname.

George Coe
Benjamin Coe
Finlay Coe
Barnaby Coe
Rowan Coe
Christopher Coe
Maxwell Coe
Samuel Coe
Laurence Coe
Jonathan Coe
Matthew Coe
Stanley Coe
Thomas Coe
Adam Coe
Theodore Coe
Harrison Coe
Jacob Coe
Reuben Coe

Here's Benco - bring it back from France.

Of your faves, OP, James is good. I even like Jimmy Coe.

I still like Lawrence and then went from Lawrence > Larry > Gerry > argh, it's difficult.

Elijah
Jonathan
Matthew
Daniel
Ethan
Marcus
Alisdair

Rafferty Coe is fab!

@KirstenBlest

Glenn Coe

Bravo!

Elliot, Jonathan, Oliver - I think 3 syllables sounds best myself.

My children went to school with a family with same sound surname; the boys names were Maximilian (Max) and Archie.

Jasper
Alexander
Maximilian
Rufus

You don't want anything that sounds like a business name.

I think Theodore Coe sounds lovely.

Oliver Coe
Thomas Coe
Jeremy Coe

Edward jumped to my mind straight away. Eddie Coe, lovely name

My literary crush is Cormoran (as in Strike) and I consequently wondered if alliterative names might be the way to go?

Christopher Coe
Callum Coe
Caspian Coe
Cillian Coe
Christian Coe
Cassius Coe
Charles Coe
Caspar Coe
Cormac Coe
Cameron Coe

Nathaniel?

Sebastian!
