Cannot agree on a single one. Any I have posted on MN have been torn apart so I'm open to any and all!

If I had a DS tomorrow he'd be called Laith. It's an Arabic name meaning Lion.

We picked ours (first and middle) out of current F1 drivers 🤷🏻‍♀️

We both love F1 and there are some great names in there Grin

It was the only way we could agree.

Have you tried the name app Kinder. It works like Tinder for baby names, where if you both like the same name it adds to a list. Might give you something of a starting point.

Otherwise some names I like:
Ambrose
Benedict
Cedric
Francis
Gideon
Lysander
Magnus
Moses
Robin
Stellan

I have a huge crush atm on the name Abraham. Either Bram or Abe for short. I'm having a girl.

I think this shows that you just need to choose a name you love. My DC have names (including Valentine) which MN has over the years declared to be "posh", "horsey" and "ridiculous", but I love them all, and wouldn't change them for any amount of MN vindication.

Just a random mix of names there

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 25/10/2021 08:39

If you want his name to stand out in a sea of Noahs and Henrys, go for Nigel, Simon, Glenn, Richard…

A few years ago 1/3 of my Cub pack were Thomas. Now they’re mostly Noah and Zak. There comes a point where popularity seems to defeat the purpose of a name to identify someone.

CatsArePeople · 25/10/2021 14:04

Kyle, Reynold, Adrian

DuneFan · 25/10/2021 14:28

My ds name regularly comes up on here as "boring dad name". In real life everyone smiles and says nice things. If you love the name just go for it!

But if you want suggestions: John, Matthew, Simon, Nicholas. All lovely and not too many about.
