Hi all, hoping for some inspiration! Surname starts with an M, and I really like alliterative names. First baby, so nothing to match with etc.

Ideally I’d like something that’s not too popular, which would give them a good chance of being the only one in the class….

Open to all suggestions! Thanks

Certainly, Kenneth is the English-language form of a Gaelic male name that is based on a word meaning 'handsome'.

But Mac is a Gaelic prefix that means 'son of'.

But I really, really, really don't want to be impolite.

Magdalena is beautiful.
I also love Madeleine.

My favourite 'M' boys name is Max.

Love Martha and Maeve but both popular.

Jemima is one of my faves but not technically M but strong M nevertheless and can nickname Mim/Mimi

Boys less easy - the common obvious ones, but I also like:

Malachi
Emmanuel - Mani

Unless you are in Ireland they will be the only ones on the school, let alone the class.

Maliaka (it’s South African)
