I like Leo and have an Owen.

Tate is an awesome name, very cool.

All lovely names, although I don’t like Chester. What about Leo and Hugo?

Archie, Issac and Miles both go well and aren’t very overused. I like Albie as a nn for Albert but don’t think it stands alone - same for Joey and Joseph. Arlo is too similar yes.

Otherwise Jude, Patrick, Thomas, Ivor, Franklin, Noah, Jonah, Jerome, Innes, Alistair, Nathaniel, Rory, Max, Rufus all go well.

Kai is a naughty boys name - don’t. Freddie, Charlie and Oliver have been done to death. Chester is a bit meh and cheesy, and when you put Leo and Chester together I start thinking of the Zoo.. though that’s arguably quite sweet I suppose

timoteigirl · 10/04/2022 19:19

How is Kai a naughty boys name?? Not heard that before. To me it is an elderly man's name rather than for a baby / boy.

We have very different tastes in names so the only one I like from your list is Henry. What about Frankie? Franklin? Gideon? Lennart? Lars?

@Purpleroseas Didn't even occur to me, although i have seen it. I still love the names!

Josh, obviously.

(Complete West Wing fan…. sooo would have called DD Josh if she’d been DS2 to go with DS1)
