Boy Names to go with James....

Hey All

Expecting #2 next month and me and my DH are stumped when it comes to boy names

We have both written down lists of our favourite names and to our surprise two of the names were the same for girls names so at least we have narrowed that down to Chloe or Cara!

However for boys we just can't agree lol - our lists are soo different and we don't really like any of what each other has chosen 🙈

Some of His:
Rhys
Luke
Bruce

Some of Mine:
Taylor
Brodie
Gregor

We already have a son called James just wondering if you could help giving us some inspiration??x

@wizzler

David is my sons middle name actually!! So can't go with that but George could be an option! I don't dislike that ☺️ xx

I think you want something fairly classic to go with James. Luke is nice. I don’t personally like Bruce but it’s ok. Quite like Gregor, if you are Scottish, otherwise Gregory. Really don’t like the others - too faddy (and Taylor especially is a naughty boys name.)

Rory
Alistair
Reuben
Patrick
Laurence
Alexander
Lucas
Benjamin nn Ben
Nathaniel nn Nate
Robert
Matthew
Michael

@MatureStudentToBeMaybe

I can see you’ve had a few influences -

Books of the Bible
Scottish names? (Campbells - speed record holders.)
Kings
Thomas the Tank engine

itsgettingweird · 15/04/2022 20:37

George
William
Thomas
Matthew
Benjamin/ Benji
Sebastian
Lucas/Luke
Jake
Joseph

James is quite a classic name and I love classic boys names.

I have a Thomas Joseph with actually goes quite well with James David!
