Help with boy names

Currently 20 weeks pregnant with DC2 and struggling for boy names. DC1 is Reuben and I still love his name but can’t find any others I like near as much.

So far our list is:

Jasper
Joel
Jonah
Otis
Sebastian

Any suggestions please?

I love the name Joel!

I don't think you need any other suggestions Wink

Joel is my favourite from your list. I thoroughly dislike Otis and Sebastian

Jasper or Joel

pinklavenders · 04/05/2022 17:24

I like Otis. Also Marcus, Quentin and Caspar.

TheGlitterFairy · 04/05/2022 22:06

I have a Sebastian so gets my vote! Everyone we have met says they love his name. We call him various variations of the name plus full name also. Love it!

ButterRose · 06/05/2022 13:40

Love Jasper, Otis, and Sebastian

I also have a Reuben! I know of two other Reubens/Rubens with brothers - Jonah and Freddie.

In case we have similar taste in names beyond Reuben, other names I like include:
Owen
Matthew
Alexander
Roddy
Ross

Theoldwoman · 06/05/2022 14:10

I love all your names and that doesn’t happen here at all.
Reuben was always on my list, however I had all girls.

Suggestions:

Ayrton
Tobias
Jeremy
Elias
Fraser
Benjamin
Adam
Angus
Lucas
Theo
Henry
Patrick
Quade
Micah

User6761 · 06/05/2022 14:14

Of the names on your list, I like Jonah and Sebastian (Seb) best. Jasper a bit too posh for me and Otis a bit trendy (have met quite a few) but both sound nice with Reuben so not bad choices at all.

pinklavenders · 06/05/2022 14:39

Sebastian is a little long, so may end up as Sebby or Basty, neither of which I personally like.

Reuben is lovely and I'd choose another 2 syllable name like Otis, Quentin, Isaac.

Galwayg · 07/05/2022 00:33

The only one I’d take off your list is Sebastian, really not keen on it but love the rest!

bridgetreilly · 07/05/2022 00:54

Reuben and Finn
Reuben and Fergus
Reuben and Micah
Reuben and Alastair
Reuben and Cameron

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/05/2022 23:56

Love Joel, like Jonah, not keen on the rest.

Jethro, Jerome, Jude, Nathaniel, Josiah, Levi, Jonas, Caleb, Patrick, Kester, Francis, Cahal, Rufus, Saul, Silas, Amos, Lachlan, Linus,
