Sweet spot boy names

[ElizaSkye]

Just don’t feel I’ve found the one. Baby due in
November, we don’t know the sex but I have a firm girl’s name. 2 DD’s already both with French influenced names at the less common end of the top 100.

Middle name would probably be George or Joseph depending on first name

So far we’ve considered-

Jasper
Jonah- only one of us likes
Finn
Gabriel - LOVE but can’t use as a friend has

any suggestions welcome!

Seth
Flynn
Jude
Austin
Casper
Dexter
Donovon

Thank you! Caspar I like but one in the family (which makes me hesitate on Jasper)

Austin I actually like too but thanks to my brother’s 90’s wrestling obsession has weird connotations!

Flynn is on the list now thank you!

Thibault
xavier
Rafe
sebastian

LOVE Sebastian but husband doesn’t.

Xavier & Rafe both lovey , thank you

I also love Etienne, but we’re not actually French!

Russell

Gabriel is a beautiful name! If you love it then don't skip it just because a friend has used it.

If you love Gabriel, what about Raphael? Raffi is a gorgeous nickname too

Bartholomew (Bartie is cute and unusual)
Barnabus
Michael
Claude

I really like Raphael and all versions of- Rapha, Raffy etc. I’m not sure we can get away with it without any European connection though?! Is it wearable?!

I think Raphael is definitely usable- I've met a few English ones.

What about Julian/ Julien as suggested by previous posters? The latter fits your French vibe.

Otis
tristan
laurence
eric
ellis

I like Jules. Julian as a full name just makes me think of Julian Clary. Obviously fabulous but quite a strong connotation!

Thank you everyone for fabulous suggestions. I appreciate I sound uber picky! I just haven’t felt that certainty of finding the one like I did with my girls names. Who knows, maybe it’s because I’m having another girl?!

maybe I have to accept that I don’t full in love with boys names in the same way and settle for a combination I feel happy with and that we’d never regret.

so far-

Raphael Joseph (Rapha)

Jasper George

Kit Joseph

There are lots others mentioned that I like but wouldn’t use due to proximity of knowing them x
