If I want a simple boys name

[bravotango]

Hi

We have quite an unusual surname and would like a simple, easy to spell/pronounce name for our boy due later this year. We like Jack, Max and Fred for reference - just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions! Surname is one syllable.

Thanks!

As a teacher, I couldn't use Jack.

Jack is sooo overused. I know about 20 all aged under 20...!

Jem (old nickname for James)
Rick
Dale

Nigel, Gary, Stephen

Jack for sure

Sone great names mentioned including Peter which I love but haven't met many under 60 so perhaps due a revival ?

Adam

Jacob

I loved Max but DH vetoed it

I think if surname one syllable, it might sound better to have a first name with more than one syllable (depends on your actual surname obviously). Two one syllable names can potentially by a bit short and abrupt.

I agree with this.

I have a Hugo.

we have an Alex (Alexander) and Tom (Thomas)

Evan

Troy

Ronan

Fynn Anthony - I think it flows quite well:)
