Baby names
Really stuck for boy names
dottyrobin · 19/01/2023 20:26
I already have a daughter called Eleanor nn. Ellie
The boys names I instinctively like without thinking are Elijah and Elliot which clearly won't work with Ellie.
I also really like Max but my surname is May so Max May sounds like a dodgy superhero.
Husband likes Robert nn. Bobby but I don't like it.
We both sort of like Arthur but I'm still not 100%.
Looking for some inspiration for names that will go with both sibling name and surname.

Max May is a great name!
For a superhero 
StampOnTheGround · 19/01/2023 20:44
We have a Max, I would still use it with May - sounds great!
Other names we considered (well not really, we only had Max that we both loved) were Leo and Arlo

I'd go with Maximilian May nn Max - I think it's awesome!! Max and Eliot were both on my list, as well as
Theodore May nn Teddy
Benjamin May
Sebastian May

Every other little boy is called Arthur at the moment! Arthur or Theo - very overused
How about

While reading your post I thought of Ethan and Robin. (Alternatives to Elliot/Elijah and Robert)

I worked with a police dog called Max May and he was absolutely incredible! Great, great name choice 👌🏻

I love Maximilian May too. A memorable name, heroic without being silly.

I'm swinging back towards Max May now! The only reason I was put off Arthur was the current popularity.
Quite like Evan, Alexander, Felix, Robin and Lawrence from the suggestions.
Cameron May sounds too political for me 😂
Pinkdafodils · 20/01/2023 13:59
Please don't call your son Max May - it sounds so comical imo.
Pinkdafodils · 20/01/2023 14:01
I think a 2 syllable name sounds best
Oscar May
Quentin May
Reuben May
Luredbyapomegranate · 20/01/2023 14:02
Robert nn Robbie or Robin rather than Bobby?
Alistair
Patrick
Francis
Tobias (Toby)
Dominic
Sebastian
Jonathan
Ernest
Thomas
Daniel
I think Laurence is a nice suggestion
Max is a bit overdone I think, and Max May I don’t think is great.
If Arthur is too popular for you I would lay off Alexander, combined with just Alex it seems to be the name of the moment
