Help with my ridiculous boys name criteria

161 replies

Jerrylarrygary · 15/02/2023 17:02

I'm trying to think of boys names, and drawing a complete blank as I either don't like them, or if I do they have been used by my friends and family who've had boys over the last few years. I do realise I sound insanely picky, but does anyone have any suggestions for nice names with these criteria:

Doesn't begin with E, D, L or B
Not cutesy but not traditional
Not an 'old man' name
Class neutral (probably a terrible way to put it!) - i.e. not Jasper or Hugo, and not Kayden or Brayden.
Not one of these: Toby, Arlo, Ben, Theo, Leo, Isaac, Elliot, Finley, Max, Reuben, Louis, Jonah, Nathan/Nate, Etienne, Noah, Sam, Oscar, Alfie

I am open to:
Something nature related
A bit unusual is fine but nothing too out there
Welsh influenced would be ok for our family background but we do currently live in England, albeit a border town.
Not bothered on length, nickname or shortenability.

It will have an unusual but not at all weird 3 syllable surname.

Help?

I have a Bodhi. Love the name so much! But OP said no names beginning with a B.

What about Wren? A little boy in my sons nursery is called Wren.
