Totally stuck, trying to find a name for a third boy! Really wanted something one or two syllables, a bit more modern but not wild.
Considering:
Elliot - put off by it being 3 syllables
Noah - but we’re v atheist
Arthur - worried it’s all too old man/Tudor with Henry
Alexander - not super excited by Alex but feels safe.

Can’t use Finn, Leo or Oscar. Any ideas or thoughts welcome!

Yes -massive backtrack. Like I said always loved the name Ally , just hadn't really but it to a boys name. I loved it from the Ally's World Book series. So from a kid ally was a favourite name. But best I named my son was alex

Keep coming back to Jack, just had hoped for something a bit different. I love love Finn but can’t use it and I guess Jack has similar vibes

I'm really confused by your reasons not to use Noah. It's literally the most popular name in the country so most people using it won't be Christian, and your atheism didn't stop you using Samuel?!

Peter? Long overdue a revival!

Joe- that was my best choice of boy name. Strong and simple.

Ally is not a nickname for alistair. Don't consider that at all. I love Ally but potentially only for a girl

Lots of Alistairs are nicknamed Ally!

I also have a cousin called Ali short for Alistair. He is some bigwig accountant/Management Consultant and jets around Europe.

What about Ellis instead of Elliot? Or Edison instead of Edward? @barca123
