Conrad. And yes we used it. He is 21 and I still love it

pankihanki · 10/03/2023 23:56

Ralphie but everyone else seems to think its a dogs name

Moveforward · 10/03/2023 23:56

Not Cormac! He will never be able to live in Cornwall! It's the name of our councils repair and maintenance company!

Lysander. It's a no from DH but I think it's so beautiful.

Etienne

This IS a beautiful name. I haven't heard many English boys names that sound very beautiful.

Agree with Etienne also.

Bigbus · 11/03/2023 00:05

Arlo is my favourite but I didn’t use it as my family are more traditional and I wasn’t brave enough!

I also like David and Ezra and Nate and Daniel.

LivingNextDoorToNorma · 11/03/2023 00:05

James. Always has been my favourite.

Sonny, Luca, Ezra and Benny

shoopshoopdedoo · 11/03/2023 00:25

James. I’ve always loved it. Husband is not English so we didn’t use, as it doesn’t have an equivalent in his language.

Streamside · 11/03/2023 00:27

Laurie is a huge favourite of mine but I didn't use it for either of my sons.

FettleOfKish · 11/03/2023 00:29

Evan, but my first husbands surname rather ruled that out for me forever Sad

smokeyrabbit · 11/03/2023 00:30

Etienne

fastandthecurious1 · 11/03/2023 00:37

Raphael, Travis, luca , Sebastian or Emilio
Named my son milo

fastandthecurious1 · 11/03/2023 00:38

Loved Jesse! but being Scottish roots rules that out sadly

Highjinks01 · 11/03/2023 00:39

Kit. No boys sadly but I think it’s the perfect boy’s name. My girls would have been Asa I think but I love James, Tom and Daniel too.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 11/03/2023 00:44

Josh (but my DS says every other boy in his school was Josh or Joshua)
Ralph ( hero in Lord of the Flies )

Neither is my DS name

Luca is nice , though I'd imagine it'd get autocorrrected to Lucas

smileladiesplease · 11/03/2023 00:44

For lads traditional

Harry
Michael
Jacob
Richard
Henry
William
Francis
Albert

Blisterinthe · 11/03/2023 00:45

Alastair, Callum, Oscar and Elliott

Rinkydinkydoodle · 11/03/2023 00:46

Always thought Evander was a lovely name but am liking Etienne, never thought of that for a wee garçon, now I wish I was French/posh!

Went for a (surprise) favourite from this thread instead 😂
