Unfortunately DH vetoed both.

Good luck.

Benjamin is a beautiful name.

Easterfunbun · 31/03/2023 11:29

I knew this would escalate. ONE name the OP asked for and we get lists.

No, it doesn’t matter??? It’s just a game, within certain parameters, not hard to keep to. Someone ran out 16! I’m just grateful not have to work with people like that, meetings must be a nightmare.

Saul - a Hebrew name meaning 'longed for' .
Very rare never hear it used and will never understand why Paul is so common, yet Saul is so much less so.
Only had one son who exh /his dad insisted be called by a long standing family traditional name for first born sons.

I lost a baby with current DH later in life who l was going to call Saul so the name was never meant to be for me sadly but l do love it.

Sorry for your loss Flowers
I have a Saul, absolutely love his name and don't understand why it isn't more popular!

My son has the best boy’s name, obviously. It’s very uncommon and I’m not saying what it is. His middle name is the next best boy’s name. 😀Again not saying.

My favourite name that I wouldn’t use, because I really don’t like how popular it is, but I otherwise do really love it, is Jack. Then Tom. I also like Alex.

CurlewKate · 31/03/2023 12:42

Patrick. Used it!

It's really hard to choose just one, though!
I love DS's name but also like Ivo, James, Leo, Max, Reuben, Toby... there are so many great boy's names.
