Help with possible unusual boys name short and without E sound

73 replies

Journey2022 · 16/05/2023 20:30

Hoping for some help with ideas for boys names! Girls names were easy, and of course we find out we're having a boy...!!
We have really struggled to agree on names, our surname is unusual 2 syllables ending in an 'E' sound. So names ending in an E sound are out! (Lily, Rosie, Riley etc). Also the boys names we do kind of like don't seem to match our girl names (if we do ever get to use them!)

My worry is I love my girl names but don't love any boy names - do you have to love a name to use it?

Maybe you can give suggestions based on names we kind of like/agree on names we like?

Names we like/kind of agree on -
Leo (possibly Leandro with Leo for short)
Lorenz
Mateo/Maceo (not sure if I can get on board with the pronunciation in the middle of - tay-oh)
Kenzo (kind of dismissed now due to not liking the nickname of Kenny)
Luka
Theo - has come up but DH dismissed

I love Blake - DH won't go for it at all. I also liked Alexander/Zander/Xavier he doesn't.
He quite likes Zane - I'm not on board.

For reference our girls names were -
Gabriella/Gabrielle
Valentina
Alessandra
Isobel
Maddox/Maddison (I also like Maddox for a boy DH doesnt)

If you can help with any suggestions I would be so interested to see what people come up with that may match our style?!

Thanks!

I have a young relative named Blaise...I think it's very cool, and perhaps one you might like?

If you’re looking for unusual I’d stay away from Theo- they’re everywhere!

I agree also something we discussed! But think Leo is just as popular as Theo now and that seems to be the front runner.
