Struggling for boys names

53 replies

Wifey4Lifey · 31/05/2023 00:44

Currently 37+3 with a little boy
This will be my 4th boy!!
We already have Louis, Luca and Ralph.
We want to go for another R name to fit with the trend, any suggestions are welcome but ‘unique/classic’ names are my all time favourite.
(middle names welcomed too as that is something else er struggle with!)

Thanks for all the help mummies ❤️

I have to spend Rowan here. Great name.

I would go with Reuben or Rupert

TenThousandSpoons · 31/05/2023 06:20

“Unique/classic”? Aren’t they opposites?

Love Rex, Reuben and Rowan. Rafferty is gorgeous - maybe shorten to Rafe? Oh - Read is also lovely.

Rafferty (but I'm biased as it's my surname)
Ralph - my friend has a 12yr old lovely boy
Rupert - I think it's old enough now, to be attached to a teddy bear with checked trouser.
Ruben
Ray

We already have a Ralph!!
I love Rafferty but I feel like it’s to close to Ralph 🙈
I also love Rupert but I’m so northern my T’s just don’t come out so it sounds silly :/

Yes my baby names list really goes from one end of the spectrum to the other!!
for example my girls name list has names like Clara and Polly and then jumps to names like Drew and Navy.
Although my boys names are quite run of the mill

roman

rhett

YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch · 31/05/2023 22:03

My son is called Wren which you could have as Ren?

I also like Remi

Orangebadger · 31/05/2023 22:09

Robin, Rohan, Rowan, Raul, Raphael but that's probably too close to Ralph.

I think Ro names might work best. My favourites are:

Ronan
Rory
Rowan
Robbie
Robin

Though also like
