Struggling for boys names

53 replies

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 ❤️

Rhys doesn't start with an R, @user1492757084 .

Robin, Robert, Roger, Reggie, Roland, Rico, Richard, Rhett, Romeo

How would you say Rhys as I would say it like Reese x

Love Romeo and Rhett!!

Is your Ralph pronounced 'Rafe'. If so I would go with a different vowel sound. Rueben, Rupert, Rufus, Remi. I also like Rhett (but he would have to be gorgeous !)

How do you pronounce Rhys ?

Rio!

User0311 · 01/06/2023 07:27

I loved the name Ronnie for boy

Newuser82 · 01/06/2023 08:34

Raffy!!

Another vote for Rhett, it’s so lovely

Rhys certainly looks as though it begins with R.

It’s pronounced just like Ralf so I think anything would work to be honest, I just can’t find a name that both me and my husband love!!

@greyhairnomore , not Rees/Reece. Rh is like R+H said at the same time, the Y doesn't have an equivalent sound but is sort of like ee but with your tongue in a horseshoe shape, the S is like the C in Reece. It's an extremely popular name in Wales, and I only hear this pronunciation.

@LulooLemon , it's a Welsh name and RH is a letter in Welsh, not an R followed by a H

The proper Welsh pronunciation is lovely.

KirstenBlest · 01/06/2023 12:05

@LulooLemon , I think so too. I really like the name but I know lots of them.
I don't like it said 'Rees'

greyhairnomore · 01/06/2023 12:37

@KirstenBlest ok, didn't know that.

KirstenBlest · 01/06/2023 14:20

@greyhairnomore , no need for you to know unless you have an interest in Welsh. My pedantry is probablyy similar to a Swedish person saying that Åsa doesn't start with A

Since your sons' second vowels are -o, -u, and -a, I think it would be nice to have this baby's second letter be an -e, -i or -y (or -h).
