I don't love any boy names

[RiotC]

So DS is Kit. Love his name, thought of it quite early on and it always stuck and he's 5 now.
Next DS is on the way and I'm just not loving any names
Names I like but close family have them so I can't:
Ezra
Jesse
Jake
Wren
Names I like but have been vetoed by DP:
Jude
Oscar
Patrick
Names we both liked but just aren't quite right:
Ash
Aiden
Cillian

Any ideas. I'm Irish and have a very common Irish surname (and everyone has my surname double barrelled)
We do live in England though so whilst I could go a bit Irish, I want everyone to be able to pronounce it.
Equally partner is English and I'm happy with an Englishy name too or one that doesn't scream either like Kit!

My friend is Irish and her son is Finn! 😁

I love Casey for a boy

Mark, John, Michael

Oh I like Finn, I bet it's on DPs No list!
To make it worse we are both teachers so there are a lot of names that just have too much association with someone we teach!

Asa

Chad
Max
Conrad
Amos
Saul

I like Kit a lot.

I also like Casper and Laurie

Gabriel

Oops sorry not Irish at all

Asher (a biblical name - close to a choice you both nearly love😀)

Oooh Laurie. Love it. Reminds me of Little Women.

I like lots on your list.

Ivo
Judah
Sebastian
Blaise
Leon
Jonah
Blake
Henry
Inigo
Eden
Remy

Bede
Idris
Max
Otto
Alexander (Alex, Sasha, Sandy)

• Zeb (Zebedee)
• Saul
• Adam
• Asher / Ash
• Eijah / Eli
• Elis
• Cyrus

Irish names I like

Shea

I love Kit! It was on our list too.

Our DS is Torin. I fell in love with the name after seeing it on a baby name website when I was about six months pregnant. I was a bit worried it was too 'out there' but we took the plunge and now more than a year on, we can't imagine him being called anything else.

Congratulations and best of luck with your new baby 😘

Definitely doesn't have to be Irish just an option. My first name definitely isn't as my 80s Irish parents didn't want us to sound "too Irish" whatever that means! (Then called my younger siblings really Irish names and I was jealous!

Oh Torin is a beautiful name.

I love Kit! Kit and

Teddy

Zack

Freddie
Rex
Rudy
Rafe

how about atlas ,

Kit was on my list last time and very nearly my son’s name! I’m also a teacher so had the same problem and started to realise every really nice name seemed to be taken by a child I knew from work that I would not want to be reminded of on a daily basis 🙈 It is a massive issue as a teacher, everyone else can take their pick from any name!

One name I’ve heard since having my son that I’ve thought was really lovely was Blaine. I also liked Brett which I was pregnant. Finn is one of my favourites ever but very popular where I am
