Rank my Baby boy names

[Birdiboo]

It’s just over 2 weeks until we find out the gender of this little one but I like to be organised and know a name early on.

I like soft and gentle sounding boys names if that makes sense. For some reason I also really seem to like names with the letter “O” in them somewhere.

So far my boy names are…

Arlo (partner really likes this and is hard to please when it comes to names but I’m not sure)
Oscar
Theodore (Theo/Teddy)
Matthew
Noah (not convinced yet)
Ralph
Heath
Harry

Can you think of anymore along these lines that you think I’d like?

My daughter is Molly 💕

Arlo (partner really likes this and is hard to please when it comes to names but I’m not sure) don't like it. Too common now. Sounds pretentious.
Oscar* I like it the most*
Theodore (Theo/Teddy)* I like it*
Matthew* it's my brothers name so I like it*
Noah (not convinced yet)* nah too common and boring now*
Ralph sounds like a dogs name
Heath not keen
Harry* not keen*

Ralph (pronounced 'Rayfe'

The Molly I know has a sibling who is Joe (so that's the "o" sound sorted)!

Just to add another to the mix, what’s everyone’s thoughts on Zachary? Probably shortened to Zach?

Milo
Nico
Otis
Micah
Josiah
Jamie
Joah
Joby
Elliott

I think all these have a softer sound

Molly and Zach go together beautifully.

I also really like Otis, which works well with Molly too.

Arlo (partner really likes this and is hard to please when it comes to names but I’m not sure)
Oscar
Theodore (Theo/Teddy)
Matthew
Noah (not convinced yet)
Ralph
Heath
Harry

harry
theodore
ralph
heath
oscar
arlo
matthew
noah

that order

i think Oscar, Arlo, or Harry go best with molly

One of my favourite names...would have called my second DC that if she had been a boy

Molly is great.

Arlo - can't see any appeal
Oscar - ok but don't really like it
Theodore (Theo/Teddy) - dislike it. Theo overused, Teddy too faddy
Matthew - great but Molly & Matthew a bit too matchy.
Noah (not convinced yet) - No
Ralph - Raif or Ralf? No
Heath - will be Heef. Otherwise ok
Harry - ok

Matthew is my favourite, then Harry, but Oscar probably goes better. Heath is nice but seems more of a surname.

Arlo - too trendy, i don't think it will age well
Oscar - nice but I don't think it's very "soft"
Theodore (Theo/Teddy) - nice but very of the moment, every other baby and toddler seems to be a variation of these names at the moment
Matthew - nice but not sure about Molly and Matthew together
Noah - nice but popular
Ralph - I don't like Ralph and think the pronunciation as Rafe is worse
Heath - awful
Harry - nice name but don't think it flows well as Molly and Harry. Henry maybe works better?

Molly and Zach
Molly and Arthur
Molly and Hugo
Molly and Thomas
Molly and Owen

Zac is OK, but I don't like the Zach spelling. My mind reads it as Zatch.

Arlo is my favourite from your list and it sounds nice with Molly

I think Oscar goes best with Molly.
I like Ralph pronounced Raif but you will get people pronouncing it as Ralf.

Arlo - love it but it’s too popular right now and will date badly I think
Oscar- meh
Theodore (Theo/Teddy) - meh
Matthew - boring
Noah - really dislike
Ralph - like
Heath - love this
Harry - nice but dull

Rowan perhaps as another suggestion? Soft and gentle sounding and has an o..

I'm really not a fan of Arlo. To me it just screams we are middle class and want everyone to know it. They type who would loud parent in a play park and make sure everyone knows their children eat Hummus and olives.

Matthew is lovely. Well known and classic so that you are not having to worry about spellings but not very commonly used at the moment.

We also have a Molly and are expecting a boy! Currently our top contenders are Kit or Harris.

We also like Finlay, Rory, Ralph (probably going to be a middle name due it being a family name). I also love Henry but that has been vetoed. I do like Milo/Miles but I am not sure about both children having the same initial.
