I created a thread the other day asking for opinions on 10/12 names however I don't really love any of them. I would like some inspiration so what are your sons names?
(Only share is you're happy of course) :)

My son has one of these names on my list ( I tend to like very classic names that don’t usually give away age or social background for the childs sake - this inevitably means the names are often fairly popular though):

Edward
James
Alexander
William
Thomas
Samuel
Max
Michael
Nathaniel
Owen

We had a lot of J names on there, and he did end up with one of them!

Ty67460 · 13/05/2024 17:20

@SabreIsMyFave I did say to only post their names if you're happy to. Just scroll past if you don't have any suggestions.

I had three girls but if I had a son I would have called him Jude

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 13/05/2024 17:23

Thomas is my absolute favourite boys name and even though I had two boys I didn't use it for either of their first names.

I wish I'd stuck to my guns more, really.
