Hi!
We're due a new baby boy very soon, but at a loss for names.
Our first son's name is Lars.
Any suggestions appreciated! Thankyou!

Thorsten (or Torsten but I prefer it with a Th as it means Thor's Stone).

Love this name 🥰

Felix was my first thought. Love some of the other suggestions.

I immediately thought Ulrich but then I remembered Lars Ulrich is Metallicas drummer so...

I like Soren and Odin

This list 😂

Jocelyn 😅

Is that still used as a man's name??

Of the four or five others I've met there was one very posh and elderly Sir Jocelyn, but I'm pretty sure it's seen as a name for females now! I'm definitely female...

I'm not even going there with Patrice or Leslie (yes I know, this could be a man's name but just...no) let alone Gary and Barry 😆

OP I really like Hendrik or Soren. Sven is nice too.

Dammit I'm going to have to name change again now I've mentioned my real name!

I work with a Jocelyn! He’s not that old, late 40s/early 50s I think.

I admit, I did write that list with my tongue firmly in my cheek. One name isn’t a lot to go on, who knows what kind of names the OP would like? I don’t know that many families who have a ‘theme’ with their offspring, usually it’s just a name they like!

Barry is a pretty common name in Ireland, again no idea of where the OP lives and what names they like based on one name!
