I really like these type of names for a boy but I don't feel like they're names I'd name my baby.

I'm having a difficult time coming up with boy names I adore and would use for my baby. I want it to sound strong, handsome and cool at the same time.

Could you help me think of similar boy names?

I don't see a connection in your list of names and don't think they sound strong, handsome or cool.

Theo - overused. Originally Greek.
Hugo- popular. Originally old Germanic.
Romeo - Originally Italian.
Luca - popular. Originally Italian.

Leo is nice.

Those are very much middle class rah rah names of the last decade. Take a look at the telegraph birth announcements for inspiration of what's current.

FWIW I like:
Henry
Robin
Ezra
Nicholas
Bryn

Theo and Luca are lovely. Don’t like Romeo or Hugo at all.

Romeo - Originally Italian.
Luca - popular. Originally Italian.

Leo is nice.

The connection is the Oh and Oo sounds.

Only Luca has an Oo sound. Hugo is Hew-go in the UK.

Strong, handsome & cool?

I would class as Roman as these. Definitely not Theo, which is so overused and uncool imo.

i like these suggestions:

Felix
Quentin
Matteo
Caspar
Reuben

Just go for Luca, it’s a great name. Lots of these suggestions are awful

BasaFillet · 31/05/2025 17:53

i bloody love a mumsnet name thread, always some insane suggestions 😂😂😂

Only Luca has an Oo sound. Hugo is Hew-go in the UK.

Was that to me? The person who said ‘oo and oh’? …..HugO!

PanderBare · 01/06/2025 17:59

@TheyreLikeUsButRichAndThin , think so. I say Luca as Lou-ka, and Hugo as Hugh-go.

The spelling is similar, but not the sound.
