Hi all,
Currently expecting our 3rd boy, due in August and we’re really struggling with names.

We have a Jude and a Rafferty (Raff).
I really like the name Flynn, with Wilfred also being a new choice.

We’re open to all suggestions!

I much prefer Flynn and it's more similar in style to his brother's names.

I'm not keen on Flynn. It's too Disney and makes me think 'skinflint'. It's also an Irish surname, as is Rafferty, so poor Jude would be an outlier.
Wilfred is nicer, but it doesn't really 'go'with the other names imo.

Suggestions:
Orson
Evander
Otis
Ezra
Barnaby
George
Caleb
Orlando
Luca
Xander
Soren
Micah

Rafferty, Jude & Flynn or how about

Quentin
Lucas
Caspar
Finnian

I’m not keen on Wilfred.

@TheDonsDingleberries there used to be a MNer called something like BendydickCuminsnatch Grin

That what puts many off using the name Benedict - it becomes Bendy Dick by puerile children Blush

Flynn goes well with Jude and Rafferty - they are all quite swashbuckling… Wilfred has more of a vicar vibe, so while I like it, he might feel hard done by

Guy
Xav (Xavier)
Gabe (Gabriel)
Abe or Bram (Abraham)
Seb or Bash (Sebastian)
Nate (Nathaniel)
Xander (Alexander)
Blaise

all have a similar 3 musketeers vibe to me

Hi all,

Thank you for the above replies, our 3rd boy is now safely here, and currently nameless, though is only a few days old! 💙

I’m still loving the name Flynn (to go with brothers Jude and Rafferty). We seem to have gone off the name Wilfred, and think Isaac is now a popular contender, with either the middle of Thomas, after my brother or Alan after my late dad). As well as
the name Zachary.

What are people’s thoughts on Flynn / Isaac / Zachary? Welcoming any extra ideas too.

Thank you in advance 🙂

Congratulations. I still think Flynn goes great with your other boys' names. I love Isaac too. Zachary is ok, but I prefer the other two.

Zebralie · 09/08/2025 15:10

Congratulations! I like Flynn but prefer Quinn! I’m less keen on Isaac or Zachary.

LivingTheDreamish · 09/08/2025 18:41

Congratulations! I like all your name options but how about Phineas nn Finn as an alternative to Flynn.

Congratulations! Hope you are recovering well.

Flynn is definitely my favourite of the three.
Flynn Thomas is lovely
You could also go for Finlay and nn Finn?
Finlay goes better than Flynn with Alan as a middle name
