So stuck on a boys name, looking for some suggestions

Hiya, I’m due my 4th baby in Nov and first boy, first baby with my DP but 5th all together.

My girls are River, Alba and Elara
stepson is Stanley

so you might see where we’re having trouble finding a name we both like 🤣

So far the only names we agree on are Robin and Rowan, but neither of us are actually sold on those.
DP loves Vincent, but it feels a little too old man for me. I really need to find a mid ground name that’s not the usual Alex, Noah, James, Jesse, etc
I’m not loving the hippier names like Arlo, Jasper, Atticus, etc either.

I absolutely also see that I’m the problem here lol, I just can’t find any names I love.

it doesn’t need to be super out there, I’m open to most things at this point (unless people start suggesting Gary, Dave, Simon, etc, don’t want a name that sounds like one of my dad’s peers)

please send suggestions! I’m so stuck 😅
thank you

OP, this is something your child will need to live with. Please choose something reasonable with his interests in mind.

Sorry only now realised you mentioned you knew it's a boy. Wyatt

GlaikitWeeNyaff · 04/08/2025 19:55

Robin is lovely.

i also have a soft spot for Carrick.

and my out there choice is Jupiter.

The problem with names like Atlas or Jupiter is that they would seem silly if the son is very slim and small....

Rowan fits both your styles I think!

Or: Jude, Logan, Lewis, Beau, Caleb, Jonah, Benji, Rory

Limonades · 05/08/2025 12:05

Robin, Reuben, Quentin and Vincent are lovely and fit your style imo.

Fen476 · 05/08/2025 12:15

I really like Rowan! As you seem to like natural names River/Rowan what about Ash (on it's own, not short for Ashley!) It's unusual without being odd. Heath is another but too American maybe.

Bartholemew
Timothy - really fallen out of favour but I dont know why- timeless
