What's your first boy called? I like Adam! We also liked George, Samuel, Dylan, Benjamin. Congrats on two boys ❤️

Ikeameatballs · 24/10/2025 21:09

What is it that you like about Adam? What is your DS1 called?

I’m thinking:
Luke
Alex
Aaron
James
Niall
Drew
Nico

We have two boys and it was so tough! Adam was one of our top names. The other names we really liked but didn’t use were Toby, Tristan, Sam, Joseph and Finn

Amazing ideas !! Hubby likes Tristan. I don’t. Seems too posh. Does Adam bring bad vibes? Can’t get hubby to say really why he dos t like :) :)

I absolutely love Sam for a boy. Perhaps it's because I've known a few really fabulous ones in my DC friendship groups.

Not so keen on Tristan.

Firsttimebabymummy · 25/10/2025 12:45

I LOVE Adam!
Luke, Andrew, James, Alex

If he doesn’t like Adam and you don’t like Tristan then it looks as though you’re both looking for other names?

Do you both prefer the an/am ending?

How about:

Ethan-although a bit over done in the early 2000s

Abraham

Liam

Sam

William

Ethan

Logan

Roman

Dylan

Rowan

Sebastian

SleafordSods · 26/10/2025 07:54

Forgot to say my personal favourites at the moment are Eli and Ambrose Smile

Gosh !! Amazing ideas here. Sleaford your right. We had to come up with something. Not Adam not Tristan. Thinking about options. Needs to be short.

I've got an Adam..he's 19 now. Still love the name and it is not very common. However, traditionally it means first born son but maybe that doesn't bother you.

DemonsandMosquitoes · 26/10/2025 19:45

I have an Adam. He’s 22 and it’s still my favourite boys name. His brother is Luke.
I also like James, Evan, Benjamin, Marcus, Dominic, Elias, Isaac, Zachary, Joseph, Edward.
