Boy names to go with Nina?

[JLB234]

We’ve recently found out that we’re going to have a little boy. Very exciting but we’re finding boy names much harder to agree on. Plus we have lots of boys in our family so lots of names have already been taken. We like more traditional names, prefer those that aren’t super popular but also aren’t “out there”. You can probably see why we’re having such a problem 😂. We also have a little girl called Nina so any boys names which would go with that would be great!

Any feedback would be appreciated as we really are stuck!! 😂.

Thanks xx

The names don't need to go together IMO, but it helps if there's a common vibe, and the names not too similar.

Do you want another shortish name? Would you use a diminutive but with a longer name on the birth certificate?
Which names do you like but can't use?
How would you define traditional?

Names I think would not go would be:

• something like Nino, Gino, anything beginning with N (Noah, Nate, Niall ...)
• from a different culture or religion (e.g. Muhammed, Tsumugi or Alparslan)

Thanks for your suggestions. Some lovely ones, especially Nate and Rudy! The boys names we can’t use because of family/one of us have vetoed are:

Harry

Vinnie
Milo
Max
Vinnie
Harvey
Freddie
Oliver
Luke

Oh and also Jude and Alfie!

Why are you choosing your 2nd born's name to match your first? You didn't choose your 1st born's name with another name in mind, so it should be the same this time around. They are individuals

Nina and Nate are too matchy.

I never quite understand the thing about names being “taken”. DH is Irish and he has at least three cousins with the same first and second name. TBF he has a LOT of cousins.

Me too! But I have no idea why! Was is a singing duo?

Ah, just seen the post! Blimey they were 50s/60s so must have been my parents influence!

Yep, I'm ancient!

Totally agree. But suggest Wiener if you want a match for Nina.
