Hiya everyone,
Ive just a had a little boy and he doesn’t have a name! His sister is called Charlotte Elizabeth and we had a girls name picked out but can’t agree on boys names.

Names we can’t use: Alexander, Daniel, Matthew, Benjamin, Jacob, Thomas, Noah, George, Alfred, Max, Leo, Jonathon, Nicholas

Please can you give some suggestions, as I can’t seem to think of anything I like and can use.
Thank you so much!

I think these go well and seem to fit with your list.

James
Henry
Christopher (although same initial)
Sam/Samuel
Adam
Harry
Albert (Bertie)
Andrew
Robert
Frederick (Freddie)

Have you tried those apps that are like Tinder for baby names where it assembles a list of names you both swipe right on?

Sorry, I included the quote so I could see the list of no-go names but forgot to remove it before posting.

Thanks so much for all these replies!
We’ve decided his middle name will be James as it’s a family name.
Jospeh, Oliver and Henry keep being suggested and we both agree on these 3 so any of these you think are better?
Thanks again!

William.

Charlotte is incredibly neutral and goes with basically anything.

puddingandsun · 05/12/2025 13:15

Oliver James is perfect (and that’s why it’s so popular but that wouldn’t bother me)

I would avoid Henry. I am a TA and I can tell you there’s a lot of Henrys around. Oliver is popular too but I do like Ollie. Joseph is nice but will likely become Joe. I have never met a Joe I didn’t like!

ChannelLightVessel · 05/12/2025 13:18

I know two Charlottes with brothers called Henry.

Songlines · 05/12/2025 13:21

James
William
Oliver

All classics and timeless

Treylime · 05/12/2025 13:24

I wouldnt use William or anything Royal family related if you are Kate and you have a Charlotte Elizabeth

Needspaceforlego · 05/12/2025 13:24

Oliver James or Joseph James could end up as JJ
btw I love James

Henry James, is ok but do any Henrys stay as Henry or do they all become Harry. Its also very Royal

So no James or Henry either then OP!
