DBIL and DSIL are expecting their first! A little boy! Surname begins with K and is two syllables, middle name undecided yet but these are some names they like but either cannot use or both don’t agree on:

Rafferty
Rufus
Coast
Cove
Felix
Montgomery
Blake
Wilbur
Rupert
Cohen
Magnus
Kit
Jude

I would avoid Coast and Cove, personally, they're a little too left field.
Felix, Magnus and Montgomery are great, classic names.
Rufus and Rafferty are nice strong names.
They'd all go with a K surname, which would exclude Kit for me.

Rufus and Magus are lovely and underused, it’s a shame they don’t agree. My suggestion is Bruno.

Eenameenadeeka · 09/12/2025 08:30

I vote for Wilbur.

Magnus, Rufus, Wilbur and Montgomery are handsome with K

Don't use names starting with C or F.

PInkyStarfish · 09/12/2025 10:42

Rafferty - I prefer Rafe or Raphael.
Rufus - ok
Coast - ridiculous.
Cove - even more ghastly than Coast.
Felix - lovely name.
Montgomery - lovely. Monty as a nickname.
Blake - not keen .
Wilbur - no.
Rupert - lovely name.
Cohen - no.
Magnus - not keen.
Kit - ok
Jude - ok

I like Rufus and Marcus. How about Quentin or Reuben?

I hate Rupert.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 09/12/2025 17:46

I love Wilbur, Felix and Jude. I also quite like the sound of Coast but it may be hard to carry off.

Miles
Milo
Joss
Jacoby (Jah-co-bee)
Ronan
Zachary
Alexander nn Alex
Caleb
Walter
Linus
Frank
Austin
Victor
Raphael
Reuben
Rory
Caspar
Nathaniel nn Nat
Philip nn Pip

They gave some nice names on their list, Coast and Cove are a bit crazy and Cohen odd, unless it's a family surname I suppose (it's a very common Jewish surname, don't think I've ever heard it as a first name)

mathanxiety · 10/12/2025 01:52

I would only give serious consideration to Rufus, Felix, Kit, and Jude from the list.

Not keen at all on the rest.

Suggestions:
Ivo
Oscar
Tobias
Conrad
Clement
Barnaby
Dominic
