Need more boy's names!

[magicalmadmadamim]

Not due until august but having a suprise 4th!
I already have 3 sons, Leo, Dylan, and Max.
Don't know the gender yet but the only other boy's name i love is Flynn. DH is half irish.
Girl's names i like are Saoirse, Penelope, Pearl and Calliope.
I quite like Raffy for a boy but worry it sounds pretentious!

Pearl is fabulous, I love it with your boys names.

I do the Rafe is very pretentious.
Shay is a great name and has an Irish connection.

Enda
Dara
Rian

Laurie/ Laurence it is just a lovely classic name.

Thankyou for all of the suggestions!

Think i will keep Flynn near the top if its another boy!
Love most of the girl's names. there is just so many nice ones to choose from!
I get what people are saying about the names 'going together'.
I prefer short names in general, so i am shortlisting Pearl and a few other 1/2 syllable girl's names :)

I actually have a cousin (once removed) with that name! he has scottish heritage!

Leo never used to be in the top 100 when i used it, he is a teenager now and it was quite uncommon back then!

@magicalmadmadamim , it wasn't a criticism but pointing out that the others weren't top 10 names. It's been quite popular for over 20 years.

We have a family member who was deliberately given an underused but not 'out there' first name. You can guess what happened - the name is a top name now.

Better to be the eldest with the name than to be the one at the tail end.

Rex , Luca , Joseph.

Leo, assuming you are in England or Wales, has been in the top 100 since 2002, so would have been in the top 100 when your teenager was born.

It was #88 in 2002. The current #88 are jointly Nathan and Austin.

Some lovely names. My boy is Elliot. I loved Dexter and Ace as names too but our surname begins with an S and they were too lispy when said as a full name.

Patrick.

Raffy is in no way pretentious. I think it makes a lovely shortening of Raphael/Rafael and I also like the name Rufus

Ralph is a gorgeous name and perfect shortened to Raffy

My daughter is a Marcella (nn Marcie) :) Nice to see it making other people’s lists :D

Sorry I agree with your thought on Raffy. I feel the same with Rafe.

Flynn goes well with the names you have, or Fin, Finlay.

As others have said, I also like Rory to go with the boys you already have.

Your boys names were on our shortlist.

We also had:

Joseph
Nathan
Justin
Marcus
Theo
Aidan / Haydon
Ellis
Rowan
Owen
Isaac
Freddie
Harris / Harrison
Ciaran
Zac
Christian

But surely ‘pretentious’ is a subjective view, and many people regard Raffy as pretentious. Thankfully we all have different tastes!

I don’t find any name as pretentious but I hate Raffy as it sounds like Riff Raff.

Ralph is a gorgeous name- it's not
and perfect shortened to Raffy- only Raffy isn't intuitive or perfect or shorter.
