What do you think of my list, 2nd boy due!

[elfisheyes]

Our 2nd boy is due in a few weeks and really struggling to settle on a name, and one we agree on!
I love slightly less common names.. Being half Polish I’d also like it to be pronounced easily by my Polish family but doesn’t have to be a direct Polish version name.
Our first son is Zachary (nns Zach/Zachy).
Here’s the list- honest opinions much appreciated! :

Tobias
Elias
Elian
Caspar/Casper
Oskar
Fabian
Leon
Benjamin

Any other ideas also so welcome, thank you x

Antonio
Jakub
Filip

Agree. Casper is a great name, and will go with Zachary. (Cas and Zak sound cool!)

Oskar may be a valid spelling in some countries/cultures, but if you're UK based, he will have a lifetime of people spelling his name as 'Oscar.'

Tobias and Benjamin are nice names too that will go with Zak/Zachary.

.

but if you're UK based, he will have a lifetime of people spelling his name as 'Oscar.'

I have a friend named Ann. She's had a lifetime of telling people it's not spelt Anne. Many bog standard Brit names can be spelled more than one way. Nicola and Nichola, for instance. Or May and Mae.

I like Oskar!

but if you're UK based, he will have a lifetime of people spelling his name as 'Oscar.'
Same for Casper/Caspar/Kasper, and a lot of other names.
If he's only a quarter Polish, Oscar would probably be easier.

I love Elias.

LOL, don't people just love other people telling them that their own name is spelt incorrectly!

I had a friend in the 1990s (at work) called Hellen (Greek grandfather,) and she had a lifetime of people not only spelling it with one L (Helen) but also telling her that she was spelling her OWN NAME incorrectly! LMFAO. The sheer arrogance!

Yes, the name Oskar is quite cool. 😄

Ah so true…

@zov, LOL, don't people just love other people telling them that their own name is spelt incorrectly! , @YouAndMeDays was telling us about her friend.

but also telling her that she was spelling her OWN NAME incorrectly! LMFAO. The sheer arrogance! I get this.

It might be useful to be 'Oscar with a K'. More memorable?

I like them all!

Except Elias and Elian which always sound slithery like an eel to me (though funnily, I do like Alice for a girl - perhaps because I envisage it with the A, so don't get the eely association!)

The others all go well with Zachary I think.

Love Tobias and Benjamin

Tobias or Caspar

Leon

Benjamin is nice, and Ben makes a great diminutive. Or Benji is really cute for a young boy, also Benny possibly. The whole name is a classic, everyone knows it, but a bit more unusual than it was a few decades ago, which would be refreshing.

I also like Elias. They both go well with Zachary (great name!).

Caspar is my favourite, followed by Benjamin.

Oskar
Fabian

I think those 2 are great!

Tobias - lovely
Elias - nice
Elian - never heard of before. Sorry.
Caspar/Casper - nice
Oskar - nice, but will be spelt with ‘C’ in English
Fabian - lovely
Leon - nice
Benjamin - lovely

Suggestions -
Jacob/Jakub
Thomas/Tomas

I have a Casper & we are always complimented on it!

I like Caspar and Oskar

I also know a Casimir. Maximilian. Tomek. Stefan. Oh and love Janus / Janusz especially if born in January.

Tobias- Great name, not keen on Toby though
Elias- Nice name, Eli for short
Eilan- not keen looks feminine
Casper- not keen
Oskar- okay
Fabian- Nice name
Leon- dated, reminds me of a 50 year old
Benjamin- nice, Benji, Ben

Micah, Archer, Elijah, Marcus, Dwayne, Alexander, Hugo, Fredrick, Gideon,

Yeah though there is all that door business ...

Janus / Janusz

Love Tobias (Biased) and have also managed to avoid Toby incase nickname is an issue (when pregnant everybody said he'd automatically become Toby which i wasn't so keen on)

Our second choice was Elias lol and we also had Benjamin on our list (and Zachary). All lovely names

Lovely list! Least fond of Fabien but love the others especially Leon with Zack
