I am due a baby boy in 2 days. My shortlist is

Rafferty (but don’t like how it’ll be shortened)
Remy
Jesse

but I’m really open to suggestions. Please help as I’m stuck on a name!

I only like Remy out of the 3.
(riff-raff, big jessie).

How about Hugo, Arlo, Ezra, Zac or Eben.

Bellybellas · 02/03/2026 10:40

I like Rémy best.

How about Luca & Quinn?

GoldenRosebee · 02/03/2026 10:57

I like Rafferty and Remy

Sparklinggreen · 02/03/2026 11:14

Remy is best from these

Or how about
Sebastian
Hugo
Marco
Simon
Mateo
Theo

Depends on combination with surname as well

I like Rafferty. Wouldn't it be shortened to Rafe which I think is also nice?

Zayd?

Osca. /Oscar?

Silverbirchleaf · 02/03/2026 12:21

Oliver was my first though.

LemonadeQueen · 02/03/2026 12:23

Another vote for Oscar

AgentPidge · 02/03/2026 12:26

I really like Jesse. To me it says a wise man with a strong character (because I had an Uncle Jesse like that).

Jude

DizziLizzy · 02/03/2026 13:05

Remy/Remi is becoming quite popular now. I know more girl remys though. Nothing wrong with the name.

Other suggestions-

Saxon
Jude
Eli

If you're wanting similar vibes, I think Remy suits Luca best. Rafferty is an Irish surname, so that gives me completely different vibes to the Italian feeling Luca.

Just my personal taste, but I'm not a fan of Jesse. What about Jude as an alternative? I know of brothers Luca and Jude - I think those names really suit one another.

Fbfbfvfvv · 03/03/2026 10:36

I’m not a massive fan of the names on your list. The names I would put with it are

Sebastian
Tristan
Reuben

sesquipedalian · 03/03/2026 10:41

As Luca is an Italian name, why not give his brother a similar name - Enzo, Leo, Rocco, Marco.

luckylavender · 03/03/2026 10:58
