Hello,

Im due a baby boy in a few weeks and I’m really struggling to find a name I love.

On my list is:
Harry
Elias
Vinnie/ Vinny
Cian
Jaxon.

I cannot see myself using any of these names but do like the style of them.

Any suggestions please? X

But they’re all completely different types of name. Cian and Jaxon come from different universes.

Shayisgreat · 13/05/2026 22:08

They're quite different styles to each other!

Names similar in style to some of those names
Liam
Marley
Ronnie

You could have hardly picked a more diverse set of names! What do you see as the unifying style?

Harry and Elias are nice names, commonly used but nothing wrong with them. Jaxon is truly hideous. If you like the sound Jackson is passable but the “x”
spelling just makes it incredibly tacky

I'm wondering the same OP!

Harry: classic, staid and almost over-used.
Elias more niche but relatively zeitgeisty
Cian: Irish
Vinnie: going out on a limb, slightly gangstery
Jaxon: passe yoonique.

I just cannot see a unifying theme ...

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 13/05/2026 22:40

Jaxon isn't a name.

Jaxon isn't a name.

I think it's a yoonique spelling of Jackson.

Looks like klaxon!📯

Harry is a classic, lovely name.

The rest are ridiculous names that you might give a certain type of dog, it is truly hideous to call a human Jaxon.

HugoThatway · 13/05/2026 23:20

Gary, Mark, Howard, Jason, Robert

I agree. The spelling of ‘Jaxon’ makes me cringe down to my toes and I cant help but read it in my head as ‘Jax - on’. It doesn’t flow as ‘Jackson’.

I couldn’t imagine anyone calling their dog Cian 😂

I work in a primary school we only have one Harry. My second son I loved Cian but called him Oliver.

SkaneTos · 14/05/2026 13:36

I voted for Elias.

LoudPlumDog · 14/05/2026 14:57

Very mixed list, no particular style. I love Elias.

Suggestions …

Regan
Jonah
Jeremy
Ashton
Christian
Logan

SerendipityCat · 14/05/2026 15:02

Oh, please choose Jaxon, but make sure you spell it “Jaxxon”. The double x really gives it that extra touch of class. 🙄

midlifeattheoasis · 14/05/2026 15:29

Jaxon is absolutely hideous.

Vinnie just makes me think of vinnie jones - and not in a nice way.

Cian sounds made up.

Harry is probably the best out of those names, but I do prefer Henry

RegalDiamondMonster · 14/05/2026 17:14

Cian - beautiful name. Similar names - Ciaran, Cillian, Conor, Caelan, Aidan, Patrick, Rory, Liam
Harry - fine, very ordinary. Similar names- Oliver, Henry, Charlie, Freddie
Vinnie - not a fan. Similar names - Ronnie, Reggie, Ralphie, Georgie, Alfie, Archie
Jaxon - really not a fan
Elias - following the old testament naming trend. Similar names - Josiah, Elijah, Isaiah, Ezra, Reuben, Jacob, Silas, Simeon, Zachariah, Jeremiah, Gabriel, Raphael, Noah, Isaac

Blingismything · 14/05/2026 17:25

Austin, Hudson, Sonny, Logan, Lorcan

Overtheatlantic · 14/05/2026 17:26

John is due a comeback. And you would be ahead of the curve.

Harmony10 · 17/05/2026 14:32

Jacob? Lucas?

Latinglow · 17/05/2026 14:45

I like harry but prefer Henry. I recently found out harry is actually short for Henry!
I also like Jaxon. I’m also a fan of Jason which feels safer as jaxon feels slightly try hard
