Boy Name Help?

[wibblywobbly]

Well, we were wrong (again), found out today that baby is a boy! So we need help with name ideas. We had a girl name picked out but can't decide on a boys name. We have a list, could the almighty naming gurus give us your opinion, advice, and suggestions please?

Here's our current list:
Oliver
Owen
Henry
Andrew
Eli
Gideon
Liam
Finn
Ezra
Harrison
Luke

I'd love your keep/toss suggestions, favorites, more suggestions, and possible FN/MN combinations please.

[Widget123]

Oliver- toss
Owen- keep, but popular
Henry- keep, but popular
Andrew- keep
Eli- toss
Gideon- keep, but NMS
Liam- toss, popular
Finn- toss, bored of "Finn" names
Ezra- keep, but NMS
Harrison- toss, don't like LN as a FN
Luke- prefer Lucas as FN and Luke as NN, but popular

Suggesting:
Thaddeus
Simon
Malcolm
Timothy
Calvin
Sebastian
Felix
Julian
Graham
Jude
Rhys

Thanks! This helps.

We don't want another S name, DD is Sophie. And we don't want an M name because they unfortunately don't go with our M last name. So, bummer, that rules out a lot of names we do like (Sebastian, Simon, Miles, Merrick).

You have a great list, so I'm going to be picky

Oliver - toss
Owen - keep
Henry - I love it, it's my son's name. But FYI it's becoming really popular (#29 in 2015)
Andrew - keep
Eli - toss
Gideon - Keep! Use!
Liam - toss
Finn - toss
Ezra - toss
Harrison - keep
Luke - toss

ADD
August
Grayson

[helenahhandbasket]

From your list I would personally use
Andrew
Henry
Harrison

I like your entire list as a whole, if I had to toss a few I'd toss Liam and Finn

Suggesting
Miles
Quinn
Vincent
Garrett
Marcus
Bennett
Adam
Nathan
Peter
Evan

[cabbagecabbage]

keepers:

Henry- so crazy popular for babies though
Andrew
Eli- I like more name
Ezra
Luke- popular as well

I'd probably pick Ezra or Andrew depending on how classic you want to go.

Suggestions:

Ian
Ewan
Paul
Seth

You have a great list.


Oliver -- keep
Owen -- keep
Henry -- keep
Andrew -- keep
Eli -- keep, I like it on it's own or as a nn for Elijah
Gideon -- toss, nms and reminds me of hotel bibles
Liam -- keep
Finn -- keep
Ezra -- keep
Harrison -- toss, nms
Luke -- keep

I'm not going to offer additional suggestions because your list is pretty solid. Oliver, Henry, Eli, Liam, and Ezra are my favorites.

[bromios]

This is a solid list, but the only name I love on it is Ezra. I would suggest:

Elisha (instead of Eli)

Ewan (instead of Owen)

Willem (with Liam as a nn)

Luca (instead of Luke)

Finnian or Finnegan (with Finn as a nn)

Arthur

Anders (instead of Andrew, also because you could still use Andy as a nn but nobody would call him Drew)

Conall

Carlisle

David

Evander

Elliot

Edmund

Graeme

Harlan

Isaac

Jonathan

Lorcan

Leo

Niall

Peter

Ronan

Thayer

Edited to remove S and M names

[Stormtroopooper]

Oliver - keep, but getting popular
Owen - prefer Eoin or Ewan
Henry - keep, but again popular
Andrew - prefer Anders
Eli - I really dislike Eli. Elias is fabulous. Also like the suggestion of Elisha.
Gideon - keep
Liam - toss, way too popular & nms
Finn - prefer as nn to something more formal
Ezra - keep
Harrison - keep. This is my son's name
Luke - prefer Lucas or Lucius

suggestions:
Alexander
Charles/Charlie
Cian
Cillian
Eric/Erik
Frederick
Ian
Jasper
Lawrence/Laurence
Ryan

Thanks so much everyone!

We've added Ian and Ben to the list and taken Gideon, Finn, and Harrison off.

One day we'll figure out this kid's name, hopefully!

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

Oliver-Toss.
Owen- Toss
Henry- Keep.
Andrew- Toss.
Eli- Toss. Add Elias and/or Elisha.
Gideon- Keep.
Liam- Toss.
Finn- Keep.
Ezra- Keep.
Harrison- Toss.
Luke- Toss. Add Luca.

There were no bad names on this list. I was picky with the keeps because you need to narrow it down. Ezra Gideon would be beyond fantastic.

Damn, posted before reading the rest of the thread and saw Gideon is out. My favorite combo then would be Ezra Ian.

Do you like Jake?

[wibblywobbly]

bearfootz I like Jake but our neighbor has a 3 year old named Jake and that would be odd to me. We also like Jack but I know 2 little boys named Jack.
