    Boys names?

    So we are not expecting but when we were preggo with DD, the ONLY name we agreed on for a boy was Oliver. I love it! But my damn brother just called his newbie Oliver (a whoooooole other thread!!)

    So I have already started looking for another boys name!

    What do you think of the following:
    Peyton
    Sebastian / Seb
    Solomon / Solly
    Paxton
    Xander
    Xavier
    Zebediah
    Ashton
    Felix
    Hugo or Hugh

    ????

    What are your favorites from above?

    I love Sebastian. It's on my list, but DH doesn't like it.

    I also like Xander, Ashton and Hugh on your list. Zedekiah is nice too.

    (Please don't shorten Solomon to Solly)

    I have a Jediah and a Manessah (pronounced MAN-ess-AH) - both are old Jewish names, I found Jedidiah on a website but a variation (which we preferred) was Jediah, and my husband grew up with a Manessah in PNG.

    I like Sebastian! My cousin has a Maxwell and a Jasper, both of which I quite like.

    Peyton - I also thought this was a girls name! Parker instead maybe?
    Xander
    Xavier
    Zebediah - I prefer Jebediah. It just looks spelt wrong with a Z....
    Felix - not for me, but I like it!
    Hugo or Hugh

    My 2 cents....

    Peyton - I thought this was a girls name??? It was on my list for DD#2, but for a girl

    My Faves -
    Xander - I like this one!
    Xavier - This has been my most fave boys name sice I was a kid, shame DH doesn't agree!

    Dislike -
    Zebediah - Not a fan

    GL with it all, I know how hard it can be to find that perfect name! I thinks its good you're thinking about it already!

    otherwise Xavier, Sebastian, Paxton.
