    HELP! Need a boy?s name! First and middle!

    Boy's names are so hard! I'm not in love with any at the moment so I need some help!! DP is so difficult and picky so I want to make a shortlist and then he can choose from it.

    Criteria: There's no particular theme so far, but prefer traditional and/or biblical names. Not too common or trendy, yet not so unusual or archaic that it's never heard of. Surname is M.ead - do you think first names beginning with M sound bad? I.e. Mason M.ead...I really like Mason, but it doesn't seem to go all that well with the surname. Also, is it too "trendy"? Any suggestions and opinions are very much appreciated! So far we have:

    L.eon
    Mason
    Cale.b
    Jackson/Jaxon
    Dominic/Domenic
    Kenan


    These names can be used as first or middle names. As I said, I'm not "in love" with any of them but I don't mind them! Help me add to the list! xox

    I'm not a fan of alliteration in names, but I reckon that's personal preference. If you like Mason, there's no reason not to use it! I don't think it's very common?
    Here's some biblical suggestions for you:
    Jonah
    Noah (though this one is getting more popular!)
    Levi (my DH LOVES this one. We're likely to use it if our baby's a boy.)
    Eli or Elijah
    Timothy (one of my faves. I know, it is quite common, but a traditional classic IMO.)
    Samuel
    Jacob
    Isaac (some lovely variations of this one from other languages. I love Isaak, pronounced 'is-ah-c')

    ETA: Sorry for the repeats - I took too long to post!

    well of course I love Tobias, its biblical, not very common & I think it sounds strong aswell as being a little trendy IMO

    If you dont like the name Toby I wouldnt use it though as he will get the nickname "Toby"

    Oooh thanks girls, great suggestions! I'm loving Levi!

    And yep, girls names are so much more easier and prettier! But alas, it's a boy!

    Danielle, Tobias/Toby is such a cute name!! DP's mum actually suggested it not long ago but DP doesn't like it If we have a girl in the future, I am sooo choosing!

    Snacks, I agree, I don't really like the same initials, I just needed someone else to agree with me! So I guess Mason and all other M names are out!

    I also like Ethan and DP likes Charlie!

    Okay, so far I've got:

    Levi
    Charlie
    Ethan
    Leon
    Caleb
    Jackson/Jaxon
    Dominic/Domenic
    Kenan


    Keep em coming!

    Thumbs up

    We had a hard time with boys names too ... infact up until our baby was born we still had no boy's name ... oh, luckily we had a girl and she saved us a huge headache ... So, i truely understand how you feel

    I must say i absolutely love your choice in boy's names

    I especially like Leon, Domenic, Kenan (one of my own choices when preg), and I reckon Mason sounds absolutely fine

    I also like Kyran, Keenan, & Kian ... as you can see i like " K " names

    Levi Charlton Maed!

    Absolutely love it! Sounds like he will be a hottie when he grows up with a name like that!

    What does your DP think?
