Boys names ending in 'er'

DP and I have decided to start TTC #2 when he eventually gets home but that's a whole other thread! We will be recycling the girls name we had chosen had DS been born DD - Charli Ivy! We had great difficulty agreeing on boys name but eventually decided on Cooper Axl suits him to a tee! Anywho to the problem at hand - we like the idea of having another boys name ending in 'er' - IMO they are strong sounding - but not much springs to mind except Baxter and Archer (i love both) We know there are plenty more 'er' ending names and out there but we're both stuck. I only have access to BB via my mobile phone so I can't even do a search :( I know how clever and resourceful you ladies are so can you please lend a hand... Should add i'm partial to 6 letter names, double syllabic - DP thinks that's just bizarre but each their own!

Off the top of my head...

Hunter
Conner
Asher

I will be back if I think of some more.

I loke Hunter ;).

Xavier?




Sorry I'm not much help.

Just had a quick squiz through my baby name book I carry in my handbag... yeah I know I am sad! :redface: I tried to list ones that weren't listed but haven't refreshed so may have some duplicates - some don't match your criteria either

Aylmer
Casper
Chandler
Christopher
Ebenezer
Fletcher
Gunther
Homer
Lester
Peter
Roger
Sylvester
Warner
Xavier

Ok that is all I found in my scan of the book

Dexter? Sorry, that's all I can think of that hasn't already been mentioned.

Asher
Tanner
Hunter
Archer
Spencer
Rykker
Jenner

Thanks for the suggestions! We have a couple of 'ers' in the family already so that rules out Peter, Jasper, Xavier. Close friends have a Miller, a Hunter and an Asher so they are gone too. Then there's all the 'unforgettable' kids i've taught so scratch Oliver, Tyler, Ryder, Rider, Zander and Conner! My ex's surname was Spencer, not going there either! Casper = ghost (and rhymes with Jasper) Homer = doh (so not a simpsons fan) HOWEVER i do love Dexter, Parker and Harper! Hmmm notice that they are all 6 letters long, coincidence? I'm sooo stuck in my ways LOL Jenner i like but wouldn't want people thinking he's a she! Oh I thought of one myself to, Carter! My short list is looking much better, thanks again! Just gotta make a baby now ;)

tk 1999 i envy you for being able to fit a book in your handbag, mine is so full of junk there'd be no way in world i could fit an extra bobbypin in let alone a book ;)

LOL I am usually the same... but it is only a small book - and it stays in my maternity envelope where I keep all the things related to my current pg. If I am at an appointment and get a bit bored I just whip out the book and start having a read through - still a long long long way off having anything on a short list though

There is a gorgeous boy in my DD's playgroup named Tanner ;)

I like Alexander :D

That's a good idea and you're one step ahead of my being pregnant and all :) guess i'm just getting carried away with the idea of TTC and also hope to avoid the name sharing showdown DP and I had last time around! Smiles4 u i like the sound of Tanner but i'm a Tania and get Tanner (or there abouts) from my much younger cousins!

I have had the book for sometime but only started carrying it with me full time once I got my BFP. All the best for your TTC journey.

Most of our shortlist had anmes ending in ER which we decided did not go so well with our surname..... so feel free to steal one of the following from our list.


Archer
Carter
Cooper
Hunter
Tanner
Jasper
Harper

My faves would have to be Hunter, Jasepr, River (diff i kno) and then there is xavier but i changed the spelling when i named my son to Zayvier good luck on choosing a name its one of the hardest things in the world!!

I like Parker! Although it might be seen as a girls name (more in USA).

Here are some more, sorry if they have already been mentioned.

Archer
Baxter
Booker
Carter
Chester
Dexter
Fletcher
Foster
Fraser
Hunter
Hooper
Reeder
Sawyer
Spencer
Tucker
Turner

I just had to jump in here, I have a Cooper too and also a Parker, am pregnant with number 3 (don't know the sex) and Harper and Dexter are my top picks right now.

I find it interesting when people have the same name children (we both have Coopers) and seeing what they call their next one. Looks like our tastes are very similar!
