help with boys names

[shan23]

DP & I cannot agree on any names! If bubby was a girl we'd have a name instantly lol. But no, boys names had to be the ones we dont agree on

Everything I like, DP hates. And vice versa. I like the more unusual names that arent very popular, but DP likes more common names. I wrote out a list of 22 names and told DP to cross out the ones he didnt like. He left one

We have a small list so far of ones we both like (and me compromising hugely on the popularity aspect lol):
Samuel
Issac
Xavier
Zavier
Benjamin

Issac & Samuel are still a bit ~iffy~ and may come off. We both LOVE Xavier, despite its popularity now, but DP's friends 5yo is Xavier :/ So he's a bit hesitant to use it. That when Zavier came out, as a variation. But we still aren't sure on it.
I'm loving Benjamin atm, DP likes it and seems to be growing more fond of it.

So thats why I come to you lovely ladies! Throw me out some common and not so common names, nothings to unusual! I doubt DP will go for an unusual name, but its worth a try ..... again

We found boys names hard too. In the we both did our own shortlists, then combined them. Then we both ranked the names. In the end we chose a name that was a late comer to the list. For us, we nees to meet baby first to see which name suits them.

You seem to favour biblical names Some options:
Zachary
Jake
James
Oscar
Gideon
Jeremy
Paul
Peter
Michael
Jonothan / jonathan
Joshua
Noah
Jonah
Leroy
Jethro
Toby
Josiah
Samuel
Charles / charlie

We took inspiration from tv shows

Dominic
Christian

DP likes Johnny, Sonny and Jackson, but I'm not so sure...

It sounds promising that you are both liking Benjamin. Some of my random, off the top of my head suggestions:

Jeremy
Morgan
Bailey
Kyran

Angus
Luka
Asher
Hamish
Torren

If it helps at all we had no boys name right until i went into labour as DP & i too couldn't agree ... only thing we could agree on was what intial the name would start with so maybe that could be a start for you both (??)
