Boy’s names - Help Please!

Hey All,

please help me with boy name ideas...

We like names like Samuel, Oliver, Nathan, James, Luke... but nothing really gets full marks from us both.

Baby has an older brother Bradley James (usually just gets called Brad, so we'd like a name that we can shorten).

I like names that aren't too common, but are easy to spell (complex surname).

Any ideas much appreciated

My partner and I couldn’t agree on any boys names but we had a huge list of girls names. My favorite boys name however is Jack.

Brooklyn (Brook for short), Jacob, Jackson (Jack for short), Tommy, Calium, Jessie, Jaye, Tray, Jade

good luck

Elliot, Noah, Elijah, riley, Ryan, Brogan, Jacob, Christian, Flynn, Duncan, Fraser, Jayden, Lachlan, Shae, Cameron, Logan, Kyle, Ewan, Tre', Will, Fergus, Mikara, Hemi, Tama, tamati, Campbell, Brayden...

Whew, from our list of "throw aways"

I love Samuel from your list. I don't know any babies called Samuel ATM and everyone can spell it.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions. I love Samuel too but hubby isn't too keen as our surname starts with an S. Cameron is great too, but baby will have a cousin Cameron!

Ahh, keep them coming I'm getting some great ideas!

I actually think MacGyver is really cool Just think, when our kids are our age none of them will have the faintest idea who he was!

ETA when I was in labour we still hadn't chosen JJ's name, we had it down to 3 names and the other two names were Isaac (we would have called him Zac for short) and Oscar (which we almost used cos he came out so grouchy!). In the end we chose Jeremy because my midwife said that was the only one of our three names she hadn't seen more than one of that year

becsscolly - just an idea/opinion. Both DP and I have a few names chosen out but we won't settle on one until we meet our boy.
We figure we'll take one look at him and just KNOW what name he's supposed to have.
And you may also find that some of the names you have, you're a bit iffy about, but when you meet him and decide which one suits him best, you'll both just click to the name and love it.

Yeah dh & I are sorted for a girl's name, but not for a boy's - I like Jack / Jackson - but Jack has been the most popular name in NZ for the last 4 years & we prefer to be a bit different

Some other names on our list are: Logan, Blake, Jordan, Marcus, Tyrone, Conrad, Devon, Connor, Chase, Mason.

At the moment Dallas is at the top of our list, maybe with Jackson as a second name (so if he finds Dallas too different he can take on Jack quite easily).

Well our two picks are Mackenzie and Phaelan if that helps.

I have noticed a few of the names you have, infact all of thm, are pretty "traditional" names. Have you considered something a bit more "unique" or perhaps trying hybrid names?
I.E, if you like two names, try combining them into one. Like if you like Samuel and Nathan, try Samthan. Or Oliver and Luke could be Lukaver. Ok, sorry not a very good examples but you get the idea.

Oh and yes...I am weird. LOL
