Awww we just called our baby boy Robin George! He was born on the 9th of July. George is my dad’s name. We chose Robin because my Granny passed away just before I found out I was pregnant & I love the saying, “Robin’s appear when loved ones are near”. I also loved Winnie the Pooh as a child - Christopher Robin and this lovely quote by him - “If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you” I love that even though my granny never got to meet Robin, she had an influence on his name :)
Great list! My SO is named Julian. Haven't met too many other guys with the same name. Just wanted to add in case someone likes the name Dominic but it comes off too strong, there is also Dominico which is a variation of the name. I think adding that O ending makes it a bit softer. Also gives you the option to make Nico a nickname if you're not fond of Dom.
I have just named my baby boy Stirling Jay. I love the longer name with a short middle name combo, you can never go wrong! Loving all the names on this list
We chose Emmett for our boy born in 2020! A classic name but not very common today.. Unlike the similar name Wyatt which is super popular again here in Canada.
@@chelseac.3749 If you love it, go for it! It's a great name and one I considered until I heard it out loud said with my last name. Too many Wa sounds there lol
@@amberwagner6577 oh I definitely could never be turned off from it! It goes great with my bf's last name so I love it even more these days. Just hope he doesn't have to have a few in his class 🤞
I love Robin it was on our list, Felix I’m surprised is so low I thought that was a popular name now, I also love Barnaby and it sounds so lovely with Finn ☺️
I love this list but we’re having a girl, could you do a girl version please! Some boy names we considered that I think fit this list are Milo, Asher, Laurence and Micha
What a happy surprise to hear our son’s name on your list😄 we are due next month and He will be named Julien Adrien the French version of Julian Adrian that you had on the list. We already have a daughter named Genevieve Amelie. Hope you and the family have a very lovely holiday 🙏🏼
My son's name is Edmund. It appears to be both classic and rare 226 on the UK charts. Want an Ed but Edward seems over used. Edmund or Edmond is an option
I find it amazing that so many of these ARE popular in the US but not in the UK. I have a brother named Joel, a brother named Seth, a nephew Dominic, a daughter-in-law, aunt & boss named Jamie (not just that spelling) & know six Owens under the age of 20. I have 11 Timothys in my friend group between work, church & extra curricular clubs. All but 3 of the names (Barbary, Alfred,& Felix) I know someone under the age of 20 by the name. It’s like we’re opposites! Our top 3 boys still have Oliver and Noah, though! US rankings for last year that equal the ranking SJ gave = 84 Carson 88 Dominic 97 Jace 104 Weston 111 Braden 120 Giovanni 122 Aiden 136 Ashton 143 Calvin 147 Max 153 Ivan 163 Luka 234 Bryce 240 Nash 246 Jax 253 Omar 268 Tobias 336 Sean
My last name is Jones but i think of jasper the old guy with a beard from the simpsons when i hear jasper. Lol too many weekends watching the simpsons as a kid
I love that both my name, Adrian (but I’m female lol), and my brother’s name, Julian, are on this list! My parents were cool namers and didn’t even know it 😁
(I’m not pregnant by the way just planning names for my future kids lol). I love Barnaby but I can’t imagine a man being named it. Is it too childish sounding for a grown man? Like at a job interview “Hi I’m Barnaby” would it sound weird?
I think Barnaby works really well for a grown man! 😂 He could use Barney as a nickname and I know a few men with that name. At the end of the day I think that people associate names with people they know so if he was named Barnaby, people would just associate the name with whatever age he was. I don’t know if that makes sense hahaha (also I literally watch every one of SJs vids and I’m not pregnant either 😅
I love Jasper most! Honorable mentioned to Felix and Owen! We are using Solomon for our little boys middle name, which I definitely have heard around the block, but not a ton!
@@kayleighshultz7711 I know the actual meaning, the Arabic version is Sulaiman, but I still think about lions when I hear it in English, maybe it's a movie or a book that caused this image in my head? Anyway, may your baby and you be healthy 💙💙
@@whatamiedid4014 I read this comment and immediately knew the writer was American too 😂 the names listed are lovely too but I wouldn’t consider them classic over here.
Hey SJ! Love your videos - frequent commenter on YT & IG 🤍 Can't wait for the podcast to get going again! When shall we expect the next ep? Need my baby name fix! 😂
I know a lot of Italian-American Dominics! In my experience it is a fairly common name among older millennials from New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Feels very specific to me: they are usually very friendly and family-oriented guys, perhaps a touch anxious.
I absolutely LOVE Joel! ❤️It has been waiting on top of my list for ages and I'm so afraid it will start trending before I actually have a baby (as already happened with Leo, Oliver and Elias 😅)
Hi SJ! I’d love if you did name videos with two and three syllable names! It might just have to be your favorites or unique ones. I have two girls that have three syllable first names and I’m finding that three syllable boy names are more difficult to come by and would love some help! 😊
I just had my baby boy on the 13th of August & we went with the name Silas Leo 🌟💚 I didn’t know this before, but Silas is actually an old classic name. It sounds so modern to me though. I’ve always loved it!! We were going back & fourth between Silas Leo & Oscar Forest (nickname Ozzy). Still love Oscar/Ozzy so much though & it’s staying on my list if I potentially had another boy 😍
Hey sj!! You have inspired me so much! You’ve actually mentioned quite a few of my comments in some of your videos and I freak out every time! I have over 100 names on a spreadsheet (many that have come from you) and have even thought of starting my own TH-cam channel or blog, but am nervous about how my peers will view it since I am only 21 and not looking to get pregnant anytime soon. Just hoping to get some advice!
@@leximounic3764 Its oddly trendy to be borderline anti children these days. You are not the problem if you enjoy children and things relating to kids.
So in love with this list! I'm a sucker for these classic/vintage names, especially for boys because they sound so romantic and sweet. My favourite ones from this list are definitely Dominic, Vincent, Jasper, Victor, Miles, Owen and Felix! I'd add Benjamin, Henry, Louis and George. ❤️
I’ve gotten into tennis now and there’s so many handsome names! Some of them have names from your list There’s a Dominic, a Felix, a Casper There’s a Sebastian and he goes by Sebi which I think it’s so cute, a Frances and a Ugo *without H* There’s a bunch of female players with cute names too there Coco, Naomi, Nina, Elina, Aryna, Anastasia
Timothy (my dads name) is our middle name choice for a boy. Arden Timothy ❤️ currently in my two week wait so we’ll see soon if we can take our name choices seriously or not 🤞🏼
Personally, I'm not a big fan of Wolf. in school when he learns his animals I think it will be weird. However, if you really really love it you should do it!
Love your baby name lists SJ - obsessed! You've done some great ones for Irish and Scottish names - could you do more country of origin names, like Wales?
Nathaniel, Arthur and Robin are three of my top favorite boys names right now. I have such a soft spot for noble old fashioned names and names based off of literary figures!! Plus Robin is a great way to honor my dad without going full on Robert lol
I have 5 older brothers and I feel like all of their names fit this theme as well, they are Brandon, Jared, Colin, Dominic and Tristan. Sad part is I like all those names a lot but I can’t use them for my own kids! Also my younger sister is named Holland and I think that name should get some more love!
Love these names! My brother in law is called Dominic and my brother is called Robin! Currently pregnant with twins and hoping we have at least one boy as we have quite a few unique boy names! Xx
I wonder if the reason Nathan, Dominic, Jamie, Owen and Rhys/ Reece aren't that common now (in the UK at least) is because they were all in the top 100 20, 30 or 40 years ago, therefore dad names more than son names. I'm in my mid/late twenties and growing up I knew about half a dozen Jamies' (all boys), a handful of Nathans', ditto for Rhys/ Reece (again all boys) and an Owen (also possibly a Dominic but I'm not 100% sure)
My grandsons are Adrian and Victor. Adrian’s mother is Peruvian and they call him Adri sounds like “ahh” and dree rhymes with tree. He’s a teenager now and been a saint his entire life. Victor is a toddler and we call him Vic and he’s a little ruffian with a sense of humor and drama.
This is the perfect list of names that people know, might have known someone in their past with the name etc, but none are obnoxious or overwhelmingly ‘brave’, definitely that sweet spot! 🥰🥰
Yes! you can really use anything as long as it fits your child’s personality, for example: my name is Bethany but my nickname is Betty! my parents didn’t want a Beth
My son is Dominik with a K Croatian spelling. I think Dominic and Patrick would be great sibling names. Also Vincent 😍😁😁 we just had a baby boy that would have been Vincent but we decided on Michael 😍😍
I like so many of these! I think I like Nathaniel more than Nathan. I attended a school connected with St Dominic, don't think I could use it :-) I almost prefer Padraic to Patrick. I love the name Owen, it appears back in my family tree as a given & family name but but we already have an Owen currently in my family. Vincent used to be my absolute fav boy name :-) Miles has the same feel as James to me, classic but beautiful. relatively
This is my kind of list SJ - all [ mostly ] names I really like. I can't get onboard with Jamie. This is cute for a baby but not so cute on an older male. I much prefer James.
i have an everly, willow and harper (willow and harper are twins) and i’m pregnant again with a little boy! i had so many other names in my head that i was afraid that people would judge, so this time i’m thinking of going with a name that i truly love! so moral of the story is go with the name that you love, don’t worry about others opinions because you will regret it later!!!
As someone who has one of the most common names maybe ever, I still love my name so much. I should also say that it’s always a nice thing to find out someone has the same name as you!
We were messing around with our last pregnancy for names, and we have a few DC character names so far, so we were throwing name like Bruce, Wayne, and hubby jokingly said Alfred... And we both stopped dead in our tracks and realized we both kinda liked the name! We sadly lost the baby, but it's still on my list now
My brother's name is Felix and he loves it bc it is so unique and not a lot of people named Felix. He is also always very lucky so the name has blessed him haha.
Love these, especially Nathan and Jamie. Struggling to name my 2nd boy (almost 4 weeks old!!), we cant agree on a name. My fave is Ryan Ari and my hub likes Leyton Leo but I feel it doesn't suit baby. Our 1st is Aiden Orion. Help very much welcomed from SJ/viewers!! :)
I like Dominic and Seth, I agree with Timothy being underused but I wonder if Timothee Chalamet will help with its resurgence. As a Julianna I always find it funny but I’ve never loved the name Julian, maybe because it sounds incomplete but you made me appreciate it more with Jude.
Happy baby name Monday!! SJ, what do you think about the name Ilene as an alternative to Eileen? It's pronounced the same way; I've been considering it as a way to honor my grandmother since I'm not sure about the traditional spelling of Eileen.
I was talking to someone in a name group the other day who has a name that her parents modified to start with I her name Ilaina she said her whole life people have said her name wrong because they read the I as another L. Just something to think about ☺️ One of my close friends is an Eileen it’s a lovely name ❤️
You could go for something with a similar meaning to Eileen (bright, shining one) so Alina or Aurora maybe, or something with a similar sound to Eileen e.g. Isla or Lena?
Great list SJ! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Seth Felix Julian Jasper Owen Also love Jamie but to me I see it more as a girl name ! Patrick I like too but I think id use it as a middle spot to honour my late grandma Patricia
Jasper! I was rooting for Jasper, so when it was first on the list, I cheered and scared the cat! lol I had a professor named Jasper Rose. Wow. The colors. One of the most beautiful boys names ever.
Probably smart of Henrik to veto Barnaby as a first name, it means "child village" in Swedish, would have been a bit strange haha. But it's so cute in English and works great as a middle name! :)
Yay a new video! 🎉 Yay a new video! 🎉 I love Robin, and I'm honestly surprised that Vincent isn't more popular. Also loving Felix, Alfred, Adrian, Barnaby, and Julian. Some other names that dot the bill for me are Edgar, Lucian, Virgil, Quincy, and Morgan.
I'm looking for a boy name for our second child. I'm finding it really hard to pick names we both like! My husband has Scottish heritage and would like a rare but lovely, traditional Scottish name. Our first son is Alasdair, and he really suits his name! I did like a lot of the names on this list though.
I'm not an expert so I don't know if any of these are "rare" 🙈 but thought I'd suggest them anyway! Ossian Thorfinn Colvin Teigue Corbin Torion Leathan Donovan Findlay Cillian/Killian Buchanan Calahan Finian Gallagher Quillan Riordan
Help! I'm due on Sunday with a boy. I love Jude. My partner thinks its posh (it isn't). Surname is Nelson which means all the 'surname names' like Harrison that I love just don't match its just too many Ns. He can't come up with any suggestions so maybe when he sees me go through birth he'll say yes to Jude 😂 any alternatives??
@@theklaa4457 I like classic old man names and ones that he won't have too many people in his class with the same name. But I dont like super rare made up names. My partner likes plain names but they're too common for me. Length wise I dont have a preference. I just struggle to match a name to Nelson
Congratulations ☺️ Hmmm Julian, Jace, & Jonah sound similar but, if you want to go for a different sounding name with a similar feel, you may want to consider names like Cade, Drake, Ezra, Miles, Levi, Silas, Reid, Troy, Pax, Hugo, or Kai.
@@katieoconnor6211 how about jules Nelson, its similar to jude? Alvin/ Calvin Nelson, Emri/ Emerik, Gabriel/Gabe, Acher, Atticus/Aurelius/ Amadeus, Phoenix, Forrest, Hugo, Lonens, Oakley, Sawyer
I need help. I'm due in December with my second boy. No idea what to name him. All our names are 3 syllables long so I was thinking about sticking to that so everything flows. Our first baby boy's name is Gregory. Our current short list is: Edison (my husband's favorite so far) Finnegan Emeric Julian Devereux Oleander Ainsley Remington (my husband's second favorite, I like the nickname Remmy) Anyone know any other 3 syllable boy names that flow/theme with Gregory?
@@ca147 like how she does in the video @10:15 :) “Reece” is another popular spelling, or “Reese”with an S is popular for girls (and for peanut butter cups lol). However, “Rhys” is the traditional welsh spelling.
i also *really* like the name auden. which i took inspo from benedict cumberbatch's son, hal auden. but you can also base it from the famous poet, w.h. auden.
Love it when sj laughs in the videos and is happy ,im a name buff , sj always picks all the best names for the videos, goodluck and all the best to her
My bf is Patrick and my best friends fiance is Jamie haha. I'm not sure exactly where these names rank in the UK or U.S. (where I am), but I don't hear them super often and they sound fairly timeless to me..Franklin, Edward, Mark, Simon, Gregory, Derrick, Paul, Peter, Clayton, Donald, Jeffrey, Landon.
I need a Welsh baby name list. So stuck for ideas that aren't ridiculously common or overused. I have checked but I don't think you've done one before, I can find everything but Welsh 🤣 please help SJ. P.s. love all your baby name videos ❤️
1. I feel like Jasper suffered from the twilight era- like I loved Edward but since twilight it’s all I can associate it with and I hate it :| 2. I love Nathaniel and somehow Nathan/Nate feels like an Abbreviation. 3. Patrick, Dominick (about a trillion different spellings), Vincent (or the polish influence here: Wincent), Adrian, Julian are super common in Germany- everyone knows one. Andreas as well- we had 5 at our wedding. Would you consider Andreas the sort of name that would fit this list? I’m always fascinated by how countries so close together can have such completely different name varieties. Moved from the uk to Germany as a kid so I sometimes think if those names are common here my family back home must know them too and then they just stare at me like I’m crazy. And vice Versa really- no one, not a single soul I’ve met in Germany can pronounce “phoebe” correctly just from looking at the written name despite everyone knowing friends. So weird.
In America, many of these names are much higher. Owen, for instance, is very popular here. I have a friend with an Owen and Nathan! Joel is also fairly high here (my brother is also Joel!). My son is named Reeves but often gets mistaken for Rhys/Reece.
I love this list!! Looking for names for baby number 2, and as always having more trouble with the boys names. I really like Dominic, but that’s my husband’s boss’s name, so it would be a bit awkward 😂

Victor is so tragically underused, I love it.

Love these names! My brother in law is called Dominic and my brother is called Robin! Currently pregnant with twins and hoping we have at least one boy as we have quite a few unique boy names! Xx
I wonder if the reason Nathan, Dominic, Jamie, Owen and Rhys/ Reece aren't that common now (in the UK at least) is because they were all in the top 100 20, 30 or 40 years ago, therefore dad names more than son names. I'm in my mid/late twenties and growing up I knew about half a dozen Jamies' (all boys), a handful of Nathans', ditto for Rhys/ Reece (again all boys) and an Owen (also possibly a Dominic but I'm not 100% sure)
I love this list!! Adrian and Julian are literally at the top of my baby name list and I’ve actually added a few more from watching this 😂
My grandsons are Adrian and Victor. Adrian’s mother is Peruvian and they call him Adri sounds like “ahh” and dree rhymes with tree. He’s a teenager now and been a saint his entire life. Victor is a toddler and we call him Vic and he’s a little ruffian with a sense of humor and drama.
@@celesterosales8976 aw such a great mix of names!
Richard, Malcolm, David, John, Phillip, Walter, Hansford all strong names
This is the perfect list of names that people know, might have known someone in their past with the name etc, but none are obnoxious or overwhelmingly ‘brave’, definitely that sweet spot! 🥰🥰
Just had a random thought could Monty be a out of the box nickname for Timothy?
Yes! you can really use anything as long as it fits your child’s personality, for example: my name is Bethany but my nickname is Betty! my parents didn’t want a Beth
My son is Dominik with a K Croatian spelling.
I think Dominic and Patrick would be great sibling names. Also Vincent 😍😁😁 we just had a baby boy that would have been Vincent but we decided on Michael 😍😍
My partner is Julian and I think it’s so beautiful I’m looking forward to a julian junior!
I like so many of these!
I think I like Nathaniel more than Nathan. I attended a school connected with St Dominic, don't think I could use it :-)
I almost prefer Padraic to Patrick. I love the name Owen, it appears back in my family tree as a given & family name but but we already have an Owen currently in my family. Vincent used to be my absolute fav boy name :-) Miles has the same feel as James to me, classic but beautiful. relatively
This is my kind of list SJ - all [ mostly ] names I really like. I can't get onboard with Jamie. This is cute for a baby but not so cute on
an older male. I much prefer James.
i have an everly, willow and harper (willow and harper are twins) and i’m pregnant again with a little boy! i had so many other names in my head that i was afraid that people would judge, so this time i’m thinking of going with a name that i truly love! so moral of the story is go with the name that you love, don’t worry about others opinions because you will regret it later!!!
James and Thomas are my fave classic boy names (:
Miles and Julian are great too but SUPER popular where I live xx
Owen and Jasper are definitely my favourites on this list and in general! Adrian, Rhys and Julian deserve more love.
I love Alfred and would love it for my son due in December - but it's the number 1 name for boys in Denmark in 2020!! 🥺
As someone who has one of the most common names maybe ever, I still love my name so much. I should also say that it’s always a nice thing to find out someone has the same name as you!
My name is Alfred and my birth month is December… go for it! 😀
We were messing around with our last pregnancy for names, and we have a few DC character names so far, so we were throwing name like Bruce, Wayne, and hubby jokingly said Alfred... And we both stopped dead in our tracks and realized we both kinda liked the name! We sadly lost the baby, but it's still on my list now
My favourite boy name at the top of my list is classy yet distinctive. Absolutely love the name Raleigh. ❤️
How would you pronounce Raleigh?
Rah-lay
Joel is my secret favourite name! I wanna call my future boy that name! 🥰💙
My friends just named their baby girl Jasper after the flower 😊
I love Jasper for a girl!
My brother's name is Felix and he loves it bc it is so unique and not a lot of people named Felix. He is also always very lucky so the name has blessed him haha.
Love these, especially Nathan and Jamie. Struggling to name my 2nd boy (almost 4 weeks old!!), we cant agree on a name. My fave is Ryan Ari and my hub likes Leyton Leo but I feel it doesn't suit baby. Our 1st is Aiden Orion. Help very much welcomed from SJ/viewers!! :)
I met a Dom before and he was a dancer. Not only was he super cool but he was actually so genuinely nice!! I love that name solely because of him 😂
I like Dominic and Seth, I agree with Timothy being underused but I wonder if Timothee Chalamet will help with its resurgence. As a Julianna I always find it funny but I’ve never loved the name Julian, maybe because it sounds incomplete but you made me appreciate it more with Jude.
I love Dominic, Jude, and Timothy.
I love your top SJ. Please can you tell me where it’s from?
Happy baby name Monday!! SJ, what do you think about the name Ilene as an alternative to Eileen? It's pronounced the same way; I've been considering it as a way to honor my grandmother since I'm not sure about the traditional spelling of Eileen.
I love it, but almost wanted to pronounce it as [ih-len-ah]. Perhaps that's just a mainland European thing though 🤔
Ilene is lovely! I think the pronunciation of Ilene is more intuitive than Eileen and I think it's more atheistically pleasing than Eileen.
I was talking to someone in a name group the other day who has a name that her parents modified to start with I her name Ilaina she said her whole life people have said her name wrong because they read the I as another L. Just something to think about ☺️
One of my close friends is an Eileen it’s a lovely name ❤️
You could go for something with a similar meaning to Eileen (bright, shining one) so Alina or Aurora maybe, or something with a similar sound to Eileen e.g. Isla or Lena?
My sons name is Dominic 😍 & he was born on a Sunday
Great list SJ!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Seth
Felix
Julian
Jasper
Owen
Also love Jamie but to me I see it more as a girl name ! Patrick I like too but I think id use it as a middle spot to honour my late grandma Patricia
Jasper! I was rooting for Jasper, so when it was first on the list, I cheered and scared the cat! lol I had a professor named Jasper Rose. Wow. The colors. One of the most beautiful boys names ever.
Love this! My brothers name is Seth (we’re American) and everyone loves his name.
Probably smart of Henrik to veto Barnaby as a first name, it means "child village" in Swedish, would have been a bit strange haha. But it's so cute in English and works great as a middle name! :)
Jasper and Owen have my heart but Sidney is my all time favourite alongside Francis ❤️
Yay a new video! 🎉
Yay a new video! 🎉
I love Robin, and I'm honestly surprised that Vincent isn't more popular. Also loving Felix, Alfred, Adrian, Barnaby, and Julian.
Some other names that dot the bill for me are Edgar, Lucian, Virgil, Quincy, and Morgan.
My partner is Nathan and his older brother is Owen 😂
I had a friend growing up called "Elahni" i thought this was a super cute rare girl name!!
I'm expecting Cohen, our 5th boy, in September. We have boy names from super tradional (Joseph) to super unique (Titan).
Are you Jewish? Cohen is a very Jewish surname, so it would be weird to use the name if you’re not Jewish.
@@nataliemayo5410 Nope. We just like the name.
We have a Jasper!!
what is the meaning of the name Geovan
I feel like no one talks about Bruce but I love it
List of cool Bruces:
Lee
Banner
Wayne
Springsteen
I mean, they're bound to be a right legend
@@bellaboopixi What about Jenner?
@@maryowings5755 LMAO zing. Blocked that one out. But I guess s/he's still a legend 🤷♀️
I'm looking for a boy name for our second child. I'm finding it really hard to pick names we both like! My husband has Scottish heritage and would like a rare but lovely, traditional Scottish name. Our first son is Alasdair, and he really suits his name! I did like a lot of the names on this list though.
I'm not an expert so I don't know if any of these are "rare" 🙈 but thought I'd suggest them anyway!
Ossian
Thorfinn
Colvin
Teigue
Corbin
Torion
Leathan
Donovan
Findlay
Cillian/Killian
Buchanan
Calahan
Finian
Gallagher
Quillan
Riordan
How about Ruairidh, Harris, Logan, Hamish?
I have a son named Barnaby ❤
Help! I'm due on Sunday with a boy. I love Jude. My partner thinks its posh (it isn't). Surname is Nelson which means all the 'surname names' like Harrison that I love just don't match its just too many Ns. He can't come up with any suggestions so maybe when he sees me go through birth he'll say yes to Jude 😂 any alternatives??
What kind if names do you/ your partner like? Like classic, unique, short, long etc?
@@theklaa4457 I like classic old man names and ones that he won't have too many people in his class with the same name. But I dont like super rare made up names. My partner likes plain names but they're too common for me. Length wise I dont have a preference. I just struggle to match a name to Nelson
Congratulations ☺️ Hmmm Julian, Jace, & Jonah sound similar but, if you want to go for a different sounding name with a similar feel, you may want to consider names like Cade, Drake, Ezra, Miles, Levi, Silas, Reid, Troy, Pax, Hugo, or Kai.
@@katieoconnor6211 how about jules Nelson, its similar to jude? Alvin/ Calvin Nelson,
Emri/ Emerik, Gabriel/Gabe, Acher, Atticus/Aurelius/ Amadeus, Phoenix, Forrest, Hugo, Lonens, Oakley, Sawyer
Most of the names on this list are worth considering.
I need help. I'm due in December with my second boy. No idea what to name him.
All our names are 3 syllables long so I was thinking about sticking to that so everything flows. Our first baby boy's name is Gregory.
Our current short list is:
Edison (my husband's favorite so far)
Finnegan
Emeric
Julian
Devereux
Oleander
Ainsley
Remington (my husband's second favorite, I like the nickname Remmy)
Anyone know any other 3 syllable boy names that flow/theme with Gregory?
My brother's name is Rhys and he's gotten compliments on his name all his life!!
How do you pronounce Rhys?
@@ca147 like how she does in the video @10:15 :) “Reece” is another popular spelling, or “Reese”with an S is popular for girls (and for peanut butter cups lol). However, “Rhys” is the traditional welsh spelling.
Ooh these are my vibe.
i also *really* like the name auden. which i took inspo from benedict cumberbatch's son, hal auden. but you can also base it from the famous poet, w.h. auden.
Love it when sj laughs in the videos and is happy ,im a name buff , sj always picks all the best names for the videos, goodluck and all the best to her
I'm building my list for my 2nd and I love felix. I also have a Vincent 😂
My bf is Patrick and my best friends fiance is Jamie haha. I'm not sure exactly where these names rank in the UK or U.S. (where I am), but I don't hear them super often and they sound fairly timeless to me..Franklin, Edward, Mark, Simon, Gregory, Derrick, Paul, Peter, Clayton, Donald, Jeffrey, Landon.
I have a Seth!!!!!
Thankyou for putting my middle name Jamie on this list was shocked and excited when you said you liked the name Jamie thanks so much
My baby boy's an alfred 🥰
I need a Welsh baby name list. So stuck for ideas that aren't ridiculously common or overused. I have checked but I don't think you've done one before, I can find everything but Welsh 🤣 please help SJ.
P.s. love all your baby name videos ❤️
1. I feel like Jasper suffered from the twilight era- like I loved Edward but since twilight it’s all I can associate it with and I hate it :|
2. I love Nathaniel and somehow Nathan/Nate feels like an Abbreviation.
3. Patrick, Dominick (about a trillion different spellings), Vincent (or the polish influence here: Wincent), Adrian, Julian are super common in Germany- everyone knows one. Andreas as well- we had 5 at our wedding. Would you consider Andreas the sort of name that would fit this list? I’m always fascinated by how countries so close together can have such completely different name varieties. Moved from the uk to Germany as a kid so I sometimes think if those names are common here my family back home must know them too and then they just stare at me like I’m crazy. And vice Versa really- no one, not a single soul I’ve met in Germany can pronounce “phoebe” correctly just from looking at the written name despite everyone knowing friends. So weird.
In America, many of these names are much higher. Owen, for instance, is very popular here. I have a friend with an Owen and Nathan! Joel is also fairly high here (my brother is also Joel!). My son is named Reeves but often gets mistaken for Rhys/Reece.
I love this list!! Looking for names for baby number 2, and as always having more trouble with the boys names. I really like Dominic, but that’s my husband’s boss’s name, so it would be a bit awkward 😂
I don't want kids but my number 1 boy name pick has always been Julian with the nickname Jude.
I’m thinking if we are having a boy naming him Shia. Shia Labeaof maybe problematic but I love his name and the meaning of it too.
Also, I met a girl at school called Dominica (I'm pretty sure that's the spelling, can't quite remember) she's not from here (> 🏴) though
