I’m gonna name my first boy Ezekiel, after my husband ❤️, when the time comes.

[@RoseTylerxx]

So glad Tobias was mentioned-I have 2 boy names and Tobias is one of them! And if we do end up using it, we will probably shorten it in daily life as Toby! Tobias Christopher Maurice...Christopher after my Dad and Maurice after my Granddad!

Yes I love E names!! Elleri, Emery, Emberleigh, Easton, and Emerson are some of my favorites!!

Me too, we just called our girl Eloise.

Ezra and Eden ❣

[@billieshort1164]

Baby name Monday is basically my version of doing homework! Absolutely love some of these gems. I have a sneaky suspicion we are having a boy so this video has helped massively. Now just to get dear husband to agree... (Can you play the 'i am carrying the baby for 9 months, I get the final say' card for baby names? Asking for a friend...)

[@SJ_Strum]

Billie Short omg yes 😂 in the middle only I think! I remember being wheeled down the corridor after giving birth to Finn and saying he was finn barnaby and henrik was on cloud 9 😘😘😘

[@itssha4202]

Luv the name Tobias reminds me of the film divergent

[@elisecollette1979]

And the meaning is beautiful plus Toby is a cute nn

[@rebelrose4934]

I love this name! It's actually the main male character in my book I'm writing right now. 😊

A name I came across while looking for my sons name (my first baby, I'm due September) was the name Wexton. I like the Wex, so Wextly was one I considered as well. I think its a cute strong sounding name.

[@hayleymarie8633]

Hilary Duff has a Banks. And Evander is on my list so I hope it doesn’t get too popular.

[@ep8806]

My son is Banks :)

[@ep8806]

He was going to be Rafferty but my SO decided he didn't like it! I still love it

Ahh yes that’s it! Ahh thank you Hayley x

[@hayleymarie8633]

I prefer Banks as a boys name personally.

[@leaosullivan1456]

one of my favorite names i’ve ever heard is from my mom’s daycare she works at one of the little boys is richard the fourth so they call him riv like R + IV (the roman numeral for 4)

[@middleC17]

I'm really advocating for the name Roland. I'm not having children and my sister doesn't want to use it, so I'm hoping someone looking for names will love it!

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah it’s Henrik’s grandads name too! Xxx

[@misslyntheena]

Tobias is so funny to me because in Germany that’s such a common name - almost everyone of my siblings and me had a Tobias in our classes.

[@lindseyjane2644]

I just had a baby boy named Frankie a week ago. I chose it because of the meaning of “free man.” ❤️

[@StarrySkies80]

SJ, you helped me help my friend name her kitten with this video. It's a little gray male. When I suggested the name Remy, she loved it RIGHT AWAY. No hesitation and no second option needed. :)

[@rowdyredigers7265]

Named my baby boy Evander and he will be a year old on the 12th. I LOVE his name so much! 😊 We call him Van as a nickname but his big sister calls him Salamander 😂

[@wildnfearless9840]

Wow, congratulations! I love that name.

[@izzleinatizzle]

I would love to see a list of names inspired by revolution and times of change, given everything going on in the world currently. I think that would be a grat way to use your platform!

[@mirandawhite7495]

My son's name is Shepherd also! My husband loves name meanings and he loved that is meant leader. But we get so many compliments on it.

Boys: Miller Gray, Levi Coast, Calihan Miller, Manila Scout
I’m obsessed with these unique, coastal/boho names. Love your Channel 💗

[@Liliaburdett]

I LOVE Oslo for a boy the nickname Ozzy? So cute!!

[@SJ_Strum]

Lilia Burdett so cute Lilia! X

[@christinaodou9587]

could you do a baby name video of nautical/ocean names! ps. love the baby names in this video❤️

[@ctk14]

Soren is such a interesting name. It sounds so gentle and soft yet I'm pretty sure it means stern/severe/strict.

[@bennet8388]

Emrys will always make me think of Merlin, though I think both it and Merlin itself are nice names - I've watched Merlin since I it aired so I'll always love it. Gideon always makes me think Of Hetty Feather, which for me is a nice vibe I think, and Malachy reminds me of the Hollyoaks character (who I did love). Also I was never really bothered about Wilbur until a film I watched recently (which is now a joint favourite for me) had a main character called Wilbur. I really can't stop thinking about it now
Edit: Castiel is my favourite Cas- name. I think it's a very good mix of vibes, though would be linked with the popular Supernatural character. Wouldn't bother me but worth noting

[@SJ_Strum]

Ianto M Ahhh I SO miss watching hollyoaks!! Pre kids 😂😫😍😍

[@rebecca8836]

Ah I loved Merlin and I read Hetty Feather so many times as a child! It’s why I love the name Ida:)

[@bennet8388]

@@rebecca8836 Ida's such a pretty name! I also love Hetty

[@bennet8388]

@@SJ_Strum At some point I'm gonna change my name and recently I've been loving Brendan. The trouble is I can't tell if it's just because of the HO character as I've spent most of lockdown watching his clips! x

[@vileris]

A boy name I love that's similar to Evander is Lysander and I'm obsessed with it

[@hannahroseloftus97]

Some of my personal favourites that I’d consider are Zephyr, River, Zekke, Kade, Fox, Wilde (mainly as a middle name), Zen, Taj, Saxon ☺️

[@beckettfitz1982]

Brooks reminds me of the preppy clothing brand Brooks Brothers.
Evander is still Evander Holyfield to me
His fight with Mike Tyson where Mike bit his ear off is still legendary!

[@dammyjodger1]

Absolutely love Ezekiel and Malakai ❤

[@victoriaramage1867]

I love these two but prefer Malachi spelling wise : )

[@laisbondar3106]

A Netflix inspired baby name list would be so cool

[@chiarac.36]

My 18 months old is called Luca, we're Italians so it's a quite common name for us. But I always loved how sweet and soft it sounds while also being short and with a beautiful meaning :)

[@vanessambruce]

We went with Oslo for our son, who was just born May 22 ❤️
A little sad that it's not so under the radar now though.

[@rokyo8669]

Some of my fav names in your list, but I keep coming back to Hubert, I’m in love with the meaning 💗

[@jessicagoing1570]

Brooks is a fave of mine. Reminds me of like a 1950s Ivy leaguer with one of those fancy school cardigans or something.

[@bethanyfarrington]

There are so many cool baby names- a lot of which are set by youtubers! Family Fizz have a Koa, the Norris Nuts all have very unique names and Alex Centomo just had a baby named Arkham. How cool!

[@mlfs87]

Ludo has been on my list for a while! It will definitely be on our list next time we get pregnant, and I think it goes really well with our daughters name, Judith. Judith & Ludo, cute!

[@verity1072]

Just want to say thank you for keeping this up! I have been watching you since the beginning even before I was TTC. I am now month 8 of TTC and no luck! But love watching these as you always come up with such unique names and I love having a unusual name so want my children to experience a life of having a unusual name! Haha! Thank you for always being upbeat it’s helped me. x

I love the name Gideon, it’s got the perfect Victorian feel to it which is very popular at the moment 💙

[@alenajingle]

I have a friend with a Tobias Kade, nickname Ti (Ty). Tobias is a lot less popular in the states!
I know a million and a half Romans! I have a first cousin with a son named Roman Joseph.
I like Otis, my husband LOVES Otis!
Micah is headed quick toward the top 100 over here! I have a friend with a one year old named Micah Wade, another friend with a 9 y/o named Micah Kurt, and another from MARRIED to a Micah (he's in his mid-20s).
Luca, Luke, and Lucas are all top 100 over here!
Evander's a fave of mine and one I'd use in a heartbeat if my husband liked it!
Ezekiel's quite popular over here (top 100) but it's so gorgeous. Love it for a middle name.
Boaz is one I've seen talked about a lot in baby name communities for years, but it's never been a top 1000 name over here!
Finnian is gorgeous and handsome, it makes me think of a knight!
I have a first cousin in his mid-20s named Clayton Thomas, and I have friends with a 3 y/o named Jedidiah Clayton.
Atlas Shrugged

Favs at the moment. I have always loved the name Tobias or any name with an -ias ending for ex.: Elias. Also loving the name Elliott/Elliot (it was my grandma's maiden name). Tadeáš is cute and a commonly used name in my country (Czech Republic) and a few other European countries I'd say, Thaddeus in English (or Thady, Taddeo). And there are so many more :D Thank you for another lovely name list!
