Names..... for boys ....... opinions on these please

We dont LOVE any of these in fact we are not overly keen on any of them but with 3 boys already that we struggled to pick names for we are completely stuck !!
We like short names that cant really be shortened so so far we have :

James ( Hubbys name and dh dads name .... family tradition )
Joel ( James, Owen, Ellis, Liam ..... all in age order spells Joel ) only reason for this name is the meaning !
Leo ( Liam, Ellis and Owen ) u get the gist !!
Dylan
Ryan
Jack
Elliott

Surname is Grant


Opinions welcomed.

I love love love the name Joel but not so sure it goes well with your surname. Id probably go with ryan or Dylan since all your other kids start with different letters iykwim? x

I love James. Second choice would be Elliot!

Oh my gosh your so close!! How are you feeling? Do you have a girls name?

I quite like Dylan and Ryan (neither of which my DH likes). My DH middle name is James (so thinking maybe Jamie as a potential boy name).

Deleted

I have Bill, Jack and Guy

I like Joel...

I like Ryan or Dylan with your last name.

We also had Joey- joe on the list

I adore the name James, it sounds terrible with our last name and is also the name of a horrible person LOL so I could never use it. I think eveyrone should name their baby James! :)

Sweet baby James :wink: lol!! It's ds2's middle name & he was kind of named for James Taylor as he was born to one of his songs.

I love Elliot, but agree it's very similar to Ellis. Joel is nice though :)

I like Ryan & jack.
What about Tyler?

If it helps my sons names are Evan, Maddox Killian, Jack, and Roarke James.

I know it's not on your list but I Love the name Seth! We have very similar sounding boy names and Seth would go well with yours too. My boys are Ethan, Liam, and Seth and we are very happy with the names because they sound great together!

Sushikitty and thorz awesome boy names. I'm keeping an ear out for a boy's name if this is ds4.

From your list I like Leo and Elliott. The others I'm not too keen on.

We are struggling with boys names too - only one my OH likes is Seth.

My favourites are:
Jasper
Elliott
Emmett
Leo
Luca
Elijah

Our boys are Tristan Alexander & Noah Theodore.

Hihi we had Tristan and Luca as suggestions for our boy that im pregnant with now. We have decided on Noah though:) You have good taste hihi.

Love the logic behind Joel and I think it goes really well with your surname and the other boys' names. My favs at the mo are Jasper, Arthur and Bertie (short for something with "bert" in it). DH likes Jasper too so we might go for that. My mum was pushing Damian, Toby and Sebastian the other day, if you want more ideas. Oh and DH and I love Napoleon but aren't brave enough to go for it!

Love Joe.. its short and friendly

My ds1 is Joseph (joe) so I'm a bit bias also love Noah that's my ds2 ;-)

What about Lucas? I like Liam but feel like maybe you're finding reasons to love it not really loving it?!

Ps I've always thought your gonna need a pinky name anyway - how's that list?

Hmmm girls list is about 50 names long so have opposite problem that we will have to try shorten it to choose one as so many we really like

I really like the name Joel because of the meaning you have behind it :)

I like Joel and James.

Had a syrprise baby shower yesterday and out of 12 people 10 said Joel ...

Oh mum how fun! Not long till your passenger reveals themselves weldone for staying team green a bit jealous!

Joel sounds a good bet have to see what he looks like when he arrives....I'm fairly sure it's a pink pudding thou......so exciting!

Love this thread. Having such a hard time as I am having baby boy #4. Already have a Talon, Henry, and Charlie. We conceived on St. Patty's(too many green beers:)) so was looking for a Irish name that fit but can't find one. Surname Busch. Love the name James, but good friend already used it:) My siblings also have 7 boys total, so lots of names used up. This is going to be hard:)

By the way, I think Joel is a fabulous name for your brood and love the meaning behind it.
