As it’s now June, we can say our baby is due next month. Not having an idea of names is really stressing me out - we already have a Brodie so would like something that sounds good together (I quite like the ie/y ending but doesn’t have to be). We’re both teachers in the UK so nothing too common. Some ideas of names we like but aren’t going to use are
1. Corey (was set on this but now found out it’s slang for penis)
2. Casey (love this but I feel like I don’t pronounce my S’s subtly enough, I feel like a snake although others say they don’t notice it, I do)
3. Riley (new child at my partners school)
4. Laurie (short for Lawrence, my favourite name but partner hates. He can’t unhear the vehicle)
5. Rory (my cousin just had a baby boy and named him Rory)
6. Preston (same as Casey with pronouncing the S’s)
7. Deacon (partner “doesn’t hate it but doesn’t love it”
8. Brooklyn (I refer to Brodie as “B” a lot - could be confusing)
9. Bentley (same as Brooklyn, “B” could get confusing)
10. Arlo (we were between Brodie and Arlo for our first born but swayed away from Arlo since. Still like (not love) it but brother in law is adamant we can’t use it as he wants it for when he has children.
Please, please give me suggestions of similar names but that aren’t toooo common in UK (no Ollie, Freddie etc etc)

We had Cole on our list, not sure what you think of that! Good luck with your search! I love Rowan.

We have a Wesley! Not super common in the UK and we haven’t met another child named Wesley yet

Leo??
