Loren for a boy? Or other Anglican name?

No one here will pronounce RALPH as "RAFE", unless corrected, and then give you a funny look - like.. "okaaay, a bit pretentious".

Most males that have the feminine sounding names to us in the 21st century are older.. Leslie, Robin, Loren, etc.. Today, those are used as girl names.

Some kids can rock Jonas or Imogen, while other kids can't. And you have no way of knowing which type of kid you'll get.

+1 and adulthood.

I happen to like Bram but we are considering naming our little guy Abraham and calling him Bram for short.

How is this Anglican? I'm English and it I met a Loren I would assume they were American.

Archie or Alfie or Albert, good English names.

I like Gareth (makes me think of that funny galavant show that was just on last winter!), and Hugh.

If you're going to buck the "men's names turning into women's names" trend, I really like Carey (like Grant and Elwes).

Fergus I like too, but it really makes me want to say it with a fake Scottish brogue. It also seems like something one would name their Scottish terrier or wolfhound. But I like it, fwiw.

And the only ones I know with that name or variants of it are Jewish.

Do not name your son Loren. How about Lane instead? Teddy ( Theodore) is fine, Gavin, Abraham even ( Bram or Abe) but do not give your son that name.

Yep, and there's Cary Grant, and Carey Hart is pretty badass.

Carey Hart is pretty badass.

I thought he was Corey Hart.

Callum

Alasdair

Duncan

Diarmuid

Angus

Robert

Gregory

I also agree with the suggestion of Hugh

Gregor is the welsh variation of Gregory.

Would never do Teddy as a proper name. As a nickname for Edward, which is a fine English name, sure.

Carey Hart rides motorcycles and drives trucks. He is badass.

Corey Hart wore his sunglasses at night. Whether this makes one badass is debatable.
