In the under 5 set, I know 3 little girls named Charlotte, nn Charlie. I know zero little boys named that.

I know and have seen exactly what you're talking about, but I think OP could name her kid Charles and call him Charlie and the world could follow along just fine.

I agree if you like Luke, use it. It fits all of your criteria.

I think Adam fits your criteria.

Charlie is a girl's name now?

Timothy?

Not op- i like some of the namesalready suggested. I'm ethnic, so wonder if you are too and would be opento nsmes from that culture. Otherwise here are more not necessarily ethnic names that I think dound stong but not trendy (i think-- I agree w mother of two girls above, as I am one too!) thinking of names of kids i knew who were cool and whose names maybe seemed to help or reflected that cool.


Victor - Vic for nn
Oscar
Marcus
Wayne
Nathan - Nate
Louis - i think Louie or Lou is cute
Curtis or Kurt
Paul
Travis

Nathan? Evan?

Names Not Allowed (already used in family)
Andrew
Michael
Benjamin
Brian
Ryan
Alexander


Names I'm just not crazy about...
Noah
Daniel
Aaron
David
Matthew
Ethan
Owen

Names I could possibly be convinced of:
Carter
Tucker
Luke


If you like Luke, what about Lucas, Caleb, Logan, Cole, Jacob, or Seth?

Curtis
Kirk
Walker
Brady
Brendan
Jacob
Declan
Gavin
Ryan

I don't know, but I agree that naming our son was harder than our girls.

I have a girl, and am pregnant with a boy, and it's WAY harder to name him! This is why everyone chooses the same damn names for boys. I think with girls people go with a much wider variation. They aren't afraid to give their girls names that might trend a bit masculine (see: stealing boys names like Dylan and Elliott) whereas no one wants to give their little boy a name that's too feminine.

OP, what about some old people names? Something like Walter or Arthur or Freddie?

Luke is a nice name, not too trendy or boring.

Carter and Tucker are both kind of trendy though. I would group them with Aiden and Jackson, tbh.

Joel

Elijah
Isaiah
Aaron
