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


OP. Nope, we are very white! Typical, middle class family. Names I like that have been suggested:
Paul: But, I know my ex named his son Paul. We still have a few common Facebook friends although he lives far away and I haven't talked to him in 10 years. Is that weird that we'd chose the same name?
Walker: Not bad. Too trendy?
Cole: Not terrible

I don't hate Charlie but would never do it because there are SO many girl Charlies on the playground.


Walker is damn cool, as is Cole. I've never met as Noah or a Matthew who was a jerk. Paul is a lovely, lovely name. So's Thomas.

Have you asked your son? Try it and see what he responds to. Why not?

OP I felt the same way throughout my pregnancy with my second son. I guess I was in a disagreeable state.

The day after his birth, my husband brought the name list to the hospital, and we immediately agreed on one.

A month or two later I thought of about three other names I liked, which I'm sure were mentioned at the time. Again, I blame it on pregnancy related state of mind.

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.


Yeah, this. It is "trendy" as a girls name but still "classic" as a boys name. It isn't equivalent to Lindsay or another male name that is now almost exclusively female.
