Our Dd is Imogen and I'm looking for ideas on a boys name- so far my list is Max or Daniel... I don't like anything that ends in an 'a' sound e.g. Noah as it doesn't go with the surname and nothing starting with a T. Likely middle name is Anthony or Michael.I'd love any suggestions!TIA

I think Daniel Anthony would be a lovely choice. Others: Raphael Anthony Joshua Michael Alexander Michael Lucas Anthony Matthew Anthony Gabriel Anthony Frederick Michael Dominic Michael Benedict Michael (NN Benno)

Max, Jack, Sam & such have been done to death in recent years. So that would rule them out for me. Daniel is nice though. Daniel John Daniel James

'sup y'all...(:P)
i like Max Michael Lastname. imogen and max. max and imogen... sorry op not much help, am i! i found boys names really hard. i dont mind alex but would alexander be too much of an 'ah' sound on the end? ( lets face it, in aus, most people would probably say it like alexand'uh', as opposed to alexand-er, wouldn't they?)

I have a Daniel Arthur and I contemplated Imogen for our youngest DD I really like Daniel as a name. We have come across very few around DS' age (9yo) and being such a classic name, it is never mispronounced, has a couple of nice nicknames and it goes with so many lovely middle names. Daniel Anthony is lovely. However, nearly ever Daniel I have met has been full of mischief and a "runner" as a toddler. I actually really enjoy my DS' mischevious side. He is a real sweetheart with a sense of adventure - a very loving and gentle boy. This post has been edited by ~ky~: 27/12/2012, 03:33 AM

Biased because I have a Daniel. I think it is a great name, classic but not overdone and suits all ages from baby to senior. My Daniel has always been Daniel, not Dan or Danny.
