After I posted a list of some of my favourite girls names from Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran’s Nameberry Guide to the Best Names for Girls, a blog reader made the reasonable request that I do the same for the boys names – which I didn’t do the first time.

So here are thirty of my favourite boys names from The Nameberry Guide to the Best Names for Boys. Once again, I have avoided the names already chosen by Brooke at Baby Name Pondering – which caused quite a bit of anguish at times!

• Alaric
• Ambrose
• Balthazar
• Boris
• Conrad
• Crispin
• Django
• Ephraim
• Florian
• Huxley
• Jarvis
• Jethro
• Leopold
• Lysander
• Magnus
• Malachy
• Ocean
• Orion
• Peregrine
• Quincy
• Rio
• Rufus
• Stellan
• Tennyson
• Thaddeus
• Viggo
• Vladimir
• Wolf
• Zebedee
• Zephyr
