Need boy names that start with "F"

DMD1029 · March 2012

We're trying to name LO#2 after a family member whose name started with F and while we **may** have a girl's name, I cannot find a single boy's name that I like. (No offense to the Freds and Franks out there, but those names just don't really fit for us.) Anyone have any ideas? I should add the caveat that there are some Irish names out there I kind of like (like Finn), but we're Jewish and so my DH isn't going for it.

I would have said Finn! See I like "Fred" if it were Frederick and he was called Freddy. I can't think of anything else!

F names are hard. I was going to suggest Finnigan till I read you whole post. My other suggestion is Francis. I know you don't like Frank but you can call him Francis or Fran (not that Fran is the best nickname). Only other names I can think of are Forrest or Felix

I like Foster.

There's also Francis, Falk, or Fuller

What about Franklin as opposed to Frank?

Right now besides that and Finn all I can think of is Fransisco...

Oh wait now that I think about it there is also :

Felix

Francis

Ferdinand

Fernando

Wow so NOT Jewish LOL

What about a last name as a first name, like Ford?

Forest

fletcher

Ford

Forbes

Fisher

Frey

I like Foster, too. Flynn, Forrest/Forrester, Fabian, Ford, Faulkner... F is tough. But the F names I like the most are more "last name" types of names. If that makes any sense.

Felix would be my top pick and I love the meaning too. It means happy and prosperous.

WHat about

Fenton, Felton,

Fritz?

Fabio is alway san option too;)

Just an aside that you can us the "F" with his Hebrew name to name him after someone if you cannot come up with a "F" first name. But I like Foster the best.

We're in the exact same boat. My grandmother's name was Frances.

I don't like Fred or Frank either, so my short list is Fisher, Foster, Felix, Forest/Forrest, or Frasier. This is one of the reasons I'm really hoping for a girl. The way things work though, I know it's going to be a boy! And since I've thought about it my girl names are Frances (DH doesn't like it), Francine, Francie, Farah, and Felicia.

Thought of another one, Felipe. Still not Jewish though...

Ferris?

alchris · March 2012

Finley?

Fenton? Felton?

Thought of another

Farnsworth BUT you can call him "Worth" for short.

Jenny952 · March 2012

Foster

Fisher

Felix

Florian

Could you use Ph- instead of F? You could do Phinneaus (which I think is Hebrew in origin) or Philip.

Forrest...It's my dh's name:)

Funny thing....kind of sad for my poor brain... When I read this I was trying to think of F names, did not even think of my DHs name until I saw somebody post it Stick out tongue Embarrassed
