We find out the gender of the baby tomorrow, and we've already decided on a name if it's a girl, but we can't agree on a boy name!

Originally we were going to go with Caleb, but I don't like the nickname Cal :nope: So I'm looking for other options.

What are your favorite boy names?
 
I would have guessed Cay or Cale as a nickname for Caleb?

Other ideas ..

William
Oscar
Theodore
Albert
Sidney
Charles
Edward
Henry

My personal favourites ..

Dylan
Elliott
Max
Ethan

Good luck!
 
I would never think to shorten Caleb to Cal, personally.

Names I like:

Oliver
Oscar
Ezra
Henry
Theodore
Silas
Otto
August
Felix
Jasper
Sebastian
Simon
Malcolm
 
Joseph
Stanley
Matthew
Roland
William
Louis
Eric
Philip
Alfred
Arthur
Seth
James

Emma was going to be Rupert if she was a boy.
 
I don't have any suggestions but just wanted to say my son is called Callum (so close to Caleb) and has never been called Cal by anybody so they may not necessarily use that nickname. If you really love it you should go for it!
 
Some of my favourites are:

James
Jack
Harry
Henry
Alexander
William
George
Edward
Daniel
