UK Boy Names

Pendleton

And if it's triplets: Pembroke, Pendleton, and Penley. 

Penley

Perkin sounds a bit Hobbit-ish as a full name, but it might make a good honor name or nickname for a boy called Peter.

Perkin

Palin, as in, yes, one-time VP candidate Sarah, has emerged as a hot new first name, usually for girls.

Palin

Phelps

Possible middle name to honor an ancestral Philip. 

Phipps

One surname name unlikely to cross over to first. 

Pickford

Piper's rising popularity for girls makes it an unlikely masculine choice.

Piper

A name you would probably want to use only if it's in your family history.  The first syllable moves it miles away from the softer Whitney.


Pitney

Despite two distinguished surname-bearers -- the great British statesman William Pitt and actor Brad -- this would be a tough name to pull off in first place. William Thackeray used it for two generations of baronets in his novel Vanity Fair, the Sir Pitt Crawleys.

Pitt

Pollard

This is an English surname dating back to 1086, but we don't see it having much of a first name future in the twenty-first century.

Pomeroy

There are two lovely Portlands, in Maine and Oregon, but not many babies with their name. 

Portland

Could join such up-and-comers as Miller and Gardener, though the "potty" and Harry Potter associations are strong and potentially unappealing these days.

Potter

Perhaps if there's a Putnam in your background. 

Putnam

One of the more imposing and intriguing of the combo names. 

Quantavius

Heard in a sixties spy movie, The Quiller Memorandum, this uncommon occupational name has an offbeat charm.

Quiller

Clint with a glint; used for flinty characters in old TV westerns and soap operas. 

Quint

Only if you don't mind hearing yourself saying, "Come quickly, Quixley." 

Quixley
