We’re on the quest for the perfect boy name and it’s time to focus on F. The 6th letter of the alphabet certainly brings the goods, whether you’re into popular or peculiar.
Perhaps you’re interested in F because there are Franks or Freds in the family line and you want to pay homage to the letter. Or because you already have a little Freya and you’d like to keep siblings with the same initials.
Whatever your reason, we’re confident you can find the perfect name. With options like Filip, Fox and Flemming there’s sure to be a moniker you haven’t seen before on any of the most popular baby names lists.
We asked our huge online community of half a million mums who shared the baby names that they felt were totally fab.
