ok we have been through the baby names book yet again

dh still stuck on brodie, i do not like it
i like charlie but dh does not like

so far we can both agree on

alex
ashton
dominic

and that's about it but while dh is really keen on dominic i'm just not loving any of them

please help me before i spend the next 15 weeks obsessing about this name lark

we want something that isn't really popular but nothing too odd

I like your choice of Charlie best.

Don't like Dominic or Ashton - Alex is ok but just a bit ordinary

thanks that's what i thought but can;t seem to change dh's mind about charlie at all oh well back to the book

Dominic is good

I couldn't use Alex or Charlie (would have to be Alexander and Charles)

Ashton and Brodie are both too surnamey for me.

Benedict?

not keen on benedict as we would end up shortening it to ben (which i don;t mind but we know about 15 )

i liked bradley but that didn;t go ver well on here at all

Some to think about????

i quite like ayrton (airton) onle ever heard it twice one was a boy i knew of and the other was ayrton senna the racing driver.

i like some of them but i just don;t think that's it thats the name!!

maybe i'm just being too awkward

if he was a girl i could think of loads of names !!

Boys names I like are:-

Lewis (ds)
Rhys
Devon
Noah
Jaden
Owen
Theo
Jude
Seb
Jonah
Dominic
Ethan
Shea/Shay
Riley
Max
Evan
Finn
Ryan
Harvey
Brandon
Zachary/Zach
Matteo
Nico
Reuben

I like Dominic, Adam, Alex, Daniel, Joshua, Jude, Christian, Louis, Joel, Christopher, Andrew, Callum.

Nathan/Nathaniel - shortens to Nate, which I like.

Know what you mean though mustsleep, we're really struggling with names as well

gabriel nn gabe?

nope anything i like dh doesn't

keep the names coming there must be one we both bloody like!!

mustsleep, we are in the same position, as DH has vetoed all the boys names I like and is firmly suggesting Jocelyn (wtf?). Girls no prob - no idea which it is as still early days. I can see us still arguing about it at about 8 1/2 months!

Name I like but DH doesn't, the picky sod:

Gabriel
Gilbert
Victor
Wesley (shortened to Wes)
Alexander
Edgar
Edward
John
David
Maximilian

If your DH likes Dominic, what about Brendan (to go with the Behan theme ?

Patrick I love and think would work well with our surname (DH, as you may have guessed, doesn't)

Charlie, Alex or Dominic

oh and James is a lovely name, but doesn't go with our surname at all (or at least the nickname doesn't) so it out

Sebastian
Hugo
Leon
Asa
Robin
Tyler (Ty)
Harrison

Isambard?

Owen too.

Fraser
Reggie
Max
Jacob
Alfie
Theo
Joe
Miller

Hiya mustsleep

We're a bit stuck for boys too.

We both like George. I like Oscar. Also Theo(dore), Ruben, Ethan, Jacob, Isaac but while we love our girls name we are not totally in love with these.

DH's last suggestions was..... Bruce! Yes he was serious. Don't want to upset any Bruce's out there but I found this very amusing (Forsythe?!). He was thinking Willis. So we will also have Diehard as a middle name.

He also suggested Orson... (Awesome?!).hmm.

I have an Alexander, think you need to use the full name with it really, (not against shortened names, I have a Bobby that isn't robert)

Love Rufus.
