Being induced in 2 days......................

LumpyCustard69 · 12/08/2015 18:41

..........................and still have no idea about a name!!!!

It's a boy. I keep on changing my mind, mainly because there are no names I actually LIKE, just a few that I don't mind!!

So, I have,

Joel
Adam
Oscar

I wouldn't even know where to start for a middle name either Sad There are so many names I can't use for various reasons, and so many I dislike.
If I'm honest, I'm now concentrating on stressing about names so that I give myself a break from stressing about being induced!!!

All help/suggestions welcome!

Joel is nice. All 3 are nice actually, but especially Joel. Good luck.

My order of preference is

Adam
Joel
Oscar

Oscar is very "now" and will date.

I'd go with Adam. It suits you throughout your life. And is the least heard of now.
Oscars are everything.
And to me Joel is a naughty boys name, sorry if to any of you who have a Joel,

Adam is my favourite, but I think they're all lovely :)

I have the same problem - I just don't have any strong feelings towards any boys names :/

If I had a boy tomorrow he would be Jonathan, just because that name means so much to me, but honestly even that isn't as 'shiny' as it used to be to me :/

Some other names I've considered closely:
Callum
Hayden
Jeremy
Edward
Elliot
Joseph
Oliver
Rufus
Douglas

My favourite is Oscar although it is very popular now. A few years ago when I was pregnant with DD (before we knew she was DD) this was my number 1 boys name. I'm glad now we didn't get to use it then as there are lots of them around. Although I do still love it! Adam is fine. It does sound a tiny bit dated to me but that's maybe just because all the Adams I know are in their 30s now. I don't like Joel, not 100% sure why but I have the preconception that Joel would be a tear away!

Joel is lovely. Why not have Adam as a middle name?

This morning I'm liking Adam as a first name, and Joel as a middle name maybe..................................I still don't know! I quite like AJ as a nn (no idea why) so works with that too.

There is a slight paternity question (long story that doesn't involve cheating or sleeping with 2 guys just days apart, I have pcos so dates could be out quite a bit Sad ) so I may have to add another relevant middle name or swap it, but for now, I think Adam Joel Smile

Thank you all!! Smile

I like the combination of Adam Joel. Don't like Oscar, and used a lot round here.

I like Adam Joel a lot, and AJ is a great nn! I went to primary school with a lovely AJ. Smile
