Hello, so I've still got a little way to go yet but I was convinced I was having a girl, but in my scan it was abundantly clear it would be a boy.

I do not have a clue what to call it, and would like opinions?

So far

James
Nicholas
Lucian/Lucien
Theodore
Joshua

er.. but I don't actually love any of them. DH says Nicholas sounds like 'knickerless'?!

His favourite is James but it reminds me of 'jamon' and although I like it, I don't love it.

Help!!!

iMum you're right, sounds bad, though I am now actually warming to the idea of a little boy, instead of being horrified at the prospect! Was unprepared for the news but yeah, not bad.

re names I have less idea than ever! So many suggestions thank you all, I shall go away and come up with final shortlist and ask what you think of it.

Don't know what I'd call it without help!! grin thank you!

I've got

Tristan
Ewan
Jonathan (who's middle name is Francis which I wish I'd used as his first name and called him Frankie)

I have an adopted son who's name is completely off the wall - Quayone (kee-own) but I didn't get any choice in that one (obviously) it came with him

James is nice, and universally popular.

Thanks for suggestions! I think Laurie may be confused with Lorry so it's Nicholas or James, or something shiny and new that I will love...??

seeker that's hilarious! The sonographer said '95 percent boy' in a side-on shot but didn't get another view despite trying for a long time...

Ah well he will be a boy in girls clothes for a while! I was so sure of girlyness! Poor kid!! grin

I vote for James altho i am head over heels in love with Hugh Laurie...i prefer Hugh or Huey to Laurie...I have a James and he is gorgeous. In fact every James i have ever known has been gorgeous. However i must confess that our james is more commonly known as Bob....

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
