different...but not ridiculous boys' names?

[motherbeyond]

title says it all really.i've picked my girls name,but we just cannot agree on a boys.

austin
hugo
paddy
quinn (love this but already have a fin!)
milo (not sure though)
oisin

are some of the ones bandied about,but dh says no to them all.
we've got a few weeks left before dc3 arrives,and i'm worried i'll be pressured into picking a name i don't love because i ran out of time !help....please!

[hellokitty123]

All lovely names.

I particularly like Quinn, Hugo and Austin.

[lljkk]

Cole, Harvey, Tristan, Timothy, Nigel.
John, Ralph, Miko.

Tell us what names your DH proposes so we can figure out where your tastes converge.

[seeker]

Patrick shortened to Paddy. That gives you options when you're fed up of people saying, as if they are the first one ever to say it "Oooh look, Paddy's having a paddy!"

Sorted.

[ceb80]

Have met a Milo and a Hugo recently, love Quinn but could be confusing with Fin as you say. Know a Patrick called Paddy, very sweet for a little boy. Not much help though as your DH says no though!

[Pasiphae]

Shame about those names, they are some gorgeous ones there.

Some more ideas:
Rafferty, Orson, Matteo, Matthias, Silas, Fergus, Soren, Zephyr, Amos, Miles, Calvin, Joachim, Quentin?

[Cortina]

Hmmm, how about:

Raphael (Raph etc for short)
Ralph
Otto (heard a few, suddenly recently)
Lucius (too out there)? HP? I quite like.
Barney (Barnaby/Barnabas).
Hamish
Dexter
Dorian
Wilfred (Will)
Arthur
Johnny
Marcus - VERY under used and quite lovely!

[GladioliBuckets]

Ooh Soren, nice.
Marius
Magnus
Rudi
Gibson

[pippylongstockings]

I LOVE Orson - I know a boy called this and it is just fab!

hmmm :
Felix
Woodrow
Fergus
Ralph
Stanley
Ferris

[Prinpo]

Love Magnus/Marcus type names. Also, love Hugo - good name for a little one and a grown man.

Also like:

Rowan, Gilbert, Ira and Saul.

[pogleswife]

Guthrie
Edgar

Leonard ( nn Leo or Lenny )

[rachel234]

Love Quinn (Quentin on bc), Hugo, Austin, Orson and Marcus.

[jellybeans]

[diddl]

Like Milo & Hugo.
Also like Arlo & Jethro.

[ShadeofViolet]

Love Quinn - but not with Fin
Milo is lovely, as is Orson.

[Eglu]

Love Austin and Milo. I know a very cute Austin

[Maggie00]

Diarmuid! Especially as you already have a Finn. (Fionn and Diarmuid folklore names)

[Maggie00]

ps I agree about Marcus. Great name and very underused. I keep suggesting it to people though!

[mathanxiety]

Austin -- FAB name
Hugo -- great
Paddy -- FAB, with Patrick, Padraic or Padraig on the birth cert
Quinn -- not with Fin
Milo -- A bit predictable with older bro Finn
Oisin -- entering the land of wind and ghosts with Finn and Oisin.

Austin and Paddy are the two I would go for, with Hugo nice also. Another few you might like:
Jonah
Jonas
Joseph
Josiah
Isaac
Marek
Tobias/ Toby

[BrigitBigKnickers]

Zachary (Zach forshort)
Rory
Levi
Leon
Frederic (Freddie is sweet)
Francis (Frankie)

[motherbeyond]

there are some lovely names there..but dh would say no to them all.
i also liked xavier,lorien,zander..but he said they were effeminate!
he is irish and suggested oisin,but i'm not taken with that..it doesn't sound nice with my accent (slightly scouse!)sounds lovely and lilty with dh's..but i would have to say it occasionally so that's a no.think he'd prefer an irich/celtic name though.

it's difficult with the irish names.was trawling a website last night and imo loads sound really,erm, chavvy or over used ie kian,ronan,caolan etc then there are the (imo) dogs name...reilly,murphy etc

i quite liked rohan, but again he said no way.

aaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!all i want is a slightly unusual name so they don't have to be in a class (like i was) with 4 kids with the same name!

[paulaplumpbottom]

What about Troy?

[motherbeyond]

mmm,not to my taste really.prefer something lighter

[MamaLazarou]

I third Marcus - a great, strong-sounding name.

Quinn is lovely, but looks and sounds too much like Quim.

How about Clay or Wolfgang?

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Cameron
Fergus
Angus
Lorcan
Laurence/Laurie
Lachlan
Tristan
Brodie

[motherbeyond]

went to school with a marcus,not fussed on that one.my brother said that about quim....it wouldn't have even entered my head,you filthy pair!
wolfgang?!i think if he said no to hugo,he would think me insane if i suggested that!

i think brodie might be entering into the chav arena?
quite like cameron but dh doesn't.
dh has an old uncle fergus.
not loving the rest...but thanks for suggestions
