Anyone else utterly sick of thinking of names for their LO??!! Its all I can think about!!

We're expecting our third son in 12 weeks and I feel like I've heard EVERY sodding name on the planet! ... And I don't like any of them.

We've obviously used our 4 fave names already, with first and second names and the well has run dry.

Might just run a competition on MN. Or get my ds's to choose... They like Gary and Dude Fire Rock.

Ok rant over Grin

Same here, due first DD in 5 days and have no idea what her name will be, our 'short lits' changes almost daily and usually has about 10 names on it. It's so frustrating! Naming DS was easy for some reason.

What are your other kids names, maybe we can help you out. Please dont call him gary!

Maybe you could use one of the middle names you have already used or something that is similar.

I know what you mean about baby names I am a little frustrated aswell but yours is a nightmare situ. It doesnt help putting stuff up on MN and having it shot down! lol.

How about getting the baby name book and opening at a page and the first name you see thats it. Or go on that baby name predictor, cant remember the web address, had some fun on that with my friend last year when she couldnt think of a baby name.

Thanks for the offers of help ladies Smile

OK, his brothers are called Finlay Elliott (gets called Fin) and Isaac Scott (Ike)

Think the main problem is that I know so many kids with nice names and want something different...

My brother has a Noah and a Finn and I think they sound so nice together.

I also find it easier to name boys than girls, my four favourite names are Ivo, Abel, Otis and Andreas. Feel free to take any of them, our third is going to be a girl;-)

Best to think of a name that can be shortened as dont want him feeling left out if his bro's have nn's.
