This is our first boy and we are finding boys' names impossible. Things are made harder by the fact our DCs also want a say. Here is our short list with my thoughts:
Freddie (Frederick or Wilfred): a family name. DH and the kids like it, I'm worried its a bit comic.
Arthur: DH's fav. The nicknames of Artie and Art make me think of an ageing US door to door salesman. Also worried this is a very 2013 name.
Felix: my fav and the DCs love but DH says its wimpy. He also points out I shorten all names and there is no good nn for Felix.
Max (Maximillian): DCs' fav. I like. DH says its a dig's name.
Sacha (Alexander): I love, DCs cry at the thought as say its too feminine.
Jacob: safe, fine, nobody objects. I'm not terribly keen on Jake though.
