I'm rubbish with boys' names

[Jolleigh]

I'm only 10 weeks gone so plenty of time yet...

I've thought of loads of girl names I just click with but after hours and hours and hours of searching, every single boy name I either hate or neither like or dislike. This is not going to be ideal if it turns out I'm carrying a little boy!

I wouldn't want anything too common but I'd also not want it to be really outlandish.

Help! (pretty please)

[Confitdecanard]

I'm the same - boys are hard to name. Some from my list that might fit your criteria are:

Dominic
Rowan
Isaac
Felix
Dexter
Oscar
Miles
Rory

Any good?

[Jolleigh]

We have Dominic in my ok-ish list. The rest I would really hate to call my own child...despite loving the names for other people's children!

I loved Bruce up until I told my brother and he shouted "Nice to see you, to see you..." and now I think of Bruce Forcyth whenever I think of the name lol.

Sebastian is nice but I've only known Sebastians with really snobby mummies (though I'm sure there are lovely Sebastian mummies out there! )

I'm utterly hopeless!

[Jolleigh]

I like Ernest but keep thinking of sesame street

I did actually like Dexter for a while until I thought about Dexter's Lab the cartoon!

[WinkyWinkola]

Theodore (Teddy nn)
Barnaby
George
Tobias
Solomon
Marcus
Frederick

[Jolleigh]

Winky...we're along the right tracks with Theodore, but I'd hate it shortened to Theo...much prefer Teddy but Theo is more common I think and will more likely be used when the baby has grown.

Do I just think too much into this? ?

[BeCool]

Felix & Ruben

[Jolleigh]

Mermaid - really sorry but it falls into my hate hat...it's an American slang term for being sick and reminds me of the simple kid from the Simpsons lol.

[Jolleigh]

Not for me BeCool...no strong feelings for or against really I'm just not too keen.

[WinkyWinkola]

Wrt Theodore, to some extent you can say how you want your ds to be known. Bit then he will have his own preferences.

Magnus ?

[BlueStarsAtNight]

How about some 80's revival names:

Philip
Peter
Simon
Matthew
Christopher
Adrian
Robert

[cafecito]

Nicholas

[cafecito]

Nicholas is just about perfect. Nick nn. Translates well internationally in every language. Not too common. Solid adult name cute baby name could be Nicky or Nico.

[cafecito]

Lucas Henry Joshua Jacob Mateo Alexander William are others I like

[Mumblyboo]

Oooh Robert and Nicholas are nice!!!! Nico is fab!!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Like Ernest. Sorry, but Bruce is awful.

Bram/Abraham
Jeremy/Jem
Laurence
Vincent
Frederick
Bartholomew/Barty
Barnaby or Barnabas
Jude
Hector
Matthias

[Jolleigh]

Haha, yep everyone seems to hate Bruce

[Sonkey]

I don't like Bruce and think that is the same kind of name as Eric, so you might like Eric.

[Jolleigh]

I do actually quite like Eric couldn't picture giving that name to a baby though.
