except for Rufus, which is my ds's name. Here's hoping this baby is a girl!

What boys' names do you like?

Cherry... Posy is a lovely name!!

ThePosieParker · 20/07/2011 12:28

I disagree that boys names are harder!!

Faggotsnpeas · 20/07/2011 12:25

We are having Noah, but our shotlist ended up as
Elijah
Reuben
Rowan
Ethan

If I have a boy the names we have picked out are either Jared or Kade.

If it's a girl we are totally stuck, we've used our favourite 2 girls names already - Ketti and Leila and there are literally no other girls names we've come across yet that we like!

Cece i dont think its anything like Jayden but i do agree its not like the others.

CheerfulYank · 19/07/2011 22:09

I like Cormac and Malcolm, both with Mac for a nickname. :)

cece · 19/07/2011 21:01

IME Mac is not in the sametype of name as Hugo, Bruno and Rufus if you know what I mean. I always think it is more along the lines of Jayden, Harrison and so on...

Fifis25StottieCakes · 19/07/2011 20:45

I know, ive got 3 dd's. If i ever had a boy it would be a toss up between Warren and Mac i think. Dont know of any others. It was on my family tree in 1920.

goodnightmoon · 19/07/2011 20:37

i love Mac/Mack - not sure why it doesn't get more of a look in.

Fifis25StottieCakes · 18/07/2011 19:30

Warren
Mac/Mack
Sam
Euan/Juan

I was going to call a son Lester but am having a girl (and finding choosing her name a nightmare)

You see Theodore, Oscar and Felix were on our list for Rufus, but now I have friends with children with those names (ditto Arthur, Seth and Stanley). Finn was the only name we had for dc2 and we weren't sure about it... again, a few of them around. Luckily we had a girl! Boys names are harder.

We've got a Rufus too.His brother is called Johnny.If he wasn't called Rufus would have been Theo or Felix.Agree boys names are hard to choose!

nameynamechange · 17/07/2011 15:15

oooo we have a Rufus too :) Our other boys are Jasper & Tobias.

We considered Gabriel, Dominic, Idris, Bruno & Linus - boys are names are much harder to choose ime.

Coo - you lot are a good. Will go through these names with my DH. I have a feeling that he'll veto a fair few, but lots of fab names - Hugo, Bruno and Gabriel are definitely options...
