i am fairly early on in pregnancy with dc2, but i can think of no names i like whatsoever.

dh has made umpteen suggestions, i either dislike them or they don't go with the middle & surname. i like to know in advance what i'm calling the baby, makes it seem more real to me.

so, suggestions for both genders please :)

sorry, cheerful, but max & ben are names i associate with dogs (wincing as i KNOW someones going to come on going "oi, thats my kids' names")

sausages, callum, while lovely, is a name i always mispronounced as camel when i was wee. the thought has stayed with me, i'm afraid !

That's perfectly all right. I am a giant name nerd and it's fun. Let me know if you think of something that you like the sound of but it's not exactly right, and then we can go from there. :)

James, Connor, Owen, Logan, Cade, Michael, Aidan. John, Emmett? Avery?

i do like michael, but it's dh's name & its a no-go due to aforementioned bil/dh ds/new baby thing.

logan is nice-ish, but not quite "it".

Morgan? Dylan? Griffin? Rhys?

Deacon? Kyle? Ryan?

i like morgan, but round here it seems to be used for girls for some reason i know its a boys name. same as marley, i love that name, but it seems to be used for girls here.

i do like ryan, but the surname begins with r & i don't like alliteration.

OP posts:

CheerfulYank · 18/01/2012 01:54

Oh that's right. Brian? Carson? Wyatt? Wyatt, Newton, Morgan, and Virgil Earp were gun-fightin' brothers. :)

Do you want me to stop yet? :o

cheerful, feel free to continue, but i'll see them in the morning, got to be going to bed now, it's 2.40 am here.

zhen- thanks for all your suggestions, unfortunately none of them are grabbing me. (do we have a pita emoticon ) i know marley's a boys name, but everyone round here seems to think its a girls name, & use it as one. annoying, but i don't want my son getting teased for it. plus, since that film, it also has doggy connotations for me.

i asked DS for inspiration. (he's 16 months)

he helpfully suggested "mummum".

hmm. has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

OP posts:

CheerfulYank · 18/01/2012 19:50
