Week overdue, STILL no boys name...

Currently a week overdue, I wanted Duncan but DH says no, and no to every other suggestion I've made! Rude if you ask me, I'm the one who'll be going through the labour and have put up with pregnancy...!

Will take any suggestions, just not Charlie, Jack, Max, Oliver, George, Alfie, Harry or any other name that is ridiculously popular. Great names just don't want him to be the 5th in his class!

PLEASE HELP!!

Curious: what has DH suggested?

Snazzynewyear · 29/03/2013 12:50

David, Ewan, Stephen

or come up with something outlandish and insist to DH that that is THE name. Insist in this especially during labour. He will then be happy to settle for Duncan Wink

Oh how sweet DS is waiting for you to choose a name (tries to look on bright side of flowerygirl ready to pop).

Nathaniel or Nate if you dislike Nathan?

James/Jamie
Matthew
Rory
Hallam
Ross
Zachary

Hope you meet him very soon Smile

If I wasn't having a boy I'd be having a Jonah... Fabulous name and I was slightly disappointed when I found out it was a girl just because I had my heart set on the name.

Good luck with the birth. Smile

This time 4 years ago I was a week overdue, so you have my sympathy.
We named that overdue baby Nicholas, which (I think) is one of the best boys names ever.

Peter is, I think, another lovely name that is often overlooked. Don't know any under the age of 30!

Nathaniel is lovely I would shorten to Nate.

How about Elias (Eli), Tobias (Toby), Daniel?

That's funny as it's actually a family name! Just worry everyone will shorten it to Nathan...

Nathaniel - my favourite ever name, sadly it didn't suit either of my DDs Grin Please use it!
