Just found out we are having a BOY {eekkk} really thought it would be another girl.

DH and I can't agree at all on boys names. DH likes James, I like Toby. We need a compromise, can you help?

If your only complaint about James is the popularity then James it should be.

How many baby James' do you know? Have you ever actually heard James being shouted in the playground?

Mortified Only James! That's its. I tell you....arghhhh

He's know said no to Kit too, so literally no names.

He doesn't like Toby and I think James is perfectly nice just a bit popular!

What has he suggested?

SmallTorch · 05/09/2013 14:14

Actually I do know a little Joby! He's 3, quite posh.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions. DH has said no to every name I have suggested. Seriously impossible!

FingersCrossed has listed most boys names I considered. Apart from...

Hamish
Hector
Amos
Raphael
Sacha
Ivo
Aneurin (Nye)
Abraham (Bram)
Innes

I also thought 'Jude' when I heard your girls names. What about Reuben too?

Thank you for the congrats!

Annoying DH isn't having Jude at all. Also it doesn't really go with DD's name. Names I like but DH doesn't are: Monty, Rex, Xarvier those types of names. Basically pretty much all of Fingers list DH has turned his nose up at Smile

We had Kit down several years ago for DD. I am not a huge fan of Christopher, Christian or Kaster. So not sure if we could pull it off a just 'Kit'

I like Oliver and Thomas however too popular. Miles and Elliot dont do it for me. Have gone off Arthur recently.
