My list or DH's?

44 replies

TwoTearsInABucket · 16/09/2013 14:29

So, 9 weeks to go till dc3 is due. He's a boy. We had decided on a name but have both gone off it.
I have done a list, so has DH. They are quite different? Which one do you prefer? And what is your preferred name from either list?

Mine:
Axel
Brodie
Coby
Caleb
Edward ( Eddie)
Linus
Remy
Claude or jean-Claude

DH's
Aaron
Blake
Fletcher
Fergus
Hugh or Hugo (this would not go with our surname)
Mark (we have a son called Marcus, why would be think its ok to use mark???)
Francis (frank)
Victor
Vincent

Or can you suggest a name that we both might like?

Don't like any of your list, sorry. Of your DH's I like Aaron and Fergus.

Other suggestions here I like are Seth, Ivo and Rufus.

Nothing leaping out really. Fergus ok.

I like Angus. Logan is nice. Peter is v cute. As is Johnny
Any good?

I like Linus and Francis/Frank

Coby, Caleb and Remy are kind of ok, so I guess I prefer your list over all.

Dammit! DH is winning!

I prefer dh list

EldritchCleavage · 16/09/2013 15:15

I'm afraid I think your DH's list is better too, though not by much! What about:

Edwin
Gilbert
Dorian (I know one, it's a cool name)
Wulfstan (not a joke, I actually love it but my (sensible) DH vetoed it!)
Asher
Reuben
Hector
Ivo
Cyrus
Davis (my nephew's best friend is a Davis, quite nice)
Peter (due a revival)
Melvin
Harvey
Allen

I prefer your DH's list, and especially Fergus and Vincent (also Hugo but it's a none starter)
The only one of your list I like is Claude, if you are in the UK, I don't think Jean-Claude would work very well.

LillyNotOfTheValley · 16/09/2013 15:02

From your list I like Axel and Edward, from your DH's Victor and Vincent.

To "go" with Marcus, I would suggest Adam, Arthur, Aubrey, Maximilian.

I don't mind Aaron, fergus, or Francis. To be fair to DH.
He doesn't like any of mine!

The more I think about it, I love Francis for a boy. Frankie when he's little, Frank when he's older. Love it!

chickydoo · 16/09/2013 14:50

Love Frank
Quite like Brodie

tywysogesgymraeg · 16/09/2013 14:49

I like DH's list, sorry OP.

In particular, Aaron, Fergus, Hugo, Francis.

diddl · 16/09/2013 14:44

Linus & Fergus-both fab names!

I like Hamish, Rufus & Silas.

Wineandchoccy · 16/09/2013 14:34

From your list I like Edward and from your DH list I like Vincent (Vinnie) and Frank not sure about the others.

What about

Reuben
Gabriel
Zander
