Me and hubby have been discussing baby names and although we have got a girl's name we like there is not a single boys name that either of us can say, "I like it."

We are having a sexing scan in 3 weeks and hopefully they will say it's a girl otherwise we are screwed Grin

We just don't like ANYTHING!!

I need some inspiration - what are you ladies calling your boys lately???

I'm having the same problem! Our little boy is due in 13 weeks, yes that's right, Christmas Day, and we still can't decide on a name we both like! My husband can't even find ONE boy's name he likes, where I did a bit better with my pathetic list of 4 (Brody, Callum, Sebastian and Mason!) xx

Gregory is lovely.
I like Dominic, but we couldn't use it as we have one in our family already.

Love Rowan.
Love Isaac.

Peter must be due a revival surely? I have not heard of a single one in the past few years.

starlightloz · 21/09/2013 21:50

Eli, Tobias, Noah, Elias are my favourites. All lovely meanings and sound like friendly boys :)

Rowan
Alexander
James
Peter

Hunter reminds me of Gladiators.

DrHolmes · 21/09/2013 21:49

Aw but does it really matter? If you like the name I wouldnt pan it just cause you know someone else with it. Seems a shame.

Joey, Jules, Julian, Julius -like from arnie in "twins". Sam.

drholmes - we did consider Leo actually! Hubby said he liked it, as do I, but then he said he knew someone else who had a Leo and so the idea was scrapped Sad

Inclusionist - apart from Zack, they are just too 'out there' for us Grin

I was the same, as soon as I found out I was pregnant we had picked a girls name, couldn't think of a single boys name so it was inevitable that I'd be carrying a boy! We argued over names for about 3 weeks before deciding on Harry x
