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 think they are! I vetoed Hunter on the basis I'm a vegetarian, so not exactly pro-hunting! Grin I secretly think its a very cool name!

( I think I was on the conception "bus" when you found out you were pregnant Smile )

I like Joseph - but it has too many religious connotations for us. It is a lovely name though Smile

The girls name we like is Zoe Caroline (and then our surname which is 1 syllable) Smile

My husband is looking through lists of boy's names and of course is trying to be funny by only calling out the ridiculous ones..... Smile

I found girls names easier than boys.

PollyPlummer · 21/09/2013 21:17

What girls names do you like ?

Just to get an idea of what sort of thing you like Smile

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 21/09/2013 21:16

Maybe if it's a boy you should just give him a girl's name.
