Please help, after 2 years of discussing baby names & now only having 19 more weeks to find 1...there are no boys names we want to use!!! Lots that are nice but none that we'd want for our son....

(You may think 19 weeks is along time but after 2years, it's no time at all)... Thanks

I'm having the same problem OP!
I have so many girls names that I love and would happily use, but can't find a single boys name that I love. A few that I like but not love and can't imagine a son with those names, whereas I can picture a daughter with most of the names I have.

Oh another fave! feeling generous Grin

rootypig · 26/03/2014 16:42

Ooh thanks Ralph Blush

Just need a DS now Grin

SimplySara · 25/03/2014 21:16

Im finding boys names so much easier than girls. There is a lot if good ones out there just need to be constantly on the lookout.
Today I'm liking
Calvin (nn Cal)
Ansel (as in the photograher Ansel Adams)
Wallace
Nickolas
Shane
Thurston

Changes evetyday though

nochips · 25/03/2014 19:27

We found this too.

Names we considered;

Tobermory (Toby for short. This was DH's suggestion and it floored me as i loved it. )

Phillip

Reuven (family name)

Ezekiel

John (no-one is called John these days)

Michael (same)

Benjamin (always a lovely name)

In the end we went with something that is classic yet as out of fashion as John.

i like Aedan (no that is not a spelling mistake, i think it's nice spelt differently)

MummyBeerest · 25/03/2014 16:02

I actually found boy names easier! But I had a girl. Maybe that's why?

If DD were a boy, and only DH was going to name her, she'd have been Lucas, Liam or Logan. I liked these but also love:

Leo
Magnus
Felix
Alistair
Bennett

ListenToTheLady · 25/03/2014 16:00

We couldn't find a boy's name we liked either, and we finally settled on something that isn't a name. I won't say what but you could look at lists of names of plants, famous people's surnames, animals, stars and planets, words from old languages, etc.

Bornin1984 · 25/03/2014 15:52

Thanks to the mn massive who set me a short list dh and I finally agreed on Noah for our boy!!

We struggled with a boy
Too

Jotham.

I love love love this name and so wish we had used it for DS. Got as far as saying "Jotham" to the midwife and she said spelt like "Gotham city but with a J" yes but with a J - so nothing like it. Really was put off then but now wish we'd stuck with it. It is DS' middle name :(
