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

Go down the ONS list. That's what we did, we found 3 of which 2 we couldn't use due to family etc.

boys names are really hard. We had a girl's name and boys name for dc 1 (girl)

had the same boys name and a favorite girls name for dc 2 (boy)

with dc 3 we had loads of girls names but were stumped for a boys name. Still not sure I love it but it'll have to do, it was the only one dh & I could agree on.

I liked Hamish, & Owen, dp didn't.

Try a made up name? Or a historical one? Or a name local to the area type thing?

Have you looked at the ONS list of every boys name registered for last year, or any year? Must be something there!

Name i love today is Magnus

I am having this same issue. 34 weeks with DS3 and I can't find anything I really like. I had a shortlist but now I just look at it and go meh.

I think girls names have the potential to be more unique without being unknown.. Boys names are a LOT harder!

I like Ethan ATM, but it's not ideal for us, please don't flame me if your ds is called Ethan!

I know, me too. Had a list as long as my arm of potential girls names that I love, but we're expecting a boy and I can't find a single one I more than quite like. Apart from Barnaby, nn Barney, which DH has given a very firm no to.

But I like Harumph for a boy

OhNoYouExpedidnt · 25/03/2014 14:51

Harumph is not a good name for a girl I'm afraid.

EyelinerQueen · 25/03/2014 14:47

I hear you OP.

I'm 22 weeks and having a boy.

I can't find one single name I like. All boys names seem so boring Sad .

I had the best name picked out for a girl too. Harumph.
