We are sorted for a girls name, since I suggested Liliana dp won't consider anything else and I love it too :) We find out in 3 weeks and I want to have at least one boys name we love but we aren't doing great. We have a list but there's nothing we both really love.

So far:

Michael (a family name but I'm not convinced)
John (but dp isn't all that convinced)
Max(imus) I really like max but not sure I it's enough
Cohen (dp likes this best, I do like in theory but not sure about using it!)
We might like Victor And durian but again can't imagine them on a child.

Names I vetoed - Odin, loki, Titus.
Names dp vetoed - Ivor, Jared, Casper, Rowan, isaac, Caleb, luke, Ralph, Rodger, dexter...
Names we like but can't use due to family and friends - Jacob, Alex, Elijah, kit, Elliot, Edward and James.

I've tralled the net and books but I must have missed something!
Any unusual ideas welcome :)

love Victor, Dominic and Patrick.

Your boys names are much better. Lily was so popular ten eleven years ago.

I like luka and Tobias/ Toby but dp says Toby is too cutesy (he's quite a manly man) and Luka is apparently same as luke.

This is so hard... I don't understand how I can like so many names (there are many I've suggested and can't remember them all to put on here) and yet we can only agree on a couple!

I like Michael and max, or Maximilian. Think max is fine on it own. Not Cohen.

It's not that max isn't enough it's whether I like it enough.

You have a lot of names I had on my list there including the two I went for and one of the middle names. We also liked: Hamish, Angus, Hugh, Drew (Andrew), Sydney and Prentice.
